Big Bear

Pabst Brewing Company
Brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Malt Liquor
Woodridge, Illinois USA

Fine then, as a joke (I think) a friend bought me a bottle of this. So here we go as the beer pours into my pint glass showing a clean golden hue and a lasting frothy head and even some lace. The aroma has notes of CORN and CABBAGE with a lovely fusel alcohol wrath. The taste is not any fricken better with a gosh awful DMS sweetness and lovely plastic medicinal phenolic mess. I almost barfed but kept it in check. Worse is that the one aspect of this thing that tastes like beer is a lot of sweet malt which sadly dominates the after taste. Well the mouth feel is fizzy. Taking one for the team I some how finished my pint glass. This is one big BAD bear, I am so ashamed.

has the sent of jet fuel nasty beer horrile after drinking a 40 of this i had a headache almost instantly bad beer for a good price

I love the smell of Malt Liquor. l like the quick buzz to forget about anything that is on the mind. Folks, this is about getting a buzz on. I find this in a Pick-&-Pak, Carl’s Quick Stop or suprisingly in Canada. I guess Canada enjoys a quick buzz also.

The most cheaply priced malt liquor in my area, from a soda cap twist-off 40 oz. clear glass bottle, freshness date on the shoulder, the words "Highest Quality" across a barley and hops imprint on the cap, 7.5% ABV, this is the first time I’ve tried this, I’m hoping it’s not a completely gut rotting alcoholic malt liquor, sampled ice cold. Pour a clear malt liquor golden with a tiny white head that quickly settled into a fine fizzy lacing. Manure-like fusel alcohol nose at first, followed by over boiled corn and sweet cereal. Active, but not fizzy carbonation, medium-light body, kinda of crisp, dryish, tastes of boiled corn and generic sweet corn cereal, a Cheerio’s knock off, fusel alcohol flavor that is pretty tame, but this is also ice cold, allowed to warm, I imagine the alcohol harshness would increase, used up, tasteless hops without much of a bite, a dryish, sugary, corn cereal finish. I’ve had worst malt liquors, but there is a reason why this is so low budget priced, $1.10 for a 40 at my local gas stations/convenience stores, but if you are broke and need a cheap alcohol buzz, this will do in a pinch. One recommendation, get this as cold as possible before consuming, goes down much easier.

ChineseHercules brought a big bottle as a "bonus" to a tasting. Label said it was brewed by Silver Creek in La Crosse WI. Pours a good head. Lasting skiff. Gold beer. Almost no aroma, just a burn in the sinus. Plenty of sweetness. Soupy palate. Each sip makes me shudder. Hate to think what it tastes like warm.

another rating but selling the soul to get one. Gasoline soapiness. Pure dreck.

terrible slop, and i am a fan of malt liquor, this is the worst malt liquor i’ve ever tasted by far

My Rose Bowl beer, dedicated to Michigan’s former quarterback, the one and only John Navarre. Has the appearance of the water in a washtub following the removal of a soiled Wolverines uniform. Dirty brown, veiled with the worn hue of another hard-earned bowl defeat. Despite the ferocity of the helm...er, label, this Division I beer starts with a delicate, conservative three yards and a bushel of corn approach fitting for its style’s tradition. Nutrient-leached greens, left on a lineman’s plate to the chagrin of his loving mother, swim among the husks. Do I punt on 3rd down? No, I play each down knowing I’ll eventually break through sobriety’s line. And, it’s this predictability that keeps me sipping as the game foments (or ferments).
