(Bottle 33 cl) Clear golden with a small, rough head. Sweet aroma of malt and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with plenty of sweet malt and brewing syrup. The finish is clean, crude alcohol. Drinkable though. 210208

Bottle, drank as part of a Harrington’s lager night. Standard clear gold, white head that retains only briefly. Corn syrupy malt aroma with some fusels that I don’t like. Flavour is same cereal malt, sweet, with intusive alcohol heat that finishes roughly. A tasty malt liquor? Haven’t had one yet.

Short lived head on a clear golden body. Light malt aroma with malt in the taste, smooth, warming alcohol and not much else. Not bad for a malt liquor but that is not my favourite style.

Bottle, pours a clear and dark gold with a white creamy head. A light aroma of sweet malt, a little bready. A full mouthfeel, very bitter on the palate, with a creamy sweet malt flavour. The strong alcohol presence ("crude" as Papsoe writes) makes it a difficult swallow and I’m suprised this comes in a 500ml bottle. Different though, I’ll give them that.

Purchased 01.08.09 at New World Frankton, NZ, 500ml bottle. Pours hazy gold, white head. Aroma is kiwi, tangerine. Flavor is hoppy and sweet, bitter and syrupy. I can taste the alcohol, it warms a bit. Could be better blended but this is the best malt liquor I’ve ever had.

Bottle. Golden with a white head. Big malt and alcohol aroma. The flavour is the same. No bitterness whatsoever. Has that alcohol warming in the finish. Easy to drink. I sure didn’t pick this up in anticipation of a complex beer...a few pints though and you may wake up the next day in a compromised situation.

Interesting that a respectable brewery like a Harrington’s would make what could only be classified as a malt liqour. Even so, it’s definitely the best malt liqour that I’ve ever had. A quality deep golden colour, with a thin white head. Malty and warming, but with enough hops to provide some balance and even some Saaz for aroma. My only complaint is that it doesn’t come in a 40oz bottle.
