Appearance is an odd, almost dayglo-bright yellow/gold. Dumpy, overripe vegetable aroma gives way to synthetic-seeming heavy sweetness, like cheap Hallowe’en candy. Lots of sweet alcohol in the flavour, augmented by a lovely dose of cabbage. Fortunately no aftertaste.

My buddy and my brother bought this crappy excuse for an alcoholic beverage. It’s sweet and fucking greasy...even OE is better. Too bad I forgot to pour some on the ground for the homies that left us.

40oz Bottle in classy paper bag, Billy Dee is even on the body, crossing my fingers I win a chance to meet him under the cap! Aroma from bottle is alcohol and grain. Taste is same, has the malty sweetness I love, cheers to Malt Liquor Monday!

Received from a friend who visited Halifax. 40oz. Widemouth. Uninspiring label. I’m a person who loves malt liquor and I find Colt 45 absolutely foul. I distinctly remember having this in West Windsor when I was 18 and getting made fun of for finding it so gross. Olde English is 1000 yards better than this swill. Bleck.

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.

24 ounce can, but says 8.5%. Pours a clear golden yellow. Taste is of corn, grain, fruit, alcohol, some hops and some malt. Similar, light aroma. Watery. Not bad considering it cost about a $1.20.

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.

Finally forced myself to get a bottle. Smells like vomit, pretty revolting aroma. Not appealing at all. Clear golden colour, thin white lace. Strong alcoholic notes, honey maybe somewhere in this. Nasty, nasty taste of petrol. Weird beer. Very weird. Not nice at all. Poured it down the sink.

When I was younger we would drink these in the park. even back then I knew it was shit, although I prefferd it to the Old English. 4 canadian dollars for a 40ounce bottle and a decent buzz. Never poured one in a glass.

It was definitely the eight percent, though my memory’s foggy after actually drinking it. Very piss-poor yellow look, very sweet flavour profile, but those forty-ounce plastic bottles sure help you get wasted very quick. Yet I can’t help but think there are better ways to get very drunk very fast. This is the only reason you’d want this beverage.

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.
