3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From the Can at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 24/09/2009
Malt aroma. White head. Golden coloured strong in alcohol and floral with a little dryness and bitterness in a crisp full malt finish.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Ginormous 1.18L clear bottle, bought as a joke while camping this weekend. Abysmal aroma of alcohol and sweet-rot stench. Sweet corn with a harsh petroleum-esque element and a hot isopropyl alcoholic burn to put the palate to death. Do not leave the bottle near the fire-- it may explode.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and not much else.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
24 oz can. Just what you would expect. but a little better. Aroma of grains. Sweet grainy flavor with some butter and corny finish. Could be worse. Cheap and gets the job done.
0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
By far worse than the 6% version, the aroma was awful and metallic. The taste was corn and cereal up front but the alcohol overwhelms it, not a good or fun beer to drink.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of corn, grain, alcohol. Flavor is alcohol, corn and grain also, slight hops present as it finishes dry.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Canned. Highly carbonated golden body topped with an average and diminishing white frothy head. Aroma is a bad and complex mix of CO2, corn, rotten malt, candy and dishwashing liquid. Taste is surprisingly thin for that kind of rocketfuel. Anyways, it is absolutely uninteresting. The aftertaste leaves a chemical burn feeling in the throat. Should be banned from the market or stored in the domestic products section of the grocery store. Of course, this joins the Drainpour list.

This bad boy was the final in a personal colt tasting I treated myself last week. Thanks to Joe for providing this so that I might come full circle. Pours a deeper orangey gold. Head is short lived and is a clear sign of the adjuncts used. Fruity aroma is unpleasant. Like rancid orange peels. Fuesels are here with creamed corn and stale malts. Oily, orangey nastiness with malty off flavours reminding me of what I would expect paper to taste like. It’s only 1% higher than the 7%, and far more offensive. Thanks Joe, but no thanks!
