Barrett says Best not to think about it.
March 14th, 2008
Schell’s Pils is the kind of beer that’s fine if you’re just drinking it. I could see myself grabbing one out of a tub of ice at a house party, swigging it, and thinking it was a pretty good beverage.
But if you stop swigging and start “tasting,” you quickly realize it’s not so hot. It’s kind of sour as opposed to bitter — not a flavor I’m fond of in a beer. My advice is to buy it in the sampler 12-pack where you only have to suffer through 2 bottles of it. Drink the Caramel Bock first, then move on to the other stuff when you’re too buzzed to care. Keep the 2 bottles of rancid SnowStorm in the back of your fridge for when your brother-in-law visits.
vonklebs says Gluek Honey “buck”

Man this stuff is cheap. Not bad, wish I has just just finished mowing the lawn, and sucked a few of these down, to truly appreciate this beer in its element. Maybe I could crack open a hole in the lake, stick a pole down, pretend to fish, and get drunk off this stuff. It is what you expect and maybe better, but if you expect this to be “beer enthusiest good”, might as well get the heck out of the fridge section where this stuff lives, it keeps some scary company. Hey Fat Cat used to be a MN brewed beer, and that is truly CRAP !
Julie says Gluek’s beer flavored water

Really, I don’t want to be too mean because every brewmaster probably has their baby, and I’m sure this beer is someone’s… but I think they need to spend a little more time figuring out how to make this a ‘real beer’ - not beer-flavored water.
I’m giving it 2 stars because it’s not as bad as the cheap beers - but what else is there? I caught a faint whiff of honey, but otherwise it just tasted like a beer trying to move out of cheap status.
Mac says Cheap Beer

A two star beer for me is something I would drink socially but never buy myself. My initial reaction, after I had taken my first taste out of the can, was that this beer is a two. But after pouring it in a glass, drinking a little more, and perhaps thinking a little too much about it I decided that the taste, low cost, and the Ram on the Can bump this beer up to a three.
That said with 23 cans of this stuff left, a new beer to drink next week, and plenty of home brew in the cellar I need to invite some friends over this weekend!
Kassie says Pretty Gross

Well, it has a pretty color and it is cheap. But, it tastes gross and is getting worse as it gets warm. The smell is alright, but it is sort of offensive in my mouth. It just doesn’t taste good. I like my cheap beers to taste more like nothing, but this has a strong taste. It also has an aftertaste, which a cheap beer should never have.
But, if I’m going to be honest, this is significantly better than I thought it would be. I thought it would taste like honey piss, but I can’t even taste the honey.
I know I’m not being specific, but there is something I just don’t like. It tastes wrong.
