Crisp corn muddled with a sticky syrup base, sharp alcohol under the surface. Ever so faint herbal (sage?) infusion and I think I imagined some graham cracker flavor. Definitely not the average sweet-as-honey-fux-you-up now malt liquor. Slightly bitter, tangy finish that betrayed no hint of the alcohol. The most wonderful ML ever and I will be your best friend if you are able to get me another bottle.

Poured dark golden in color with a small white quickly diminishing head. Chunkies everywhere floating around. Reminds me of that drink orbitz, but not quite that bad, and colorful. Aroma of sweet corn. Taste of corn meal, a bit yeasty, and a sweet malt base. Not as bad as I was expecting. Thanks Hopdog for sharing.

I had this one sitting in the back of the cellar just aching to be opened for a ’special’ occasion. Glad to share it for Eric’s #2,700. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized white head. Lots of suspended floaters. Aromas of yeast, lighter corn, and caramel. Hmmm, not that bad for a Malt Liquor. Tastes of caramel, corn, grains, and vanilla. The corn was there, but not as nasty as I find it in most malt liquors. I drank my whole glass of this one!

Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, toasted dough, vanilla, and corn. Taste of more toffee, caramel, and corn, bit the alcohol was well hidden, and the usual nasty, metallic, corniness was not present... as it usually it is malt liquors.

Thanks to hopdog for this one...last rating 7/16/06 we are bringing this one back from the dead! Pours a hazy golden orange with a bunch of small floaties and a medium creamy bubbly lightly lacing head. Aroma of caramel corn, alcohol, vanilla notes, touch of citrus, floral notes...for a malt liquor that is over two years old not horrible. Flavor was on the lighter side, some citrus, grainy notes, hints of corn, kind of dry and probably the best Malt Liquor I have ever had.

Bottle: Had a malt aroma for the most part along with some bitterness. Cloudy orange body with white head that went flat. Had a citrus lemon bitterness to the flavor. Different than othe malt liquers this one was almost like a pilsner. Smooth and refreshing at leat after a 3hr flight.
