I scored this fine beer in tulsa oklahoma. It is not good, in fact it is very terrible. Tons of corn and sugar dominate this shitfest. Ive had regular side pocket and it wasnt all that bad, but this stuff is brutal, good to know i have 5 more left from the sixer.

40 ounce bottle, but says 8.5% abv. Pours a gold color with a decent white head that slowly fades. Taste and aroma are rather sweet and of corn, fruit and malt. The alcohol is hidden rather well. Kind of reminds me of how a wine cooler tastes. Easy to drink, unoffensive tasting and for the price, about a $1.50, it is a decent brew that exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I could see buying this again.

For a malt liquor this is a pretty classy brew, but only for a malt liquor. Gotta love the name too.

Aroma is straight up piss. The flavor is pretty odd and sweet but also some alcohol going on. This was not pleasent at all. Pale yellow collor of course. Heemer warned me about the suck and he was right. Still props bro!

From a 40 oz. bottle, purchased near the source, at Woodman’s in Onalaska. Fairly dark gold body in the bottle. I don’t think I will violate an innocent glass with this stuff. The aroma is nasty, massive rotting tomatoes and old corn cobs. This has cream corn and a very sweet sugary finish. There is also a nice note of gasoline. I have to borrow a term from iceman, this stuff is absolutely brutal.
