Corn, grain. Very sweet. Overall a weak aroma, chemical. Dull gold amber clear with small white head. Medium thick body with medium carbonation. Sweet start, chemical bitterness. Alcohol. Watery. Pretty poor malt liquor.

At the first smell, I knew it was gonna be bad! Body is scary. Finally it is drinkable but not enjoyable. If you don't wanna spent a lot of money and get drunk fast, go for it!

Golden and clear in appearance. If you sniff hard enough there is some aroma - a fishtank. Flavours are sweet petrol amd fleeting, unlike its alcohol. The things you do for a rating.

Looked like beer. Smelled slightly interesting. 75 character minimum gives too much room for slamming this beer. One sip tells the story. Drain pour.

Tasted in Toronto from the LCBO. Golden colour, litlle or no head. Intense sweet smell with strong alcohol aroma. Flavour is very strong in alcohol. Tastes like rubbing alcohol (Editors note: I have not, nor will I ever be in the position to actually know what rubbing alcohol tastes like. However, if I were to know what 'rubbing alcohol' were to taste like, I am utterly sure it would taste very very very similar to this beer) Keep this beer away from open flames.

"light" version for France: dropped down to 8.4% in anticipation to the french tax law (for beers with more than 8.5%) of 2003 (which was finally annulated) - clear yellow colour, few foam, alcohol and apricot aroma, very sweet, oily, very long malty, alcohol finish with some fruity notes - one-dimensional, for malt liquor fans only

Yuk. If you need to get blasted quickly, drink vodka. No body, bad hops, alcohol very apparent. No suitable for RateBeer consumption.

I had seen this for years, finally had to try it.Bad, but I have had worse.This has some malt and hop notes, but first you must get past the initial metallic flavour:(((( Not recommended for amateurs or Republicans. Also, do not attempt to light a cigarette--this stuff is flammable...
