Rude and crude, but if you are looking for a good high buzz to cost ratio, this is it. Cheapest at my distributor for $8.50 for 24 12 oz cans. As with any other Melanie brew, this stuff is hard to swallow, metallic and processed. Gulp to avoid gag reflex.

Jul 12, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a full, foamy, white head.
Smell: Sugary, floral aroma with a dash of Science (chemical note)!
Taste: Sugary and floral, just as the aroma was. Brothy maltiness. Medium-low hop bitterness. Thankfully, it’s not overly fusel, which makes it relatively mild in the Melanie Brewing’s lineup of manufactured horrors. Metallic tin-like hint on the all too gacky finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: No thanks. Sure, some of these malt liquors can be surprisingly tolerable, though most end up in a zone between unrewarding and rage-inducing. This one’s in that latter slot.

May 13, 2008 Unclemattie is like my drug dealer except he hooks me up with malt liquor. Wicked props dawg! Poured into a small sniffer glass. Didnt leave much lacing but it would on the pavement. The aroma contains too much fuselage with some corn and piss. So far not good. The flavor is also rather harsh with corn and an alcohol burn present. This is a rough customer. Get Four O instead!

May 10, 2008 24oz can: At first I thought this was brewed by Dark Horse from Michigan, but alas I found out it was from City or GJS Sales, Inc. Clear deep golden color with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet pale malts and corn with some light fruits and fusels, but overall pretty unoffensive. I guess it’s not that bad.

May 10, 2008 Updated: May 13, 200824oz can. Sweet looking 70s Custom Van airbrushed horse with lightning bolts. Pours clear golden color, with a white foamy white head. Aroma of band-aids and corn. Flavor is quite lacking from the ICE lagering. Light bodied with a crisp dry finish. maybe add some grenadine to this jewel... WORD! My 1000th American Beer rating!!!
