Jul 6, 2008 THOUGHTS: I’ve had a lot of malt liquor in my day and this wasn’t much different, but it’s just a step or two better. Sort of in the same way that a DIPA is not all that much different from an IPA, but is usually way better. Hid alcohol well.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured clear, medium yellow (almost gold really) with nice carbonation and a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was moderate caramel malt, light grass hops and corn. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet, light to moderately acidic, lightly bitter and a little sour with an average duration. There was mostly caramel malt then a little grassy hops. The light to medium body was a little syrupy then dry with fairly soft carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.

Jul 6, 2008 Clear straw yellow pour. A bit fruit and lots of malt on the nose. Very innocuous flavorless beer. Very sweet with a corn syrup like flavor. Some fruitiness. Drinkable, but not much going on here.

Jul 1, 2008 Mildly sweet aroma. Dull gold with a slight red tint. Taste is lite but definitely has that malt liquor burn in your throat. This was much better than I thought it would be. However after all is said and done it is one expensive malt liquor.
