CAN: cold. What can I say that hasn’t been said already? I’ll try. For $1.50 you can’t get a more potent 24oz beer. Heck, it’s like 4 regular 5% beers, so that ain’t bad. Oh yeah, except it tastes pretty bad. Real bad. I guess truth be told it had more flavor than bud light, and if I wanted to get drunk it would be fun as hell to beer bong one or two of these. I guess that may be the only way to "enjoy" one because then you can’t taste it.

This is hands down the worst beer I’ve ever had. That sad, I still drink it in times of financial trouble. Avoid at all costs, unless your disc golfing. The ONLY good thing is that its 10.5%, but that can’t even save it

Rating #2000. Hooray for me. I purchased this a couple months ago at Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. It costed me $1.49. I poured this lager into my glass and was greeted by an aroma suitable for an apple orchard. Lots of apple cider notes present. Could this be a fruit beer or a cider masquerading as a malt liquor? Oh wait...the more I smell, the more fusel alcohols I detect and I also get some corniness. Yeah, this is pretty swampy and vile aroma. It has a nice dark golden body with a surprisingly long-lasting white head. Scant lacing. Holy fuck. Ho. Lee. FUCK. Fusels. Metallic flavors. Bitter raw fusel burn. Lightly sweet. But this really burns...a lot. It stimulates my gag reflex. I feel like this is giving me stomach ulcers. Probably the most undrinkable beer that I have ever had. The only redeeming factor is that it actually looks like beer.

A dark brown to black appearance with a large tan head that left beautiful streams of lace on my glass. Yeah ok you know what it looks like. Aroma is not bad for the beer, malty with a hint of corn. This is one of the sweetest malt liquors Ive had. Like chewing on candy corn and then drinking mouthwash. Smells better than it tastes.

From a 24 oz. can. Medium godl body with a thin white head. The aroma is fresh sweet corn and some notes of alcohol. Love me some corn flakes! The taste is notebook paper and very sweet corn and sugar. Surprsingly whiel this feels liek a big beer, thick in the mouth, there isn’t the fusel alcohol note, so it’s actually a little more drinkable. Actually, this is one of the better malt liquors out there, especially for the abv.

Very potent malt liquor that is only around for one reason... To get you drunk in a hurry. It is cheap and effective if that is what you are looking for. I find this to be one of the best (that isn’t saying much) of the Camo beers. I have had bad microbrews that tasted similar that cost much more. Has a sweeter flavor and a decent semi smooth aftertaste. I was actually impressed that I wasn’t ready to throw up after my first taste since my experience with the other Camo beers sometimes illicited that response. Smells like crap and I can’t comment on the color as I have only drank it from the can. Overall this beer serves its purpose especially for the price. Definitely not an everyday brew but if you are ever in the mood to get drunk fast, this is your beer.
