weird hazy orange drink color, reminiscent of a really good hefe. No head. Smells fruity in an acrid sort of way. Fragrances of melon, apricots and passion. Taste is sweet with no sign of bitter ale bite, has some malt liquor alky flavor in the background, but just barely. Could be a little more bubble on the palate. Finish very odd, yes its fruity but I also get this unique lingering feeling like I just ate a bowl of sugar sweetened Cheerios. A little rude on the tummy, once inside.

This taste like soda that is extra sweet and artificial. Nothing in this say’s beer or malt liquor to me.

Wow, this is really a Kool-Aid ’n’ gin drink here. I’m sure that Boone’s Farm has a drink that tastes just like this. Mango/orange Crystal Light (because I believe in me) meets Safeway Select vodka meets Shasta Diet Pineapple Soda. That’s all.

A horrible malt liquor with a touch of fruit. For what it is, a cheap drunk for college kids I suppose you could do worse.

22oz bottle. Sweet passion fruit/guava aroma. Hazy orange-yellow with no head. Very sweet passionfruit flavor - no malt, no hops, not even fusels. LIke drinking a fruit juice mix. I can see how this is popular with people who just want to get drunk but has absolutely NO beer characteristics at all. Hate to steal someone else’s description but ROGUE nailed it - this is fermented Snapple. And I think the description meant to say complements (as in completes) versus compliments (praises) but then again...
