$.75 can at the local gas station. No joke. Yellow pour, big white head. Aroma of corn and pennies. Tastes like $.74 worth of pennies. Big finish of more pennies. This one is @$13.99 worth of pennies. No.

Pours a golden color. Smell is of apples, some sweetness. Taste is apples, malts, for 11% abv the alcohol is well hidden. Overall one of the better beers I have had from this brewery.

Bottle. A - Extremely clear, light gold color. Very foamy, bubbly, light, medium sized, white head. Disappears pretty fast with no lace. S - Apple cider vinegar straight up. That’s pretty much it unfortunately. Maybe a touch of fresh tart apple as well. Overall very appley. T - Just like the nose, the flavor is dominated by apple cider vinegar. Some light cooked vegetable and malty flavor as well. Alcohol is very well hidden. M - So thin with a lot of carbonation. Very watery with a slight drying finish. D - I’m going to be honest, I’m only going to drink this to get drunk. I know that’s usually said about most malt liquors, but I think this about more than other malt liquors. It doesn’t taste horrible, but it is nowhere close to appealing. Notes: Well I paid 62 cents for a 24 oz can of this and overall it was probably worth that for what it is, a very cheap drunk drink. Pretty much a mix of apple cider and apple cider vinegar. Some maltiness on the taste. Very easy to drink fast and doesn’t taste like a high alcohol malt liquor. Final words... It is what it is and only expect that and you won’t be disappointed.

Can: Cider vinegar aroma, substantially rubbery. Clear yellow, medium white head. Much cleaner flavor of apples. Rubber returns in the finish. A bit cloying. Not very beery or strong, but one of the least offending beers I’ve had from City.

Can 24 OZ. Poured clear pale color with a medium to large frothy white head that mostly lastd with fair lacing. Light grainy malt and small hop aroma. Medium body with a thick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate sweet flavor with a moderate grainy sweet finish of short duration. Cold wet alcohol with some character.

24 oz. can - shared by riversideak; pours crystal clear light gold with thin, foamy bright white head; mild aromas of syrupy corn, lemon peels, pecans; light carbonation with thin texture and flavors of light corn, stale sugars; flavor profile is quite light compared to other malt liquors with none of the gassy phenols; results is a very drinkable beer, but quite flavorless at the same time

24oz can from malt liqour hookup, riversideak. Clear light golden with a tight small bit of white head. Pretty sweet looking can! Nose is corn, apple and a grape alcohol thing going on. Thin and watery with moderate carb. Corny and really quite artificial. Nothing overly offensive going on here.

24 oz can. thanks, riverside! pours crystal clear dark gold with a thin and short lived white head. big corny nose. fizzy medium body. corny, grassy, somewhat artichokey mid palate. mild finish.

Well nose is of corn. Creamed corn maybe and a little garbage and a light hint of body odor. Pale golden decent head retention. Corn bread, a stack of week old grass and sweet adjunct laden sugars. Medium carb, not much of a finish. Not as bad as the other two dudes rated it when rated to style.

From a twenty-four ounce can purchased at "New York Market", a ghetto grocery store in Cincinnati, Ohio -This one pours a fizzy, straw-colored brew with the aroma of tin, sweet corn, and spinach. Tastewise, it was mostly alcohol burn with a touch of rotting fruit. Not good.
