illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA Jan 26, 2008 My housemate bought me this because it was literally the cheapest beer per ounce at Safeway.
Appearance is like post-asparagus urine. A slimy white froth sits atop the column of liquid.
Doesn’t smell really like anything, maybe a bit mealy and corn syrupy.
Taste is pretty clean but still unappealing. Standard malt liquor corn sweetness with no hops whatsoever. Towards the end it degrades into basically sugary spritzer water.
Mouthfeel is too carbonated, paper thin, dirty.
This gave me a headache. Even for novelty’s sake I won’t be drinking this again. Wulfstan (509), California, USA Jan 14, 2008 This was a surprise, good tasting and very good-looking. It’s standard gold but with a medium, dense white head that shrinks very slowly to a smaller permanent head and it leaves beautiful, rich, long-lasting lacing in even rings down the glass. The aroma is the weak point: grain but with hints of alcohol & dry dog food (the stuff that smells all right, ot the nasty stuff), so that it’s not very good, but it’s ok and not off-putting. The taste is much better, a pleasant basic lager taste but with good sweet-bitter balance, decent fullness, a well-rounded grain and even light nut flavour and a light, crisp apple cider finish, all with a light alcoholic warmth. It is light but smooth, tasty, with persistent flavour and easy to drink while it looks beautiful. For the price, this is hard to beat. UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Jan 7, 2008 Yes, it will get you drunk. The thing is that it doesn’t taste THAT bad. It’s sweet. Very sweet.
My only serious problems is that it only tastes like sweet.
That and that the can/bottle design looks like I should be drinking it in a low class strip club, then picking it up on the way back to my trailer so that me and my buddies could get smashed watching somebody try to start their car.
It’s just not me. jdjuice (203), Japan Dec 24, 2007 40oz. Quite the king of malt liquors. Pretty gross to start off with, but if its cold its drinkable. As you get to the end of the 40, it starts to warm up and become quite disgusting, but hopefully you’re a bit drunk by that point and flavor isn’t an important aspect of drinking anymore. SavageElvis (134), Savage, Minnesota, USA Nov 9, 2007 Oh my god! I couldn’t believe they still made this stuff. Very clear, too sweet and bland tasting. It’s really gross. bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Sep 1, 2007 Qt. bottle. Light aroma of pale malt and alcohol. Brassy gold color with a decent white head that laced slightly. Thin body; moderate carbonation. The flavor is sweet malt, zero bitter. It is not sickenly alcoholic, not stirring nausea. May be one of the less obnoxious malt liquors. Hard for me to drink decades ago; no point for me to drink today. D.P. Not cause it’s all that bad, it’s just not worth the brain cell loss and calory gain. Prcaus (159), New Jersey, USA May 15, 2007 12 oz can & 40oz-how sad it is i still remember having this and felt it owned a place on my list... 10 years later. Looks cheap and is cheap. The simple can says it all... same watery malt taste, same ice cold nature brettpace (179), Northridge, California, USA Mar 23, 2007 God how awful can something be. Had this back in the day, ouch, low spot for miller, one of the worst beers on the market. Looks so generic and cheap, a truly awful amalglam of hops, malt and wahtever. Pabst/miller, whoever, yous hould be ashamed.
