It does look good, clear golden color with a sudsy white head. After that, it falls apart. Smells like the men’s room from an old neighborhood bar. More corn than barley in the taste. My tongue burned slightly when I was done. I won’t comment on the other physical effects, all unpleasant.

Tasted relatively decent for a malt liquor. Not too disgustingly sweet and cleaner than most. I give it some respect for that.

40oz: I heard a lady ask for this by name. "Cokey, yo!" Yellow and grainy. Quite the alcohol fire burning in this one. Underlying notes of sugar and corn. Adjucty mess.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2003 Good Christ, I had to have funk travel all the way to Nebraska to obtain this beut. It really didn't taste that good, but It took damn near a half decade to get it so respect is given.

Looks ok, but smells of a yeast infection. Tastes like a standard forty pretty much, at least when it is relatively cold. Really, it is an ok forty with an unpronouncable name. I would drink this again I suppose.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2005 Acording to Philly’s own Schoolly D "Coqui 900 is a B-boy’s drink". Schoolly D wrote a song about Coqui 900, it’s on his 1988 ’Smoke Some Kill’ album. Seventeen years later I’m at the corner of 9th and Washington in the Philadelphia’s Italian Market and find a deli filled with hobos drinking tall boys, 40’s and 12 ounce bottles both inside and outside of the joint. I thought what could be better than a can of beer in a bag for the walk back to the car after having Laotian food. Low and behold the deli had 16 ounce cans of Coqui 900. $1.25 a tall boy (paper bag was free). Oily, bubble gum taste. Lots of corn in every sip. South Philly hobo beer. I’ll give "900" extra points for being Schoolly D’s favorite beer and the can saying it was brewed by G. Heilman La Crosse.

Tasted like a malt liquor made by Miller. Rye, thin, bubbly, corn, adjunct. Terrible.

Blah...not good at all.
