24 oz can brewed in LaCrosse. Deep golden color with a white head that almost instantly vanishes. Aroma of corn and sweet malt. More of the same in the flavor with a bit of a grainy bite. Alcohol there but not overpowering. For what it is and at .99 not as bad as it could have been.

golden amber swill color,small but decent white head that actuallly hung around for awhile.The aroma was CORN and light malt with maybe a hint of hops some where in there.The flavor was little different from the aroma with one exception..... i t went in instead of being inhaled.Pretty nasty but then again it wasn’t as bad as i thought it might be.Worth another try next summer.

24 oz can shared with Muzzlehatch and tiggmtl on 11/5/05. Small, rapidly dissipating white head atop an amber-yellow, fizzy, clear body with no lacing. Aroma of fresh, succulent corn syrup, creamed corn, candy corns, rock candy and table sugar, and stale grains, and alcohol, but actually not all that strong. Most of it is reserved for the flavor which begins with stale grains, alcohol and spoiled corn, while a syrupy, artificial candied sweetness builds up. Pretty much if you took a jar of maraschino cherries, took out all of the cherries and reduced the liquid to about half its original volume and then added that to the beer, that would be the flavor. A very candy-sweet, fake, syrupy, cloying flavor. Carbonation is high, but not as sharp as I might have expected while the mouthfeel is slick and syrupy with a fair amount of alcohol apparency and a light metallic note on the end.

Probably one of cities better contract malt liquors.This one is drinkable even after it warms a bit.Cheap at 88 cents for a 24 oz can.Dosn’t have the afterburn of many malt liquors.

Rockman, never seen it before. Must be one of those strong ale imitators, that we, over here we call malt liquors. Big bombing $1 - 24 oz can, tall gold and proud. My can says LA Cross Wisconsin 54601, not Ontario Canada. High gravity means there is a grave situation that needs addressed? Pop the lid and you get a whiff of alcohol and a slight hint of sweet fruit. I was expecting something very clear but this is almost as hazy as a american hefeweizen. Hazy yellow but not bright yellow, more like a yellow with hint of brown. Nice streams of carbonation in there. Head is just froth and the color of the foam is off white. Taste is strong and alky, almost as if they just added the alcohol after it was brewed. Palate is good with the carbonation, it certainly is not flat. This is very difficult to enjoy as beer. This seems to have one purpose, to catch you the big buzz. Although the alcohol is really strong like many very strong ales, the finish is quite different. Very strong ales have a hop or malt bitterness that lingers for minutes on end. This brew just plain linger alky, hardly any hops or malt flavors at all. This is more difficult to drink than Steel Reserve 211 High Gravity. It seems to be on par or slightly worse than hurricane high gravity. I am concerned this may fold over and ruin what is left of my beer tasting buds. The term "High Gravity" is sometimes ascribed to the idea that high-alcohol beer makes you fall down, but in fact refers to the increased specific gravity of the wort used to produce high-alcohol beer. Well in this case, I think you’ll fall down but not as quickly as some ales I’ve had with higher alky content. Some of those ales tasted just as bad. Many of the high alky ales also have that repulsive alky taste on the palate. Finish is medicine like, but you may not notice the repugnantness of the situation as you near the bottom of the can. The aroma and appearance of this beer is the only thing that saves it from being below a one.
