jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 4, 2007 Bottle. This reminded me more of an strong golden ale than an Malt Liqour. PAle golden body with nice head. Flavor has a sweet malty character to it. Light hops and a low vegetable character to it. Better than I thought it would be. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 2, 2007 Pours out a light amber color with small white head. Big caramel aroma with hints of cider. Cidery taste that is very smooth. I am not a fan of malt liquoor, but this was nice to try and a hell of a lot better than the rotgut I used to drink when I was young. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Name: Dad’s Little Helper

Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Aug 30, 2007 Sampled from a 22-oz bomber at Cellar’s WIne & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a golden amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and some white ring. Aroma of mostly corn grits and sweet sugar. Very little hop character in scent. Taste is light to medium bodied with a corn bread flavor and a touch of sour apples. Finish is slightly dry with some corn and alcohol aftertaste. An interesting Malt Liquor. Better than the ones I had during my late teen years. JK (2945), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Aug 29, 2007 Aroma has sweet malt and corn. Yellow color. Some corn and other grain in the flavor. Unlike many of this style, this is actually drinkable. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Aug 29, 2007 Great name, but not great beer. Probably the worst of the Rogues. Mainly because, duh, the style. An ok Malt Liquor, I guess. More of a novelty brew than anything. badgerben (3584), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Aug 28, 2007 Yellow color with a medium head. Aroma of sour corn mash. That carries into the taste with an oddly strong wheat backbone. Sweet and tart alcohol finish. Not the worst malt liquor by a mile. radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Aug 24, 2007 Golden-amber in colour, fine off-white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, quite sweet, pale malts, some apples. The flavour is moderatly sweet, noticable alcohol, sugar covered apples, some corn. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering bitterness and some alcohol warmth. Not a great beer from Rogue but leave it to them to produce a Malt Liquor that I actually find drinkable.
