dlihcsnatas (50), Texas, USA May 13, 2008 With the dark gold color and the malty flavor it’s not bad for a low cost brew. Better than most on the budget side of the isle and has a nice kick to go with it. Purchased a 40 oz just to try it and I have to say for an everyday budget brew this is not bad at all and I will be purchasing it again. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA May 11, 2008 Date: 02/10/2008

JPDIPSO (4865), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA May 7, 2008 Reminder to self, AB product check born on date. To late - 25APR07. Lightly hazed dark straw color with a tall. popcorn colored head. Sweet nose, with grapes, corn silage, grass and beets. I’m reminded of cole slaw. Rice flavors abound, not strong, but certainly there. A light beer and light sake mix come to mind. Some old fashioned glue paste also come to mind. Some mild wood flavors in the finish, perhaps balsa. Not much here, but what is here is not that good. repsADL (1), Texas, USA does not count May 3, 2008 when you first crack it open an take your first drink it is way more harsh than other strong ales.Bitter on the palate, alcoholish after taste. at only $1.09, most of the local drunks swear by this beer, so if you are looking to catch a decent buzz and are low on funds then get 4 or 5 of these bad boys and your night is set. anthlovesbeer (67), north grafton, Massachusetts, USA Apr 26, 2008 A surprisingly smooth taste. I expected it to be a lot harsher than it actually is. Very active carbonation. Not bad at all. adboyd (8), USA does not count Apr 19, 2008 First of all, this beer is terrible. That said, if you are looking for a terrible tasting beer with relatively high alcohol content and a low price, this is perfect! My buddies and I actually like having these as our first-beer on a big night out because they taste so terrible, you have no choice but to suck it down fast. mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Apr 17, 2008 Crapolla continues...aromas of wet grass and light alcohol. flavor is water into a metallicness. This is just bad stuff. CheersMate1 (770), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Apr 17, 2008 Copper/orange color. Looks decent. The head is actually decent as well. This is not a horrible looking beer. This is a very pungent beer. Smells of alcohol, and well that is pretty much it. A little grassy aroma. The taste? OH MAN! This is a little rank. Very watered down taste at first, and then the aftertaste is just bad. The beer has a funky kick to it. There is not much to say other than if you want to get extremely drunk for 5$, get rocked like a hurricane.
