probably the best malt liquor i have had so far, which doesn’t necesarilly mean much, but true nonetheless. decent scent of hops and malt. taste is of mild hops with yeast, and malt and some citrus. dispite what i said earlier, if i’m going to purchase a malt liquor, it will be one that costs $1.50 for a 40oz, not one that costs $5.

THOUGHTS: I’ve had a lot of malt liquor in my day and this wasn’t much different, but it’s just a step or two better. Sort of in the same way that a DIPA is not all that much different from an IPA, but is usually way better. Hid alcohol well. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured clear, medium yellow (almost gold really) with nice carbonation and a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was moderate caramel malt, light grass hops and corn. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderate to heavily sweet, light to moderately acidic, lightly bitter and a little sour with an average duration. There was mostly caramel malt then a little grassy hops. The light to medium body was a little syrupy then dry with fairly soft carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.

Clear straw yellow pour. A bit fruit and lots of malt on the nose. Very innocuous flavorless beer. Very sweet with a corn syrup like flavor. Some fruitiness. Drinkable, but not much going on here.

golden body, large head..aroma of sugar, grain, and alcohol..much sweeter than expected...ditto on the flavor..slightly like a pils but with a stronger alcohol finish..

Mildly sweet aroma. Dull gold with a slight red tint. Taste is lite but definitely has that malt liquor burn in your throat. This was much better than I thought it would be. However after all is said and done it is one expensive malt liquor.

Gold pour with a grain aroma and medium sized head. Had a corn and a barley noticable hop finish. EHHH I dunno.

Assuming this would not be a grand beer, I still felt compelled to grab a bottle of this malt likka. Sparkling yellow pour with a decent sized white head and sticky lacing. Smells of sugary sweet pale malt and light adjuncts. Creamy for a lager, and overly sweet with a hint of high octane alcohol. Flavor is grainy and fairly sweet. Adjunct power along with a grassy/spicy hop characteristic. In the end it’s still a malt liquor, worth trying once.

I say if you are going to brew a malt liquor, you sleaze it all the way to the end. This is kind of more like a strong ale really. Sweetish and has a lingering alcohol finish. It doesn’t have that gasoline taste that a true bottom feeding malt liquor would have.
