Rating #800!!! And enjoyed from a clear 40, homiezz. I tried to swig it straight from the bottle like a propa G, but that just didn’t give me the right feel for it. So into a glass. Pours with at least a little color, but with all the character and head of a 7-Up. Smell is mostly, um, wet beer; touch of malt and mostly adjunct. And that’s pretty much the taste. Manufactured more than brewed, carbonated like a soda. No real taste to get in the way of alcohol… but I just can’t bring myself to give it the 0.5 I thought it’d deserve. First off, for a malt liquor it’s no stronger than most other beers. And yet I’m getting numb-faced trying to get through this bastard. And frankly, it’s no more than I could expect from a malt liquor. No skunk, no spoilage (probably no hops). Just an alcohol delivery system with no taste to get in the way.

Disgusting "beer." tastes of alcohol, urine, and stale malt. Only drank this with some friends because it was abnormally cheap. Luckily I didn’t pay anything for it. I bought the pizza.

Smells like stale beer that was spilled on the bar last night. Pours a *BRIGHT!* white head and thin corn water yellow. Has a syrupy medicine consistency and flavor. Yo, yo, yo! I gonna ax you’s ta listen up, homes! This dump was ’spensive @ $2.80 for for 16 ouncers. At only 5.9% happy goop there is plenty ov udder malt lickers an iced beers that cost less, and have more den 5.9% happy goop in dem! So chill and word up. This shit sux, mudda fucka!

40 ouncer with the marking: 08115 C5111. Watery yellow pour with fizzy white head. Malts, corn, and alcohol in the smell. Flavor is full of alcohol and a hint of malts. Maybe a little sweet-ish. The problem with these 40 ouncers is that you either drink the whole thing and get hammered or pour half of it away. Because to let it sit around, it will go from bad to worse. I hate to pour it away so I grin and bear it and go to bed early. This is not my first choice in beer.

What is it with these private bachelor parties with wild strippers that malt liquor is usually the event drink? I’ve watched this beer start from Blitz-Weinhard in Oregon, then to Pabst, then to SABMiller. Pours a clear golden yellow brew with a thin white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of sweet corn malt, sugar and a touch of green vegetables. Taste is full bodied, sweet, well-carbonated with a sweet corn and grassy/vegetable flavor. Finish is semi-sweet with a fast disappearing corn grit flavor. Everything I’d expect in a malt liquor. (hick!)
