| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Pours muddy straw into the glass, with a small, active head that reduces to nothing but spotty lace. The nose is of sugary corn. The flavors are of sugar, corn, cereals and sweet country grains. The finish lacks the fusel notes I would’ve expected, but that’s not saying much. A touch of alcohol mixes with some dirty, underdone attempt at a hop balance... it doesn’t work. The biggest reason it doesn’t work is because it’s a malt liquor, and most are cheaply made... even top-shelf ones. Bland, out of balance, over sugared and devoid of complexity and substance, this doesn’t escape the misery, and has honestly gained a few tenths of a point on name brand alone.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bought a 22 oz bottle for my Dad for Fathers Day last year. Pours a light hazy straw color with a small white head. Aroma is grainy with all sorts of farm-like notes, straw, corn, etc. Flavor is clean and smooth, so already better than the typical malt liquor. Grassy and lightly bitter in the finish with some barely there hops. Dominated by the sweet grains, but not unpleasant in the finish. Light to medium body and active carbonation. This was a fun one to drink with Pops deyholla (771), Bloomington, Indiana, USA

Aroma is full of notes of grain, malts and corn. Flavor has sweet malt notes with grainy and corn undertones. It is a bit syrupy on the tongue. Theis (3792), Denmark

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 15, 2009 22 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy peach color with a thin head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted grain, corn and burned sugar. Taste is sweet sugary corn with a bit of bitter grassiness. Medium bodied. Damn good for a malt liquor, but still not that great.
