24oz can of 11% er uh, whatever this is. It has a crystal clear gold body and a weak thin white head. The aroma has loads of sugary sweet ripe green apples and over ripe pears and honey covered cantaloupe. I’m not getting too much messy chemical booze aroma, maybe the intense sweetness has swamped it out. The taste is thick slick wow, this stuff is sweet! I get a mound of table sugar, ripe honeydew melon, over ripe green apple and a honey covered pear note. Surprisingly this is not a big boozy mess but just crazy slick sweetness.

Biebers drinks this shit I guess. Or at least he sends me pictures of stacks of this beauty. Pours malt liquor colored out of a can. Smells and tastes like malt liquor. Tons of tootsie rolls and grape drink in this. Stressed yeast. Westy 12. Fuck.

King can from XMas grab bag gift poured into pint glass. golden-yellow color with little head that dissappears quickly. Small amount of cereal grain,grape,sweet fruit aromas coming thru. Quite sweet on the tongue with a sticky malty,grape flavor that I found ok,quite drinkable. Alcohol burn noticed after a few swigs. Was pleasantly surpised to find that I enjoyed it. Don’t think I’ll ever buy it,but will drink it if offered.

Pours a clear golden yellow. Big head, really- about 2.5 fingers. Retention is really impressive, too. It reduced to a ring over time, but it still looks good. Fluffy. Nice lacing. Uncharacteristic for the style, and certainly for the ABV. When I first poured it, all I could get was cornmeal, wet slate, and fusel alcohol, but as it warmed up- okay, this is weird, but I got a lot of really nice grape/raisin notes and some nuttiness, too. Still with corniness, but pleasant. Impressive. Woah! Okay- super sweet and a little spicy. A little bite to it, but not so unpleasant. The alcohol doesn’t actually make a nuisance of itself. Kind of peanutty and grapey... White raisins... Corn as well, but like in the nose, not so unpleasant or out of control. It almost tastes like an abt. A good one. Quelle bizarre. Extremely smooth for what it is and how high the abv is. Light carbonation. Medium-full body. Very drinkable, unqualified with any sort of "*for an 11% malt liquor" footnotes. This just drinks well. This was really impressive and I’m hoping to find it again some day. A year and some change must have done it a world of good, looking at these other reviews, because this isn’t bad at all, I’d say.

24oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with absolutely no head. Aroma of corn, grains and some sour apple. Taste is heavily sweet. Sugar water with corn and some green apple. Medium bodied with a somewhat thick texture. Soft carbonation and an entirely too long of a finish. Overall, I’ve had worse, but not by much.

Simply put, Axe Head is an affordable, sweet tasting malt liquor from our friends at Minhas brewing. It has a mellow, fruity flavor with a hint of alcohol in the mix. 11% ABV guarantees a great buzz and you always get your money’s worth! I always drink this from the can, since 40 ounce bottles of it are not available in my area. Tastes like a pricey brew without the hefty price!

Big ass can - from tulip. Berry and old grass clippings aroma. Golden yellow with moderate but short lasting head. Cloyingly sweet corn syrup flavor - think there is some fusels in the finish but can’t bring myself to take more than a sip. Would probably drink hand sanitizer prior to this again - I can’t believe a malt liquor from Minhas isn’t better.

Can. Fusel berry aroma. Clear golden with a small white head. Super sweet corn syrup flavor. Can we just pour rubbing alcohol into a bottle of corn syrup?

24 oz. can from freezer. Pours a clear pale yellow with no head at all. A vigorous stir produces some large white bubbles that go away just as quickly. Nose is almost nonexistent: just some faint corn and esters. As it warms, some mustiness comes to the fore, maybe some bubble gum as well. Taste is artificially sweet, slightly tart, not bitter at all. Palate is syrupy yet not incredibly heavy, fairly actively carbonated yet dull somehow, with a tart candy corn weird alcoholic finish. I think the real question here for anyone is: can you slam this before it warms up? And what if you were trying the 40 oz. version? Goddamn...fermented corn syrup...and my first malt liquor tick. Makes me miss Mickey’s.

BARNYARD is the best way to describe the taste and aroma of this beer... nough said
