From December 2010 tasting notes. On tap at brewpub. Sweet malt aroma. Straw colored with a small white head. Malt flavor with grassy hops in the finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
sampled at RBSG 2010 - Pours yellow and smells of grainy malt. The flavor is smooth sweet corn. It’s light bodied and it’s okay. Barely. I’m not sold on craft breweries bothering with this style.
1.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
On tap at the brewpub.
First off, what a mess! This is not very good. A medium gold that is totally clear with a light tan head, not much retention or lacing...Totally dead aroma, only the lightest hint of honey...The taste is god awful garbage, all alcohol and skunk, just grainy alcohol.
Avoid this, even if its in a sampler, even if you’re a ticker like me.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tap at brewpub. Barley malt and fusel alcohol aroma aroma with a hint of grass. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet barley malt flavor with bitter alcohol flavor. Okay but only a bit better than your typical cheap crap malt liquor.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Clear yellow, small white head. Aroma is corny alcohol. Taste is sweet corn with plastic and alcohol finish. Bang up imitation of a macro-malt liquor.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft sampler at FSRB. well, it mimics the character of commercial malt liquors very well, and that’s the drawback. Yellow color and fusel alcohol smell. I smell lots of corn sweetening, too. Yet, the taste is not timid about showing its alcohol, a patch over the usual canned rotgut. That alcohol at least warms me instead of burning. Helped out by a soda carbonation mouthfeel. At least I don’t feel like I’m developing a hangover already.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nose is sweet and corny, but clean and inoffensive with notes of grain, sweet bread, and light earthy hops. Pours golden with a creamy head and nice visible bubbles. THe flavor is sweet and grainy with a good deal of corn, some light fruitiness and a light bitterness in the finish. A solid malt liquor.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
sampled during a mug club tapping at the brewpub. served in a brown paper bag. lightly hazy yelloow, slim white head, somewhat lacy. mostly corn in the nose. flavor is corn, malt, with a trace of bitter hops. medium bodied, light, sweet finish. a great lawn mowin’ beer. i’ll drink it again.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled at the brewpub bar with a clear, golden hue, with bubbly silk to the head foam, and some good, curtainy lacing that broke up, but remained clingy as the liquid lowered. The aroma was very light, almost imperceptible, but with a little warmth, presented light alcohol and a little corn. The flavor was light grain, a hint of sweetness, subdued hop bitterness, and warming alcohol. Not bad, but I think that I was having some Colt-45 or Schlitz flashback, so I probably wouldn’t order it again.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours golden with a foamy white head. Aroma is of corn, alcohol, and straw. Smells less awful than a lot of other malt liquors. Taste is malty, with corn, straw, and honey. Slight alcohol flavor. Very nasty aftertaste lingers after each sip. Instead of being a really boozy and nasty malt liquor, it’s just sort of bland. I knew what I was getting into, and it’s not terrible.
