Hurricane High Gravity Lager

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Malt Liquor
St. Louis, Missouri USA

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.

Healthy urine color, not much head. Aroma of alcohol, apple cider, only slightly toxic. a bit thin & fizzy in the mouth. flavors of apple cider, white sugar, newpaper.

Just getting this one out of the way. Poured piss yellow with white head. Aroma of corn. Corn and alcohol flavors. Absolutely terrible. If you want to get bombed then here you go!

Appearance: Glugs out a clear, orange-gold body with a thin, white head. Smell: Seriously, why do I continue to subject myself to these things? Aroma of toasted, microwaved corn-based cereal and floral-scented chemicals. Taste: Heated corn flavor with an odd sweetness. I’m not sure why I always refer to it as an "odd" sweetness, when the vast majority of these malt liquors has it. Let’s start saying "off-putting sweetness," whaddya say? A needed hint of hop bitterness almost shows up, but is taste-blocked by a wave of chemical flavor. Ah well. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Mercifully, it’s not as nauseatingly tongue-coating as most malt liquors. Drinkability: It’s just barely tolerable, I think that’s the nicest thing to be said of it. Paired well enough with a handful of salted pretzels.

Plenty of bang for your buck, but that’s pretty much all it has going for it.

24 oz can. Pours a dark golden color and has a decent white head. Aroma is of malts and the flavor is of corn and fruit. For having a high alcohol content, it is hidden fairly well and the beer goes down smooth. Overall, this is a pretty good beer when you consider it is around $1 for a 24 oz can and that it has an alcohol percentage of 8.1.
