Hangover (764), Atlanta, USA Aug 18, 2007 Clear yellow pour with a trace of a white head. Corn and yeast aroma. Very sweet. High carbonation. Did I say sweet? Some maltiness towards the middle. Bit of alcohol on the back-end. Better than 8 ball, that’s for sure but not something I’ll likely buy again. screigh (253), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Aug 18, 2007 Looks and smells just like what it is. Small white head that went away quickly. Smells like corn and dirt. Slightly nasty bitter taste, not a good hop bitterness. Tastes sort metallic even though its not in a can. I think I would rather drink a Colt 45 at 1/6th the price. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Aug 15, 2007 Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Surprisingly not horrible - even drinkable. Highly carbonated with a light yellow color. Crisp clean nose with grainy hints. Sweet body with a lager like flavor and strong alcohol cutting through. Odeed (1666), Bakersfield, California, USA Aug 15, 2007 (this really should come in a 40)piss yellow with some white head that leaves no lacing or frontin’.aroma is of corn,sugar,rice,malts,and 22 inch rims on a 84 Buick regal.the flavor is down with the aroma.although i would add p-funk samples,babies mamas,set trippin’,and smokin’ chronic till the say i die!to bad a bunch of hippies made this. jhumphries69 (717), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Aug 12, 2007 Pours a clear gold with yellow highlights and a thin, white head (no lace). The aroma is very yeasty with decent amount of malts, too. The flavor is medium in balance - with a firm, golden malt presence. It also has other interesting artifacts (which happen to be hallmarks of this style): sugar, banana, hints of pear, and a touch of alcohol. The mouthfeel is quite full-bodied, but nicely carbonated to provide a pleasant texture. Overall, very nice - now I know what a premium "malt liquor" tastes like, and it is substantially more palatable than Old English 800 or its ilk. kindacold (5), Newport News, Virginia, USA does not count Aug 2, 2007 Not much to this beer. It was a very hot day when I tried it, so it was very refreshing and went down very easily. Otherwise, not much by way of flavor or mouthfeel. I’d get this beer for a post-lawnmowing refreshment, or maybe for a party, but it just didn’t do much for me. Better than a Bud, but not on par with other Rogue brews. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA Aug 1, 2007 Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is of sweet malt, grassiness, and a slight hint of some floral hops. Flavor starts off almost non-existant then the malts hit you pretty strong. Finishes somewhat sweet with a little alcohol warming but not much. Not good. TURDFERGUSON (1594), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Aug 1, 2007 On draught at Tyler’s in Carrboro. Pint Night, baby! Except, I left my glass there :( Oh well. This beer was much better than I expected. Yes, I was really craving a beer when I got this, but it really wasnt all that bad. Not as sweet and cloying as I expected. Would not have guessed this is malt liquor if served it blind. Pretty good, but nothing I’d pay more than 3 dollars for if I didnt get to keep the glass and leave it at the bar!
