Rating #1000. Poured from a 40oz clear glass bottle and enjoyed as a "Cincinnati" from a Mason Jar, while listening to free-form spoken word performance. Salty cornfield and cow intestine wafts from tangy pre-manure liquor. A bit of that waxy artificial glow from a pack of 1980s basketball cards. Heavy on the dioxin and mimeograph fluids. Dead Czechoslovakian hops lay in residual ruins, centrifuged to pulped plant matter. Mostly revolting. After topping off the mason jar with two-week old flat Canada Dry Club Soda, the beer froths heavy with a cigarette-wrapper white foam, lacing in cobwebs. Color is the pallor of filtered lemonade and 10pm drinking urine. Flavor comes on quietly and with sneaky intentions of loading the liver with fusels. Not as bad as I had envisioned. Boiled kernel corn, peanut husks, and cheap guava-flavored Guatemalan candy. Long dead hop oils coalesce in alcoholic form, reeking of bum sweat. Mostly undone. Unfinished DMS and fusel reek clogs up the olfactories in the way that only civil disobedience can. Detectable apple candy puckers the back end with flagrant sacrilege. Leaves a certain department store malaise about the mouth, with blows of detergent and cotton. Cat dander and phenol glow in the middle, creating a curt sense of being dismissed by a Korean masseuse. This is the kind of beer one would drink while sitting on a cement wall in suburban Des Moines, denigrating the sorry state of human affairs and tossing insults at passersby en route to the local Starbucks. Little is done to bring about a cyclonic atmosphere, except to induce an inebriating spinning sensation. With this you’re right out there, wide open, with all the derelict sense of disapproving cultural ambiguity necessary to appreciate your bourgeois intentions.

WORST. BEER. EVER. I’m not going to lie, sometimes I like to re-live my teenage years and drink a 40, but I can’t finish a 40 of this crap without vomiting. Aroma/taste of piss and vomit. This is pure unadulterated rotgut.

The beer was sampled from a 40 ounce container with a twist off top. It was sampled from a paper bag so the po-po don’t think I’m ridin dirty. A dark yellow to almost golden apperance with a moderate whispy white head. It left a nice lace on the pavement as I poured some out for Lo-Dogg. The beer had some corn notes, some fuselage, and also a mild bubblegum character. The finish was a little harsh and slightly sweet. This was rather smooth for a malt liquor. Watch out though G, this shit will wreck yo dome in a hurry. That dogg on the can means bidness. Hold it down, aight?

I’ll never trash a beer as long as I live, no matter how nasty is really is. Since St. Ides is not a beer, I would like to take this opportunity to completely annihilate the rating of "The Crooked I". I don’t drink forties that often these days, but I do know a good forty from a bad forty. The aroma varies ony slightly from that of 3-days-stale urine combined with draught swill. The thick, supersweet syrup is difficult to swallow and will instantly give you the bubbleguts. And by bubbleguts I mean diarrhea. I may or may not have gagged more than once while choking down this vile, heavy, disgusting excuse for a forty-ounce. I got a headache with 5oz. to go. Terrible.
