Mon Feb 22 2010Schlitz (modern formula) is one of the best mass-produced, American-style lagers on the market. I like its thick, creamy, white head and clear yellow color. Carbonation is high, and this beer has a good bite to it. Mouth feel is light and watery. Also, Schlitz has one of the best-looking cans out there. It is usually competitively priced. I've been drinking and enjoying it since 1996. Some of the reviews on RateItAll have confused Schlitz with Schlitz Malt Liquor. They're not the same product, although I also like the Schlitz Malt Liquor varieties (four out there). RJT

Sun Jul 12 2009I just can't give it 3. But it is the best 2-star trash beer I can presently think of. Drinkable swill in a pinch. Great for disaffected college students trying to distance themselves from emotionally remote parents. . . Also gets two stars for being Grandpa's beer. . . There has been a fun push amongst my tribe to slum it with some cheap beer to prove how varied their tastes are. . .but sorry - Schlitz is still swill. . .

Tue Jun 23 2009Schlitz is an old-school and low-budget beer. As such, it has a watered down taste that is rather foul. I do not understand why anyone would willingly consume this when there are way better products out there. For instance, Lionshead is a way better tasting budget beer!

Wed Apr 30 2008Schlitz has to be almost frozen before it's drinkable. Overall, it is low quality and just 'the kiss of the hops' leaves it without any character or bite. It is better than Old Milwaukee though. Oddly, the Schlitz malt liquors are my favorite.

Mon Jan 21 2008Three stars for old times sake. Here's to "the beer that made Milwaulkie famous". Probably no more than two stars now.

Fri Aug 26 2005This is a case where bad advertising killed off a best selling beer. Schlitz used to be a bid seller in the 50's and 60's. Then it tried to be cute and had it's gusto campaign. I think Robert Conrad was in on this ad campaign. He acted threatening stating Try to take my gusto away, or something like that. Well the public didn't take the gusto--it left it! Otherwise it used to be a middle of the road beer when it was made in Milwaukee.

Fri Sep 10 2004It tastes pretty bad, but it's real cheap and it will get you shlitzed. I buy it often. They let me pay in quarters and nickels.

Sun Sep 14 2003Schlitz gets a 5 for its thriftiness. 12 pack for 5 dollars...I don't care if its crap, but thats a deal if you are looking to get drunk.

Fri Aug 08 2003Not a bad beer - terribly underated by many. It's best to enjoy in the comfort of your own home - damn near impossible to get one in a restaurant. I tried a couple of times just for the hell of it.

Thu Oct 11 2001Old man's beer. Because they're still selling stock from when old men were young... At least that's what it tastes like. Every Schlitz I've ever had tasted stale.
