Can. Pours...I donno, I chugged it out of the can. Aroma is terrible. Corn syrup with alcohol. So bad. With this rating I’ve finally passed toadman. He’s been rocked like a hurricane.

Pours pale yellow with a ton of artificial carbonation foam head. Smells like old bland leftover disgusting corn mash and corn syrup. Nauseating as soon as it hits the stomach. Tastes like corn malt leftovers (shavings that horses have peed in) and dirt? trash? Why? Why does AB do things like this? They couldn’t possibly be making any money off of it. The store shelves are chocked full of this saleable beer canned by-product. Finish is like alcohol. One of the 5 "beers" I’ve poured out.

This isn’t the worst malt liquor I’ve ever had, but I still think some of you are bonkers. 2.1 out of 5, KeithD? Really? I fear a beer you would rate lower than this my friend. Smells like really bad burnt sugar. Alcohol burn going down. Alcohol content is giving me heart palpitations. Very uncomfortable. I will concede that for an alcohol delivery system it’s as cheap as one may get: $1.99 for four 16 ounce cans. That’s the equivalent to almost 5 and a half regular cans of beer. But wait: it has over 60% more alcohol than regular beer. That means this shit packs the ethenol of almost 9 regular beers. Where are you going to get 9 beers for under 2 bucks? College students and street bums: REJOICE!!! Everyone else: AVOID IT!!

Light amber hue, with a white head. Aroma is alcohol sweetness, light maltiness. Taste is a light maltiness, very light caramel, and toast like aspect to it, barely can tell it’s 8%. Really not bad for a malt liquor.

From a trappist glass!!! Pours a very clear amberish yellow with 1 finger of foamy head. Aroma of malt, corn, grain and homeless guy asking for a dollar. Has a thin watery mouthfeel and lots of malt sweetness, but something aint quite right. Subtle flavors of rotting corn in the cob taken from a garbage can and open bottle of budweiser that’s been sitting on a counter for a week and is warm find their way down my throat and warm my soul. Too bad my soul won’t be able to cure the splitting headache that I will have tomorrow morning. Not bad for a buck, but if you have more do yourself a favor and don’t buy this beer.

Another ghetto juice with the alcohol content of wine, nearly. Nothing much else to say at this point, other than that it’s one of the better malt liquors I’ve had recently. Smooth, I guess one could say.

24oz can. Black, Mission Impossible design. Clear golden color, almost a thin amber. Aroma of an impressive American Pale Lager. Sweet malts, decent spicy hops. Flavor kinda plain. Watered down rendition of a great Anheuser-Busch.

Pours a pale amber with a one inch head. Lively carbonation. Aroma is not bad but nothing enticing. Flavor is corny winey with a little too much sweetness. Malt flavor is pretty good but hard to find any hop presence. I followed this brew with a Miller HiLife and it tasted like a micro by comparison. The alcohol (8.1%) is not that obvious in the flavor. It will catch up with you by the time it is finished. Not bad for a malt-liquor type product. This pour was from a 24 ounce can.
