From a 22 oz bottle this poured a very clear color that reminded me of apple cider with a moderate head and mild lacing. Nose is malts with a tinge of hops. Mouthfeel decent and flavor is kind of like souped up Bud, but actually not bad for a malt liquor. It is not something I would drink regularly, but was surprisingly good.

Draft at Mad Mex in Robinson. Interesting malt liqour, pours a pale yellow with no lacing and quickly diminishing head. Tasted like a jagerbomb or mendalbomb, very sweet and alcoholic with not alot of carbonation.

Bomber. Aroma of sugar and malt - not sweet malt, sugar. Brassy gold color with a white head that’s not overly impressive. Thin to medium bodied. Nice level of carbonation. Unfortunately it has that sicky sweet characteristic of mass malt liquors. Gee, but it’s sweet. On balance there are some bitter notes. The sweetness is a bit reminiscent of a Belgian ale. There is grape, and perhaps honey, but the effect is not what one would hope for in an ale. It gets credit for making malt liquor drinkable. Seems a bit of a waste when the resources could have been used to make an ale!

Thin frothy white head of mixed size bubbles. Sweet aroma with brown sugar, cinnamon covered apples and corn. Medium gold in color. Sweet and fizzy in the mouth. Fruity flavor with a noticable alcohol presence. More spices and pears. Finish is warming and a little tart and dry. I am actually enjoying this brew quite a bit. Was not expecting the frutiy esters and flavors. Decent.

Bottle. Nose is mild sweet honey with hints of grapes. Clear dark golden with lively carbonation. Sweet honey-like flavor, smooth palate. Really enjoyable, especially as it warms. Surprisingly vinuous and flavorful.

Got it at Gomers of Kansas. This poured a very golden color with decent head for a malt liqour. Came out with a fruit forwardness ending with a maltiy sweetness. I was very surprised with this beer and actually enjoyed it. Not very complex though.

On tap at the mad Mexican in Robinson. As a father, I have plenty of respect for the name of this brew. There has undoubtedly much thought put into this brew and it is one of the most refined beers I’ve the chance of tastin’. Malt liquor is a vile kenard for this brew. Surprising aroma of apples and berries. Looks like the every day pale yellow american lager beer. Initial flavor is rather astonishing! Wine like, but not syrupy sweet, more like a quality aged wine. Very little detectable bitterness. No carbonation. Fruity yet not exceptionally sweet. At first this brew has an alky impact but that morphs into A more mild watered added wine finish. Hey, I think my taste buds are going numb! An interesting brew that makes me wonder if this is really a beer or not. As a lowly lager lover, this is just not quite the malt liquor style, I’m sorry. If you like wine, give this a try. I am very glad to have had the chance to taste this beer. The waitress was very friendly. She commented that many lager drinkers don’t care for this brew. I am ashamed to name the other malt liquors I’ve tried but let me tell you, this brew is in a class of it’s own and it is in no way associated or similar to those unmentionable unrefined brews. Over all the most enjoyable malt liquor I’ve ever tasted, but that is not saying much. No other malt liquor, that I have rated, has got over a 1.8.

On tap at Bryant-Lake Bowl, $6 the pint. Came to rest on my coaster without a head upon it, a muddy golden tone... Grainy nose...not much else... Slick, malty mouthfeel, corn syrup-y...starchy... ....lasts long on the palate, but not very unpleasant...can’t say much more for it, though, taste-wise...and then I hear a thunder in the distance...hoofprints in the hall...they’re coming, they’re coming... this is what happens anytime I try a malt liquor..don’t know the abv on this, but I can feel the alcoholic content advancing like the horsemen of the apocolypse...okay, so I exaggerate... Not bad a thing to do once in a while, but not a brew I can particularly enjoy...so it goes...
