Brewed by City Brewery (Melanie Brewing Co)
Style: Malt Liquor

It is regrettable that we cannot give zero ratings. I hate to even see a .5 rating from me for this swill. It looked like a urine specimen and didn’t smell much better. Was this brewed in a backyard septic tank? My otherwise reliable beer man, Phil, provided this as a joke item. It certainly is a joke. A few of us beer club members sampled it and most felt that this is a truly offensive can of putrid slime. At least Cave Creek Chili Beer has a chili pepper to eat to kill the taste of the shitty beer. This offered no such relief. 9% ABV wasted. This was simply vile stuff.

Smell, not aroma, smell of corn syrup and...something else, something man-made, though. Some sort of byproduct, perhaps? Flavor is somewhat bitter and quite sweet with plenty of odd and vaguely repulsive vegetative sugars and harsh alcohols. As it warms, becomes definably vomitous in flavor, literally. Doesn’t even seem to fit the concept of the word "beer" as I know it. No easily identifiable ingredients, not ones that are pleasant to contemplate, anyway. Well-carbonated mouthfeel, soda-like, suspiciously thin in body for beer of this alcoholic strength. I was told by a clerk who really seemed to know his malt liquors that I wouldn’t be able to finish the whole 24oz. At the time, I scoffed at the suggestion, but I was simply displaying my ignorance of the truth of malt liquors of this caliber, because he was absolutely correct. I wanted a special beer for #1300. I sure got one.

I’m so super excited about getting my hands on this great brew. Smells pretty terrible. Like chemicals and corn. Maybe a little bleach as well. Tastes kind of like a sake, only worse. Pretty brutal. Thankfully I only have 24oz to drink.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cereal), with notes of DMS and alcohol. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation, moderately alcoholic. The silver medal for the Alcoholic Olympics?

can you imagine a malt liquor that laces a glass. drink ice cold,deadly.very strong corn ethenol flavour.available in 40 zzzz for your drinking pleasure.

Clear pale in color with a moderate head. Aromas of vegetables, fish, light grains and DMS. Flavor is fairly clean and it tastes like corn. Hints of paint thinner and gasoline as well. Gruesome.

The taste and smell are absolutely repugnant. If I wanted to work as hard as I did to drink this, I’d get a job.

Oh god. Yeah, you can drink this and it gets you drunk fast. Alcohol is well hidden I guess but it tastes like a cross between T-bird and cardboard. Watery, flavor-wise but still kinda sweet and gross. I had to take a break every now and again to finish my can.
