Appearance: Pours a hazy, light orange-yellow body with a smallish, white head. Smell: The typical sweetish fetor of chemicals and adjuncts but kicked up the notches unknown. This is pretty poor even for a malt liquor. Taste: This is going to be an absolute struggle. Sweetish, harsh flavor of corn, rubbing alcohol, diesel, and the tears of sentient apples. The burn and palate grating mix of crude flavors only increases; unyielding until well beyond the perceived finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Well, that was definitely horrendous. Why is it the worst beers come in such obscenely large doses?

corn sugar, alcohol, nail polish remover—especially bad when the glass is fairly empty and the nose gets intense. basic urine color with white head that doesn’t last that long. a little fizzy on tongue but kinda flat. tastes sugary with a little boones farm apple.

This is simply horrid. Lots of alcohol, like the rubbing kind right off the bat, flavor and aroma. Some strange rotten fruitiness. Like corn in a can.

i’ve now completed the Camo trifecta. tThis is the worst of the Camo lineup. pours a pale gold color with a small white head. aroma is just terrible. Ugh! Bad bad bad. Flavor is difficult to stomach. makes me gag, in fact. the other Camo beers were not that bad, but this one is just aweful. i’m having trouble keeping this down. Ouch.

Pours a fizzy crisp golden yellow. Aromas of corn, minor hopping, and not much else. Flavor is bland american lager with almost no hops.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2005 I used to live in Eastern Iowa, and I’d regularly travel through Cedar Rapids. One thing Cedar Rapids is known for is the large Quaker Oats plant in the midst of town, and one unfortunate side effect of this plant is a regular odor of sweet, sickly corn as corn syrup is molded into various forms of cereal. Depending on the direction of the wind, random parts of Cedar Rapids can be inundated with a stench of corn in the final throes of processing. Why do I mention this? Because the best way to describe the scent of this beer is if you were standing downwind when the Quaker Oats plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were suddenly and unexpectedly assaulted with a large quantity of napalm, sickly corn odor dying under a burning rain of chemicals. Add in the moldy, sticky head, the sweet corn and rubbing alcohol in the flavor, and the viscous and replusive palate, and there isn’t a drunkedness need on the planet worthy of this one. Pale yellow with a sticky, moldy white head. Nose smells like burning rubber and rotting corn.

This horrid beer was brewed by Satan himself. Marginally more tolerable than their lager, which still says nothing at all for it.

Yellow WIth Some Head. Carbonated...Upon Close Proximity to Open Can, Realized My Ultimate Folly. Worst of the Three Camo’s... Just Plain Revolting...Horrible Ingredients Make This a Super Duper College Beer...1.84 Baby!

It says Special Reserve on the can, but if I thought what the non-Special Reserve stuff tastes like, I would probably have a brain aneurysm.

It’s malt liquor. Another cheap "cooking beer" that I have turned to. Not too putrid of a taste, sweet and smooth with only a little gagging. I think this stuff retails for about $1 for a 24 oz can.
