hammsolypabst (12), Redding, California, USA Jul 29, 2008 Coqui 900 is one of the best malts around, I got this from my boy djoe800 in Philly. Minor buzz but great taste from this 40oz legend. Also known as frog piss I belive this tastes better by a mile. Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Jul 5, 2008 40 ounce bottle. I am slogging through this beer regretting ever having purchased even if it was just for the sole purpose of getting drunk on the cheap. NO PURCHASE ever again REDDOGICE (202), nantucket, Massachusetts, USA Jun 2, 2008 has cheap written all over it. disgusting flavor, as if it were left to sit in the sun for twenty years, which is probably what happened. Aroma smelled like someone opened King Tuts tomb. palate was left with a slimy feel. mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Nov 26, 2006 Looks ok, but smells of a yeast infection. Tastes like a standard forty pretty much, at least when it is relatively cold. Really, it is an ok forty with an unpronouncable name. I would drink this again I suppose. MolsonMan (58), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 25, 2005 golden color lots of head, taste like piss. Perfect brown bag beer for the boys on the coner, late at night. JFGrind (1346), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 5, 2005 Updated: Feb 6, 2005Acording to Philly’s own Schoolly D "Coqui 900 is a B-boy’s drink". Schoolly D wrote a song about Coqui 900, it’s on his 1988 ’Smoke Some Kill’ album. Seventeen years later I’m at the corner of 9th and Washington in the Philadelphia’s Italian Market and find a deli filled with hobos drinking tall boys, 40’s and 12 ounce bottles both inside and outside of the joint. I thought what could be better than a can of beer in a bag for the walk back to the car after having Laotian food. Low and behold the deli had 16 ounce cans of Coqui 900. $1.25 a tall boy (paper bag was free). Oily, bubble gum taste. Lots of corn in every sip. South Philly hobo beer. I’ll give "900" extra points for being Schoolly D’s favorite beer and the can saying it was brewed by G. Heilman La Crosse. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 14, 2004 It does look good, clear golden color with a sudsy white head. After that, it falls apart. Smells like the men’s room from an old neighborhood bar. More corn than barley in the taste. My tongue burned slightly when I was done. I won’t comment on the other physical effects, all unpleasant. JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA Sep 12, 2004 40oz: I heard a lady ask for this by name. "Cokey, yo!" Yellow and grainy. Quite the alcohol fire burning in this one. Underlying notes of sugar and corn. Adjucty mess.
