Can, "shared" with Parksy and Grippitis as a punishment beer that was served up anytime one of us made a doubtful/negative/faithless/disloyal comment about the Seahawks. This is sheer aweful piss juice. But it worked-- Seahawks are on the way to the Superbowl!
A sugar coated corn chip. Is it absolute crap, no, but close. I’d stop drinking if this is the best I could afford. It’s a gateway beer, a gateway to Natty light. Not to far to go.
40! Bottle: Drank out of the bottle, golden clear with a white head. Aroma is grassy. Taste is pure heaven in a bottle, burns a bit.
24oz lenincat mail order from Canada. Low bubble dark gold with large, rocky foam. Good retention and full lacing. Nose is sweet cinnamon apple, baked pear. Taste is super tannic, mealy, sweet, baked pear and apple. A bit too sweet and powdery. Stick with Mickey grenades.
Bottle, drank straight from it. Got to a bachelor party late so I drank a bunch of dipas and malt likkas. to catch up. this was one of them. good boost. I’m
Smells of sweet corny garbage juice but in almost the nicest way possible. Taste is metal laced corn, added sugar, but the booze doesn’t show up massively. Not good.
2009 vintage can from stfun won during free beer week for eating way too much tacobell. Poured into my favorite schlafly snifter. Pours a clear, medium gold with almost 2 fingers of white frothy head. Aroma of green apples, grape skin, cotton candy and a little hay. Taste is light sweet. Cotton candy and apple with a little gasoline, metal, and sweat...hmmm. surprisingly light bodied with a creamy texture. Very soft carbonation but a long warming finish. Overall, not that good. Oddly enough though, still better that most "light" beers out there.
40. Served super cold.
Aroma: Bready cereals. Slightly skunked. Metallic.
Appearance: Clear light gold. Instantly disappearing head.
Taste: Boozy bread.
Palate: Light fizz, really watery.
Overall: Man this is bad. Really, really bad.
16 oz can pours golden with a white head. Aroma and taste pretty much just malts and grain. The only thing I will give iris it's price.
4/26/13. 40z bottle from Unclerudy. I traded that mead fucker a Hunahpu’s for this shit. First time I had this beer I fucking accidentally dropped some whiskey into it, so I don’t know. Fuck you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jeg-LbmJJc
"HG means "High Gravity," a brewing industry term associated with high-quality beer." No, you aren’t seriously gonna try and pull that BS with me are you? Let me tell you this, if a beer is aggresively marketed as "high gravity" that’s another way of saying, "This is some cheap boozy garbage that will get you hammered if you’re low on cash but wanna get a buzz going." Period. End of story. This beer.....I mean what can I say that you probably don’t already know? Horrifying? Gross? Disgusting? All appropriate terms. Total swill.
40 oz bottle. I’m not saying I’ve never had a worse beer, but I am saying I hope I never do again. Bleh.
Clear 40 with a screw top. Drank some out of the 40 and poured a bit into a red solo cup for the rate. Gold colour, foamy head. Nose is sweet and corny with a whiff of rough alcohol. Taste is sweet, corny and boozy. Medium body, less carbonation than expected. Smooth for a malt liquor.
Can. Light sweet malt and fusel aroma., Clear golden with a moderate white head, light lacing. Harsh fusel, unpleasant mildly bitter flavor.
Can. Berry and cabbage aroma. Golden with small head. Very sweet corn malt initially which isn’t too bad but is quickly followed by the evil fusels. Still better than regular Olde English.
Well what is there to say about this fine malt beverage... Looks like dehydrated piss... I can't smell anything and tastes like piss too pure malt bliss.
24 oz can in paper bag ; poured a trifle out for the dead homies so I could get an accurate depiction of the appearance. Looks subpar; a transparent orange with some white head. Smells cheap, semi-sweet, and doughy. Tastes like it smells with a below-average mouthfeel. Cheap malt likka.
I picked one of these up one winter night and sat down to watch TV. I wasnt too keen on the taste and by the time I finished the 40, I had a decent buzz.
40 oz in a brown paper sack (tipped some for the fallen homies). Pours clear gold with thick, frothy white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is plastic, corn, grassy hops, and rotten fruit. Flavor is bland malt without much else. Light body, low/medium carbonation, and low warmth. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta...
40-ounce bottle. Pours clear light gold with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with light lacing. Aroma is corn, brown paper sack, spoiled hops, and slight alcohol. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and alcohol, and a sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation.
Bottle @ the First Annual Rocky Mountain Malt Liquor Tasting. Clear, light yellow appearance with a slightly off white head. Boozy, corn, sugar, vomit, nasty fucker aroma. Oh fuck me. Not much taste but it’s just booze and corn. It’s really hard to finish a couple of ounces of this. Fuck you.
40. Clear orange, thin white head. Aroma is butthole, some dark butt berries, hints of sweaty butthole, just smells like nasty shit. Taste is bettet but only cause its cold, nasty grassy corn butthole nasty crap. I don’t know what to make of this.
Just awful. Awful awful awful. Why oh why??? Gag. Not even worth a serious rating.
Can. Poured light clear amber color with large white frothy head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Sweet grainy aroma. Light body with with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. Not something I would recommend to a freind.
Originally rated June 2005. This famous malt liqueur is quoted at 8% ABV on the bottle, here in Canada. Starts off on a nice note, with a golden colour and a white fizzy head that stays a while and leaves good lacing. The aroma is of sweet malt and heavy alcohol. Mouthfeel is kind of syrupy. The taste starts off smooth and then goes through a corn syrup and then falls into a burning finish of alcohol. Somewhere in there, I sometime get a plastic finish... that is gross. Excellent brew.... for the crass off the street. Glad I tried... for a second time, 10 years after. Still bad.
It pours a clean copper color with a decent sized off-white head that leaves some great lacing throughout the glass. Oh my God this smells amazing! There’s a smell of citrus, floral and piney hops a great grapefruit scent with some pineapple and other tropical fruits and even a little bit of peach, there’s even some sweet maltiness that sneaks in, they need to make a cologne and perfume that smells like this beer! The taste is equally amazing, the big combination of citrus, floral and piney hops come in beautifully with the tropical fruits there’s a slight malty sweetness that combines with the sweetness of the tropical fruit that balances perfectly with the hoppiness. The mouthfeel is amazing, it’s sticky it’s thick and satisfying yet it’s smooth and refreshing the alcohol is nearly nonexistant except for a slight warmth. Overall this beer is amazing and I cannot find a single fl-...Oh, wait, never mind. I thought I was rating "Pliny the Elder". Never mind.
I love love love part of the commercial description listed here: "HG means "High Gravity," a brewing industry term associated with high-quality beer."
Silly me, I thought it meant high-alcohol, cheap, crappy beer, but of COURSE it goes hand in hand with notions of quality. That’s why all the great craft brewers include "HG" and "High Gravity" in the names of all their best concoctions! OE HG800 is certainly not something delicious that I want to put in my mouth over and over again. Cheap, fairly sweet and adjuncty, 8% abv, and gets you instant props from your homies. Worse tasting than regular OE800, but doesn’t seem as heavy and corny. My homeboys on da culdesac laughed at me and made paper bag jokes, but in a lovable, comical way, I think. This is probably good for when you just want to get crunked up rather than look badd drinking a 40. Will not buy again.
24oz can. Clear piss yellow, fizzy white head. Mostly corn, sweetness, boozy, that’s about it. There are better malt liquor for your fix.
Drank chilled, as I’m sure it was intended. Corniness and watery with some weird aftertastes. However, it’s not as awful as one might expect. I could get well wasted on this brew in a hurry, which means it serves its purpose rather well.
Tasted from tall-boy can into snifter. Poured a pale yellow color with fluffy white head which dissipated quickly leaving some lace. Aroma of pale malt, lots of corn, no hops, no yeast esters but harsh alcohol. Flavor was worse: corny, soapy, watery and offensive. Just plain bad, even if there are far worse malt liquors.
