473mL can from the Lcbo. I drank this with the appropriate brown paper bag in the rainy gutter behind the LC. There were some emo kids back there who concluded that I was ’random’, but I didn’t know what that meant to them so I ignored it. I suppose it’s just nice to be considered something at all. From what I could tell I was in for something especially soul-sucking. Smelled like rotten corn with greasy apples and alcohol. Nice. Tasted like vodka added to the left over water from boiled corn. Nice. As I sat waiting for the freight to pass by, I realized I could fit a six-pack of these right through the gigantic hole in me that used to be my life. There’s just something so tragically depressing about drinking malt liquor on a dreary Sunday afternoon.

24 oz can. Tasted as a part of an 18 beer Malt Liquor blind tasting. Pours a clear pale yellow with a nice foamy white head that left some decent lacing. Fairly clean nose, maybe some light hops if you really dig, and very little corn. The flavor is pretty crisp, very short but relatively clean finish. Mostly corn and rice, but it’s really rather pleasant. Thin and fizzy body. This was actually a passable effort at creating a beer. I would even drink this again. Probably the second best Malt Liquor of the 18 I tried behind only Rogue Dad’s Little Helper.

When I first poured this into a glass, it really looked sickly to me, downright disturbing: a slightly green pale yellow color... upon pouring more into it, it got to a more bright yellow. Looks like a pale lager, but it’s 7.1 ABV... Tastes like a big-label pale lager, too: corn, metal, a bit of skunk. Mostly corn.

Strange smell that I just can’t place. Pours a piss colored yellow with a *BRIGHT* white marshmallow head that just won’t die because it’s artificial. Very low carbonation. Taste like watered down cough syrup. No alcohol burn, though. This does not taste like a 7.1 percenter. Not a bad alcohol delivery system at all. I paid $1.99 for a 24 ounce can at some store in Illinois, BUT........I saw the same can of this at a gas station in F.I.B. land for only $1.29.

One of the few ice beer’s that don’t hurt my head and stumich as i drink,so most ice beer’s I can not drink cus they make me feel horrible b4 done. Millwuakee’s best ice hurt as i drank it horrid shit. ice bock’s are worst. This is an awsome ice beer but the 40 went up in price so I don’t drink it much anymore but it’s totally kick ass. 7.1% the regular labatt ice version is canadian as well but somehow found easier in the stae’s but dunno why. Max Ice kick’s ass. Why did they raise the price up a little? Fuck that I want it more NOT less.

A low carbonated beverage with a high alcohol burn. Nothing pleasant about this one, very hard to choke down.

Picked up a 2x4 can from the local grocery store. Pours very, very, clear yellow lots of carbonation and a modest white head. Aroma flows out as you pour with concentrated notes of corn and grain. Flavor is all a lot of grain with a sweet corny middle and slightly apple fruitiness at the finish. This brew is still malt liquor in that it kinda takes your breath away with the strong malt and harsh alcohol note. Overall this malt isn’t too bad but definitely something I wouldn’t drink on occasion unless I truly wanted to get drunk or play "Edward 40 Hands".

Ugh...i’d rather have steel reserve. At least with that you get drunk quicker and so the flavor ends faster.
