As a teenager growing up on the mean streets of long island i often found myself making such economically sound decisions as buying 40 ounces of malt liquor. I know many people grow up in an evironment with limited choices of malt liquor. I on the otherhand grew up with a plethora of malted beverages to choose from. I have tasted probably a few dozen different types of malt liquor and none of which can compare to the tremendous taste of the Big Bear (the only malt liquor I still drink at my legal drinking age). No my friends this is not a beer for the week hearted dabbler. This is a beverage for the true malt liquor connoisseur. Basically what I am saying is that Big Bear is the finest malted beverage on the market. Hell it just may be the finest beverage on the market. Just remember that when wrestling the Big Bear, no matter how ferocious the bottle depicts him, there is not way you can lose.

BIG BEAR is tops in its game! BIG BEAR is very good at being a 40! It has a way awesome label that helps the drinker get into a positive mindset, and lets others know exactly what type of night/day the holder of the bottle is trying to have. For 7.5% booze this is crisp and infinitely downable! Malt liquors of similar gravity succumb to oily textures and disgusting corn-ethanol flavors. How could anyone rate this low if they’ve had steel reserve, evil eye, or O.E.800 I don’t know. Big Bear is relatively well-carbonated, and not unlike King Cobra in thickness, which makes it GOOD! Now that everyone’s adrenals are terminally fucked from drinking too much FOUR LOKO, its time we get back to basics, and BIG BEAR holds basic the fuck down.

It does the trick, and it doesnt even taste that bad before it gets worm, I’m a big fan of the bear and hey for 1.25 u cant beat it.

The awesome label sums it up; a gigantic, angry, rabid, red-eyed grizzly about to rip your face off... thus following the tradition of malt liquors being named after things that can kill you (i.e. Magnum, Hurricane, Colt 45, King Cobra, and the list goes on). This is one of my favorite 40’s. It’s easy to drink and pretty good for what it is. Pairs nicely with a Jack’s frozen pizza. UPDATE: If you can find this anywhere, let me know. It seems to have disappeared.

if i have tasted a better malt i can not remember when. To quote the happy asian man who sold me this piece of heaven "big party to night, you got your big bear." Big party is right, 40 oz. to freedom. I laughed, i cried, i was genuinely inspired. You may say i fought the Bear and the Bear won but with this malt everyone wins. Clearly a malt liquor that I am proud to take out of the bag and show the world. Smooth down, smooth up, an experience that all malt liquor fanatics must embark on.

Nothin wrong with a big bear every now and again. Used to be the dollar ten special down at colombia.

Not much here! Somewhat listless & even boring! Better brews abound. not awful but not abopve average either!

(my bottle says "pabst brewing company")light yellow body with an "olde English" type aroma.flavor is heavy malt liquor up front with a thin,dry,and watery finish.)not really one of my favorite 40’s.
