Of the many 40s Ive had, this one really wasnt all that offensive. Clear piss yellow with fair white head that dissipates quickly. Sweet corny aroma is slightly grassy. Flavor is metallic and grainy. Medium thin body with moderately high carbonation. Sweet name though.

It is not so much that this is horrible, but it is like an extremely light, fairly poor lager with poorly hidden alcohol and that is just not very good. There is just almost nothing positive to say about the beer. It could certainly be worse. I had a sip of Joose, an energy drink/flavored malt beverage, and that deserves a score a few points lower across the board than this beer, a technically impossible negative numeric score, but then it should be classified as a sin against humanity rather a beverage. Anyway, King Cobra looks ok. It has a very unexciting look, incredibly clear pale gold with some ugly white lacing. The nose is metallic, alcoholic and corny. It makes some adjunct lagers taste malty. Then again, it is not patently offensive. I would not slap someone in the face for giving me a glass of it. It just tastes like very cheap beer made with little to no care for flavor. The flavor is mild with notes of metal, corn, rice which comes out a bit biscuity in a bad way, and too much alcohol for the body. The feel is thin and mildly gag inducing. The alcohol and other bad qualities grow as I make my way through a glass. Speaking of which, Duvel please forgive me for misusing your tulip so. All in all, I would pass if this were the only thing on the menu and it was free, but I would not punch someone in the face for giving me one. That might not sound like a compliment, but I am working up to my Bud Chelada review.

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting at Dogbricks on 12/4/08. This was the warmup beer. Pours a clear yellow with some white head. Aroma of malt and some yeast. Watery flavor with some malt. A bit tart. Not gonna buy it any time soon, but not as god awful as I expected.

a 40oz is between 1.50 and 1.75 and it tastes ok for a malt liquour. overall it is my favorite malt liquor. This beer is pretty common in nnj but not in fla becasue of the 40oz ban

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: The beer pours a clear light yellow-orange color with a thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of corn and mild malt. Light-bodied with sweet vegetable and malt flavor. The finish is relatively flavorless with just a touch of sweet malt. Nowhere near as bad as I expected. Lack of flavor trumps horrible flavor any day.
