40oz clear glass screw cap bottle pours clear gold with near white head. The aroma really isn’t too bad as I get a mix of floral hops and sweet estery apple juice to heavy handed sweet honey. There’s also some vague hops and a firm level of booziness. The taste is remarkably similar This is really not so hate full. It is overly sweet but sadly I have had much much worse.

Man is this stuff brewed with sweet n low and corn? Artificial and overly sweet. Flat out awful. Man oh man. GET SOME.

Full name is "Lucky Number Seven 7 11 Eleven High Gravity Lager". Throw some sugar into some honey, then add some club soda, you will recreate this swill.

Big thanks to Cheapdark for this one! Pours golden with almost no head. The aroma is bready and corny with a little fusel crap and some citrus that sneaks in. The flavor is corny and fruity with a bit of alcohol and some distinct orange. Weird, but not entirely awful.

UPDATED: MAY 29, 2011 Lucky 7/11 S4LFTO: What do you think about the name of this beer; lucky number 7/11? Big 16 oz can, must be old; the latest ratings here are from a year ago. I’ve seen this before, but rarely, and finally I get a chance to taste this lucky beer. Date code 80512B3BR! This is cheap malt liquor at its apex. I am concerned before I rate because the last case of 16’s I bought from Melanie was that gag me Jaguar stuff. This cheapie is a little more alky at 8.2% and a little more expensive; 63 cents per 0.473 liter can. On the label it says it is slow brewed for a smooth flavor, heheheh. Also, it says it’s brewed by Drink Beer LLC; probably because the brewer wishes to limit its liability for brewing it. When poured into a big clear mug it is showing pale yellow lager with an eighth inch white head. Smell is sweet metallic processed olfactory. Woooo-wheeeee.... first taste is almost like gas laced 85 ethanol. I know what it tastes like because I siphon sometimes to fill the lawn mower. I’m almost alarmed when my pal strikes his lighter to light a cigarette or candle around this stuff. Yes a very alky brew that retorts its alky while spitting in yer face. Tho quite offensive on the swig, I find it to be less aggravating than many imp stouts and DIPA on the slug. It comes across with a dry holdem grain alky personality. Well, this is the first can, so I got a few to go. Gets difficult as it warms, keep er cool! Finish is stripped of any hop or malt, its just high alky rude beer. I think I’m catching a buzz near the bottom of the glass. I do detect quite a bit of that Melanie brew insolence in there, the same feeling I get from any of their beers. It is the repulsive gack in many of their recipes. This so called lucky beer material (not really beery) gets easier as you become a little more intoxicated.

From a 24 oz. can purchased at Woodman’s in Madison, WI. Dark gold body with a whispy white head. The aroma is cake donuts with some carrots. Overall, the aroma is fairly weak. The taste is very sweet like watered down apple juice with some abc gum. There is also a little bit of nasty cheap cherry juice, but it is not a good thing, it’s like something jsut lurking in the background ready to make you gag. This is pretty bad.

nasty beer its like drinking 10 year old gasoline has the sent of rotting garbage did this come from a dumpster or a beer depot ?

This is one of the worst things a man can buy. I gave it a 2 for Appearance because it was in the can and I couldn’t see it. Why would someone do this to themself?

Yellow color with big head. Smell of malt, hops, grain, minor fruit and copper. Taste of copper, mallt, honey, hops, alcohol and a dry bitterness. Cheap beer if you want to get drunk fast.
