Misdirected by the all knowing admins to King Cobra. I likely had the first rating but who knows, unfortunately I didn’t copy the review date when transferring and deleting the King Cobra rating. As my daughter would say- What Ever! Light golden color with a modest off white head. Sweet corn and lightly floral hops aroma. Light sweet start leading to a full sickening sweetness. No real malt character. Full and near syrupy feel. Light floral perfume bitterness detected near the end. Alcohol is not found which is rather surprising, but still does nothing to help this product. I remember when the products out of this brewery were more drinkable.

Apr 28, 2008 *SLIGHTLY* Darker amber than most macros. At $1.79 for four 16 ouncers [West Allis, WI. 04/28/2008) it makes a decent and cheap alcohol delivery system. But.....Woof! nolankowal nailed it when he posted "The flavors bites with more corn and refreshing dinner mints" You can smell and taste after dinner butter mints in this. Truly bizarre !
But if all you’re looking for is a buzz, ethanol-to-dollars ratio this ain’t bad!!!

Nov 20, 2007 Can RBSG 07. Orange pour with a short white head. The aroma roars with corn/grass and other plant life. The flavors bites with more corn and refreshing dinner mints. Medium body that goes down as smooth as swallowing toenails. Thanks Blake for letting this beast out.

Nov 19, 2007 Updated: Nov 21, 2007I poured this into a Sam Adams glass, mindful of John Cawelti’s analysis of the Western genre in "Six-Gun Mystique." The fictional frontier, he said, was a forge which burned away the civilized veneer of those who challenged it, and brought forth the true man within. A naturally moral man could become a Lone Ranger, an immoral man could become a Butch Cavendish. I reasoned, if the new Sam Adams glass enhances the experience of drinking a good beer, what would it do for a bad beer? Like this one?
It makes the bad beer experience even badder. This pours with a thick white head that resolved to a thin scum in a few seconds. There is at least a bit of yellow lager color in the thick part of the glass, while its "nucleation sites" keep the bubbles going to release the smell of cooked corn, iodide and Band-Aids®. More of the usual malt liquor taste of fermented corn syrup. Way oversweetened, like there may be beet sugar in here, too. Big alcohol kick that carries the promise of a thousand regrets. Tilting the glass to drink it brings the scent of bile to my nose. Difficult to look at, let alone finish.
So I was right. A modern designed Sam Adam glass can be a powerful instrument for good beer. But in the wrong hands, it can become a destructive weapon. Keep the bad beers out of it!
