Schlitz
Schlitz is a historic Milwaukee brand, once marketed as the beer that made Milwaukee famous. Today it is a pale American lager brewed to a mid-century recipe. It pours a bright, pale gold under a fine head. The nose is soft, with light grain, a whisper of corn and a delicate hop note; the palate is light-bodied and lively, with a gentle malt sweetness, a touch of biscuit and a moderate hop bitterness that keeps the finish clean and dry.
