1.81L bottle. Clear gold, surprisingly large head, but carbonation is not very active. Aroma of apple butter, little bit of corn, not particularly strong. Taste is terrible, pure alcohol and mouthwash, disgustingly sweet. Burns of alcohol, but surprisingly light body. Overall, corn syrup fermented under a radiator. Awful. Avoid unless you are getting hammered under an overpass.

Richmond 19th. I’m ashamed to have subjected my compadres to this abomination. But also rather proud for having discovered something uniquely hideous. Very pale gold. Smells like corn. Tastes god awful. Sweet and adjunct laden horribleness. Truly one of the worst beers I have ever experienced.

Sampled at the Richmond Gathering 19. Clear light golden pour with ring of white head. I’m generally a fan of malt liquor, but this is atrocious. horrendous amount of sweet creamed corn and gasoline blended together and drank out of a rubber tire. Still not a drainpour cause i’m trying to a little buzz on, but damn.... how can they sell this to the unsuspecting public???

19th RG. Hazy light golden. No head. Smells like cereal and corn. Tastes watery and sweet. Sweet finish.

New plastic smell. Golden, medium head. Hot, but not too bad for 10+%. Rotten grapes is dominant. Actually has character.

From the can poured a cloudy yellow brew with a light white head. Faint aromas of malt and honey and ethenol. Light bodied with flavors of honey and hops.

950 mL bottle courtesy of Kinz. Thanks! Pours a clear golden color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of not much... dusty corn. Maybe some grassiness. The taste is green apples, pear, grain, grassy hops. Boozy. Thin. It’s a malt liquor, I guess. Both less harsh and harsher than a typical malt liquor. Almost a liter at 10.1%, those French Canadian kids don’t mess around.

Kept right in the bottle. Grape drank, dough, alcoholic finish. Nice. Wish I could get this on the regular. Krunked.

And with this, I say goodbye to my stash of Quebec Buzzed Quick Bottles. Sad. Like the others, I’m a huge fan of the Labatt dry version of malt liquor. Boozy, but not overpowering. Cotton candy, grape drank, malt, dough, alcohol, and a bit of earthy hoppiness. Slick finish, plenty of carbonation. Man oh man.

clear yellow colour, minimal head. has a very similar profile as the 8.1 but a slightly more floral note. More bitter profile and slightly more heat.
