City Slicker Malt Liquor

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

Light straw color with a diminishing fizzy white head. Cookie dough and light flower aromas. Almost too sweet and perfumy. Flavors are lightly sweet and again rather flowery. No real malt flavors. Alcohol does not seem to be as overbearing in this malt liquor as in others of its ilk. But the lack of malt disappoints. Rather dry and meaningless finish. Had the choice between the 24 oz. can and the 40 oz. bottle. 24 ounces of this is more than enough to slake any ones thirst.

I am not a big fan of malts. However, this is pretty good. Definitely has a corn flake flavor and some malty notes. I take back what I said before this has too much corn and alcohol burn. The finish is metallic like a rotten pear. Maybe it is because I had it in the can this time.

Pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of spoiled sugar. Tasted like moldy sweet corn.

Picked this up in a liquor store in Superior, Wisconsin. The mullets behind the counter were probably wondering what this yuppie was doing buying a 24 oz malt liquor! Slick name for a malt liquor - no macho animal names for this beast. Wonder who the target market is for this one? Hard to tell with the pimp hat wearing mo-fo standing on the street corner. Has a light golden-yellow appearance with a soapy, slightly thick white head. Wet cardboard aroma with some funky malt byproduct smell in the back end. Sweet, sticky flavor, with a lot of adjuncts - think I saw a kernel of corn floating around in there. Has some bland fruitiness in there as well. If you close your eyes, it almost tastes like watered sown orange koolaid. Does City make a decent beer?

Sweet Aroma. Sweet Grains Much Better Then I was Expecting. Sweetness Seems to Cover Up any Skunky-ness...or Most anyways. a Thumb Up to Wisconsin for Making a Swill Beer That Was Better Then it Was Expected to be.

I’m going to save half of this brew for Thursday night for sure.My personal experience with these shows that ice cold is the only way to sample them,so icey it is.Nice golden color,small white head that faded fast but left a little foam behind.The aroma is malty and citrus (lemon) with a slight corn appearance,mildly sweet as well.It actually has a very nice flavor in the beginning.Malty sweet and fruity with a mild hop presence,with it getting a little bitter in the middle but not too badly.The after taste is a little sweet and fruity,with the alcohol only coming on briefly at best.It’s a little thin bodied but very nicely done and definately a brew that can be taken out of the paper bag.Thanks to GrainbeltGuzzler for sending me another nice brew.

This smells like shit. No really it does. The taste is rather smooth but it has some sort of paper thing going on with a bunch of corn. Its ok one of the easier malt liquors to drink.

This is the most interesting forty I have had becuase it was from a small wisconsin brewery i had never heard of. 40’s usually come from big time breweries. There were still able to capture the very distinct cheap 40 malt liqour taste. Average, tasted similar to colt 45.
