Jun 10, 2009 The name is scarier than the beer actually is. Basically a clean light lager. No unpleasant flavors.

Mar 3, 2004 Draught.
Body is medium yellow.
Aroma is
lightly malty (bread, grain),
lightly hoppy (herbs),
with notes of DMS, apple, and alcohol.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter, husky.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
I'm not sure it's possible to make a "good" malt liquor. If it doesn't have gasoline, DMS, and/or other unattractive odors, it can't really call itself a malt liquor with a straight face, can it? This is definitely a malt liquor, warts and all. To style? Yep. Enjoyable? Nope.

Mar 2, 2004 Oh, god, this could set a horrible precedent, but what the hell. If macros are gonna make feckless attempts at brewing craft beer, micros might as well show the macros how to brew 40s. King can: J/K, it came out of a tap. Light golden and clear with a bleached-white head. Creamy, sweet, and kind of honey-like. Surprisingly, no DMS-ish, sweet cooked corn notes, but some popcorn-like flavors. Alcohol warmed softly. Pretty easy to drink, though not very exciting. It'll get you effed-up though!
