Camo Genuine Ale

Brewed by City Brewery (Melanie Brewing Co)
Style: Malt Liquor
La Crosse, Wisconsin USA

Out of all the camo’s this is the worst and the best for a good buzz.Nice golden color,small white head that had a decent hang time then faded slowly to nothing.The aroma was forgettable corny and sweet with something else that reminds me of bad candied fruit or something.The taste was even worse then i thought with a strong corny side a mild alcohol bite (surprising for such a high ABV) but a lot of sweetness and some funky fruit tones mostly come through.Over time it will definately kick my tail but thats if i can finish this garbage.Fun to try once but i couldn’t do this more then that.

normally i dont drink beer before i am trying a new one, but i made an exception for this one. straight from the can, this isnt deserving of a glass. tastes like cheap fortified wine with some hints of corn. alcohol isnt masked at all, this burns when it goes down. yeah it got me drunk as hell and in a hurry but my head is really rocking today. if ever the ratings of default were set up right for a beer, this is probably that beer. the 5 x’s mean extra extra extra extra extra shitty

I used to live in Eastern Iowa, and I’d regularly travel through Cedar Rapids. One thing Cedar Rapids is known for is the large Quaker Oats plant in the midst of town, and one unfortunate side effect of this plant is a regular odor of sweet, sickly corn as corn syrup is molded into various forms of cereal. Depending on the direction of the wind, random parts of Cedar Rapids can be inundated with a stench of corn in the final throes of processing. Why do I mention this? Because the best way to describe the scent of this beer is if you were standing downwind when the Quaker Oats plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were suddenly and unexpectedly assaulted with a large quantity of napalm, sickly corn odor dying under a burning rain of chemicals. Add in the moldy, sticky head, the sweet corn and rubbing alcohol in the flavor, and the viscous and replusive palate, and there isn’t a drunkedness need on the planet worthy of this one. Pale yellow with a sticky, moldy white head. Nose smells like burning rubber and rotting corn.

A wise man once said to me, "Tractor explodes in wilted corn field. Burning rubber, gasoline, the crickets are suffering..." and I have to agree.

What ****ing lunitic is running the brewery that cranks this goop out? I paid 99 cents per 24 ounce can at a gas station in Ladysmith, Wisconsin 04/08/2K5. Very, VERY strange aroma. Tasted like a mouthfull of marshmellows sprinkled with mayo. No kidding. Between the high alcohol content and weird taste, this is truely liquid insanity. What I want to know is this: SOMEBODY must like this stuff, because it’s been made for a few years now. WHO? WHO the hell is drinking this, and drinking enough of it to keep it in production? I had 1 can of it & will never have another! WHO the hell is drinking this consistantly?

Ah what a classic. A classic piece of crap. This one is tolerable I guess. Hides the alcohol ok but we are still speaking of a major corn fest here. Camo will kick your ass for low cash. For ghetto punks only.

Light gold coloring with a large white head. The aroma is sweet corn with vomit and some beets. The taste is sweet corn with some carrots and corn. Not as bad as the other Camo beers. Drinkable.

If you can get past the taste, and don’t care what you feel like the next day, this stuff definitely puts you in the "pocket" for the night. These Camo varieties are absolutely the cheapest way to get drunk. Put each one in the freezer for about a half hour, and avoid excessive handling of the can while drinking to reduce the danger of this stuff turning warm.
