Pabst Brewing Company

Style: Malt Liquor
Woodridge, Illinois USA

As a teenager growing up on the mean streets of long island i often found myself making such economically sound decisions as buying 40 ounces of malt liquor. I know many people grow up in an evironment with limited choices of malt liquor. I on the otherhand grew up with a plethora of malted beverages to choose from. I have tasted probably a few dozen different types of malt liquor and none of which can compare to the tremendous taste of the Big Bear (the only malt liquor I still drink at my legal drinking age). No my friends this is not a beer for the week hearted dabbler. This is a beverage for the true malt liquor connoisseur. Basically what I am saying is that Big Bear is the finest malted beverage on the market. Hell it just may be the finest beverage on the market. Just remember that when wrestling the Big Bear, no matter how ferocious the bottle depicts him, there is not way you can lose.

It does the trick, and it doesnt even taste that bad before it gets worm, I’m a big fan of the bear and hey for 1.25 u cant beat it.

if i have tasted a better malt i can not remember when. To quote the happy asian man who sold me this piece of heaven "big party to night, you got your big bear." Big party is right, 40 oz. to freedom. I laughed, i cried, i was genuinely inspired. You may say i fought the Bear and the Bear won but with this malt everyone wins. Clearly a malt liquor that I am proud to take out of the bag and show the world. Smooth down, smooth up, an experience that all malt liquor fanatics must embark on.

Nothin wrong with a big bear every now and again. Used to be the dollar ten special down at colombia.

Not much here! Somewhat listless & even boring! Better brews abound. not awful but not abopve average either!

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.

A good cheap 40oz. This is quite the favorit at Hope College for getting fucked at a decent price.

A pretty typical 40. I do love the label and partaking of a few with the iceman and funk. Its decent but I am a Mickeys man myself.
