4/26/13. 24oz can I found randomly in Tallahassee. Stoked to stumble upon this rar 8% loon. This tastes like complete garbage, just like the 10% version, but less strong, so what’s the point?

Pours a very pale straw color. Zero head. Smells of little but alcohol fumes. Taste is alcohol. vegetable, chemical with a sweet finish that has a hint of banana. Highly unpleasant.

Got a can just because it stood out from the rest around it. Wasn’t expecting much and that is what I got. Smells of straw, almost like freshly cut grass. Tastes of straw and aluminum. But this is what it is, high gravity get drunk quick cheap beer. Still it is an interesting can that will go in my collection even though I never plan to drink another one.

Canned @ home, courtesy of blackipa. Fucken a bro, bro. Pours a clear golden appearance with a somewhat foamy, off white head. Slight green apple, a bit citrusy, bubbly carbonated, light grape aroma. Soft mouth feel. Sweet grape jolly rancher, a bit bready, corn flavor. A fine malt liquor and solid swill. Drinks pretty damn good.

Can. Pours a clear gold body with a fizzy white head that actually had pretty nice retention due to the vigorous carbonation. The aroma is the usual Malt Liquor corn syrup and vegetal mixture that one can expect. The flavor is about on par with the aroma, lots and lots of corn with some cooked vegetable and a minimal shot of alcohol on the finish. Medium bodied with a sticky and clingy finish. Lots of fizzy carbonation that seems to accent the corn syrup flavor somehow. Pretty gruesome even at a buck fiddy

Thanks, Shawn! Pours a clear golden color with a white head. The nose is kind of bland and watery. Sweet grain and sugar is certainly there, though. A bit of corn, grape, and banana as it sits in the glass for a little while. The flavor is sweet and surprisingly fruity. Banana, grape, and apple notes. Plenty of sugar, some corn, and a general graininess. Surprisingly not bad.

Pretty rough stuff. As others have noted, ridden with vegetal notes. Something of cooked peas, buttered corn. Also a savory component, really strange and unlike anything I’ve ever had in a beer. I’ve never ever compared beer to urine in any review I’ve ever written, it is a cliche, but for the first time I’m tempted here.

24 oz can poured into pint mug. Clear golden orange color with moderate white head and slight lacing. Smells of old vegetables, grains, and alcohol. Aroma is pretty much the same. Taste reminds me why little kids eschew leftover vegetables or expired V8 juice (Of all the malt liquors I’ve tried, this is the closest to my only drain pour: Budweiser Clamato). Body is thin without much carbonation. Taste is slightly salty and not sweet at all. It’s cheap and 8%. There are many worse ones in this style, but I won’t try this again unless, as W.C Fields said, "It’s a gift." W.C. Fields also eschewed water, "due to all the disgusting things fish do in it", so I’m not sure if he would enjoy this watery albeit alcoholic one.

24 oz can pours yellow with a white head. That is the best I can say, just tastes like alcohol. That's it, the only thing about this beer is the cost. I poured it out. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

24oz can thanks to BlackIPA! Served in Tired Hands stemware. Pours a clear golden, deeper. Medium, white foam with weak retention and webby lace. Nose is salted tomato, white grape juice, some bizarre esters I’m assuming are common in this rare style. Vegetal certainly. Taste is buttery, papery, lots of red apples. Not really boozy. Decent taste. Nose is awful. V8 juice perhaps. Aftertaste pretty ripe, harsh. Difficult to enjoy especially in this quantity. After just a few sips I’m feeling nauseous and my stomach is churning. I feel seasick. Fiancé rating :2.3
