Camo Silver Ice High Gravity Lager

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

Of course, frankenkitty knew that by rating this, I had to try it. (Sometimes I wonder why we’re friends...) I was forced to pick up a 40-oz bottle and, as my drain pour rating would indicate, I could not finish it. Urine yellow and headless, it smells of wet cardboard, corn syrup, metal fragments, and alcohol. It has an, oily, burning palate and tastes of corn syrup, condemned chemicals, and diesel fuel. This is nasty stuff, even for a malt liquor.

Yellow with a taller foamy off-white head that dissipates to a waxy lid. Sweetened creamed corn with alcohol and paint thinner. Thin and yet sticky in feel. Paint and caramel corn flavors. Really rather sickening.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cereal), with notes of DMS and alcohol. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation, moderately alcoholic. The silver medal for the Alcoholic Olympics?

Light gold with no bubbles. A thin white head. The aroma is light and corny with a metallic tint. The taste is sweet and corny. Also some other grains I can’t quite explain. This is pretty bad.

24 oz. can. The aroma is almost, but not quite corn. Arguably malt. Not much hop, perhaps a hint of grassiness. No alcohol in the vapors until a very deep inhale. Clear brassy gold color with a very respectable white head. Medium bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Instant burn. Sweet, almost sticky. Just holding it in my mouth had an effect on the frontal lobes. This seems designed to lay one out rapidly. The finish is a vegy, odd sweet. There might be some bitter, but the overall effect has rendered my palate to a state of questionable reliability. Time for some quick rinsing.

This canned malt liquor poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of ML like malts and orange. Its mouth feel is tingly bubbly with a lingering tingly palate and a mild ML bite aftertaste. Its flavor contained mildly vinous harsh notes and was very rough in the flavor department. The biting ML flavor gets worse with time.

Poured the expected bright yellow with a staying marshmellowy head and an almost impressive sticky side. At first, the flavor is a decent malt, but then your struck with this horrific rubbing alcohol aftertaste that makes you gag.

Pale yellow color with a large head. Slightly sour corn on the aroma. The taste was a bit off-putting, being a mix of a grain silo and stale corn. A little gagging, but not the worst malt liquor.
