It's some bad ass beer i remember getting trashed on this shit in high skool with my dad and uncle it waz there favorite beer
After all these reviews I noticed I never did a malt liquor. They didn’t have any 8 ball so I grabbed mickeys instead. Obviously it’s not good but I was able to slam it down. Only hints of funk. It will get you drunk! Pretty sure that’s why the style exists cheap and will get you bombed.
Smells very fruity and flowery, tastes kinda light and sweet. It tastes like a cheep beer with some corn syrup action going on. It's not bad as a malt liquor. After two I definitely felt it aswell which was nice.
From backlog. Bottle at Extended Stay America, Cypress, Ca. Yellow with white head. Malts, hops, corn, Sweet.
24 oz can, Chicago. Much weaker and even hoppier than expected, its reputation is one thing, but the reality is more of a chalky, watery PL. To be avoided or at least not sought out, indeed, though for different reasons than expected
24 oz. can. Very bubbly. A pale, sickly color, and a big, dense, frothy, white head. The nose is mostly corn syrup, with some indistinct hops, wet grass, and bread dough. Sweet and sugary, with a very light bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, sticky, and very effervescent mouthfeel. Pretty easy and smooth, but not exactly good. And I don't have anyone to blame for this but myself...
Best Beer ever
No Q.A.
This is the type of bottle that you throw at a cop's head. Paper bag never required, always preferred.
Totally taste like pee. It has a very bitter taste. And a horrible aftertaste.
I really like it. It has a malty taste smells good has a cool appearance its a semi sweet taste.
12oz wide mouth bottle. Pours a dark yellow color with small fizzy off-white head. Typical sweetish corn aroma. Sweet flavor with some corny notes. Thick on the palate. Par for the course for malt liquor, I guess.
I’m a BIG fan of Mickey’s. It’s got it’s own character and flavor. A nice light taste accompanied by a kick that sneaks up on you. A couple of these, and your 4.5 date instantly moves up to a solid 8.
From Sept 2008
Poured from 40oz bottle:
Bright clear yellow gold with an inch or slightly more of foam. Surprisingly good lacing and head retention.
The smell is pretty much what you'd expect from the style. Some candy sweetness, some notes of corn, and a bit of hop bitterness.
The taste has that sweetness Malt Liquors tend to have but at least in this one, it's not over done. Some grain here with a decent amount of hop bitterness to offset the sweetness. IO can't call it grassy, or floral, or citric, just plain old bitterness and it does the job for me.
Ok, I drank a lot of this stuff back in the 70s, along with a lot of imports and the few American brews that were tasty back then ie Ballantine XXX, Rainier Ale, Sierra Nevada, Anchor, New Albion(long since gone), others that escape my memory right now and I *still* like this darn Malt Liquor and I don't think it's changed much since it was a Heileman Brewing product. I like it and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
Mickey’s Malt Liquor Big Mouth - A surprise find at Camp Stanley PX, and at 2.80/6 pack amazing bargain. Very satisfying after a day of not so hard work but a sweaty, thirst inducing walk up the hill. The aroma, well, it’s a malt liquor. Corn adjuncts dominate, but reminds of home a bit. No sign of malt liquor in a while, and not a lot of malt in this, despite being the first word in the style description. Kind of bad tasting, like you are ok inflicting self harm. The strength quickly washes that away, and alcoholic bliss starts settling over the hunger pangs, replacing itself over the need to eat. My primary urge is now to buy another six of these and skip dinner. This is the mass produced commercial indica of beers. I should downshift back to Bud or i’m gonna be too high to play softball or call home tonight. The caps have rebus puzzles on em, and not the same ones as Lone Star or Ballantine. They are a bit easier, and I like how they are on larger caps so easy to read. I’m gonna bring em down the the ball field tonight and get everyone turned on to em. Kind of sweet like vanilla. Creamy, sugary, catchy, very smooth. Like someone in a leather sport coat selling car stereos.
12 oz grenade bottle to my Zwanze day stem. I figured a beverage that described itself as fine needed a fine glass for serving. Transparent pale yellow with a sudsy white head. Aroma is sweet corn and the recycling bin after a party where bad pale lager was the drink of choice. Saw dust, and body odor. Taste is sweet and boozy. How they pack so much flavor into 5.6% is a mystery. It’s so bad that I love it.
wow, I used to buy this by the truckload with my friends years ago. It didnt seem to be too bad at that time.
Today? wow.......................
I realized this is "malt liquor", whatever the hell THAT is. I do not prefer it
Sharp, not much character, not much for a taste, simply gets you drunk. no thanks.
Gelbes Bier schöner schaum im Geruch malzig leicht süß irgendwie künstlich im Geschmack wie ein wässriger klarer Schnaps, leichte süße malz, furchtbar
Aus der Flasche. Gelbes Bier, heller Schaum. Im Geruch noch nasses Stroh und Getreide schlägt dee Geschmack dann echt alles. Eine grausame Mischung aus billigstem Industriebier und koreanischem Soju. Seltsam alkoholisch. Kornschnaps, Vodka, trotzdem recht wässerig.
Ratebeer you assholes,why didn't my first comment post? Now I have to type this over again,it it's not as great as my first wordings. Most beers taste like carbonated piss,Mickey's taste like a Carbonated light piss. The look is great, like light apple juice. The smell is pleasant, not to bold and strong, like Heineken,and definitely does, not taste like animal piss,like Heineken.
I'm all about the feeling,just like my Kush....mofo. How does it make me feel? Because, I like to feel good. Well, Mickey's makes me feel good,not lazy,not too hazy,and feel good functioning buzz,unless you too too much,ya big dummy. Same as getting too high, all about checks and balances....moderation. On a hot day on my lunch break,or after work; I guzzle a 12 ounce Mickey on an empty stomach and get a nice medium functioning,social buzz. It taste 6 12 ounces to get me drunk. I hate drunken feeling,like I hate Indica feelings. It's all about that motivational Sativa.
Thick white head atop a golden yellow body. smells of popcorn with a hint of honey . Well, it tastes better than that OE I had that day. Tastes of sweetness and corn. Kind of bitter on the palette. Below average at best...?
Bottle shared at Cotteridge convention 05/03/2016. Thanks to Macboost and team. A pale yellow fine white head. Aroma is simple pale grains, apple notes. Flavour is composed of berrry, sweet cereal, stale grains. Palate is thin, sweet, highish carbonation. Meh.
This is one of the most putrid things you can do to yourself. Surely there is someone out there than can tolerate this, but it isn't me. This is awful.
Pours a light gold with a small white head. Aroma is of sweet malt and grass. Taste follows the nose with an unappealing aftertaste. Overall, I can check malt liquor off my beer styles.
Pours a golden straw colour with a bright white 2 finger head. Wasn’t a fan of the smell. Tastes of corn and other veggies. Taste like High School beer.
Pours a clear golden color with a thick bubbly white head with surprisingly some good lacing around the glass. The aroma is rather faint but I pickup some corn and wet grass.The flavor is similar to the aroma. When drinking ice cold there is nothing off putting or bad about the beer but as it warms up the flavor becomes slowly off-putting. The mouth feel is light and the finish is very dry.
Picked up a 40 for the wife’s 40th bday party. It was not as bad as expected - kept cold it has a mild sweet corn taste with a tiny bitter finish. Brings me back to the high school days.
Used to drink this, Carling’s Black Label and Moosehead back in college. Loved the metal cap pull tab big mouth grenade bottles. Kinda sad to see they went with a twist-off cap these days. Got my first hangover on Mickey’s! It was the Mean Green! For what it is, it is still a good, cheap brew. Has a nice fruity aroma with little of the skunk or rocket fuel smell you get with Colt 45. The taste has a bit of a sweet corn flavor to it with just enough hoppy bitterness on the finish to let you know it was there. If you get a good batch that has been kept cold, Mickey’s is a good pour - though I always drink it outta the bottle. Best bottom shelf Malt Liquor on the market IMHO.
Very middle of the road brew big mouth barrel makes it extra easy drinking.
Its mickeys lol. i used to think this stuff was fantastic in high school but now it just makes me sick, oops
Not had one of these since I lived in West Berlin and went to an American Sector Fair (1988 I reckon). So when I saw the bottles on sale in some random supermarket while on holiday in California I had to buy one. Still as shit as I remembered it. Actually to be fair it is a refreshing brew with nothing untoward or nasty about it. Typical golden pour, slight, weak, white head. More maltiness than hoppiness, but ultimately both odourless and almost tasteless.
