I dedicatedly rate high-quality beers for two years and somehow this is what comes up for my #1000 rating. I have Frankenkitty to thank for that dubious distinction.<BRBR><BRBR>Fluorescent pour, looking like radioactive hospital waste. Maybe that’s why they keep the bottle in the bag? The sample was cold, which thankfully cut down on any strong or objectionable odors. Some very promising mineral spirits fumes are noticable, however. I aggresively pour a sample into the recommended glassware for the style and watch a fairly volitile carbonation generate a substantial white foamy head which collapses just as quickly into a mildly polluted oily slick. Again some paint thinner fumes, but not terribly offensive. The first taste does not, surprisingly, trigger a much anticipated gag reflex. Main initial flavors are corn and other adjuncts, some of which might very well be inorganic. Some alcohol burn on the throat. Not as terrible as I feared. The hell with the glass, gimme that bottle! I grab it away from my buddy. A big deep swig, then another even bigger this time...I’m getting into this! And as I pass it back to Frankenkitty, I can actually see some of my oily backwash slide back down inside the bottle neck and mix with the rest of the "likka". Enjoy the male bonding, my fellow Bowery Boy, it don’t get much better than this! I’m actually feeling a rap coming on...

I know I’m white...but that ain’t my fault, I still love to suck on that "fody" of malt. Shut the f*ck up and you might stay alive, or I’ll bus’ a cap in your ass from my Colt 45. This here is word up to that honky, Slim Shady, "YO, I just slipped sumthin’ phat into your old lady!" I’ve heard y’aller down with the OPP, but you don’t know sh*t ’bout the LoSBD! So when you see this Powermaster drinkin’ Midnight dragon, Nighthawk, or the Panther...Show some respect, muthaf*cker, rudeness is never the answer!

Thank god the race to 1000 is over...my liver couldn’t take much more of that! And we can finally dispense with that lame Frankenkitty vs. RAYBOY01 in-rating "Flame War" juvenile bullshit! What a waste of time...and not even all that funny, either!

Hey Joe, last one to #2000 is a slightly overweight pusillanimous dilettante with silly facial hair!!!

Pours a clear light golden brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of bread dough and golden grain malt with a touch of creamed corn. Taste is sweet, more creamed corn and a touch of grain alcohol. Finish is slightly metallic, semi-sweet with more creamed corn aftertaste. No offensive but still not a craft beer but a few cans of this will knock you silly.

Wow, this is about as low as you can get without looking for expired cough syrup at the dollar store. It seems enough like a cheap macro-lager, but it is somehow worse… despite the draw that you may feel based upon its cultural significance. Try once, if you must; then avoid.

This is the beer you see homeless people walk out of the liquor store with. The cheapest and one of the worst there is to offer.

Can. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Light aroma with a little bit of sweetness and a little bit of corn. The flavor is light and rather inoffensive. A little bit of grain and a little bit of corny sweetness. Not awful.

40. Poured a clear, pale yellow color with a fizzy white head that quickly receded. Faint aroma of sweet corn and some dirty grassiness. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light cereal graininess leads into a lightly metallic, grassy bitterness that lingers into the finish. High carbonation and fizzy mouth feel. I think it’s one of the better malt liquors out there, and isn’t overly offensive in any area.

(bottle - 22 oz) Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is corn and grass. Flavor is much the same. Corn and dry grass at the beginning with a smooth and dry finish. Warm and fizzy.

I always preferred to shotgun a nice tall rather than endure the entire 40 ounces.
