Bottle: Very corny aroma. Golden color, white head. Flavor is sweetish, malty and corny, cheep alcohol notes.

Well there is definitely not much to say about it. Had this at a friends several years back and am still feeling the shame. The aromas, the few that exist, are grain especially corn. The beer is pale yellow. The taste is grain, corn, and fusel alcoh with a big sweet presence. Light bodied but cloyingly sweet. Nasty.

Can/24oz - Whoa... this seriously terrible beer! Aroma of adjunct corn and mild hops. Flavor is slightly sweet, but cloyingly so... The ABV has to be the major attraction here... not much else to talk about... Not one I wish to repeat any time soon!!

Dominated by alcohol flavor. Some sweet corn and grain flavors too. If it wasn’t so harsh it would be one of the better malt liquors.

Golden colour, small white, dissipating head. Aroma of corn, adjunct, malts, glue, light sweetness but overall a bit musty. Very, very light flavour. Licht carbonation, light alcohol, light artificial sweet malty. But actually there is almost no flavour to be detected. Light malty finish, light alcohol, light rotten fruit.
I didn’t expect it to be good, as it is a malt liquor -and my first taste of an American malt liquor-. But I didn’t quite expect the actual flavour to be so absent.
(From 500mL can @ tderoeck’s place. Thanks for sharing!)

Disgusting malt liquor, the only selling points of which are low price and high ABV. If you’re over 21 and not homeless, there’s really no point.

3/VI/2012 - 50cl can @ home (2012-593) Thanks to Thomas and Annelies for the can! Yes, I love writing shitty reviews! :p

Clear light orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: bit of sweet corn, attic, dusty, musty, some sugar. Pretty weak but not offensive. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of carbonation sourness first, little sour, chemical sweetness, some corn, sugar, just sweet, bluh. Aftertaste: little citric, rotten fruits, some banana. Drain pour...

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2012 Certainly not great by any standards but for the inexpensiveness of the Steel Reserve series, it’s a rather decent Malt Liquor available in most places, if not all of them. It looks atrocious, smells like corn syrup and mold, yet its tastes are, hate to say it, quite balanced. At least for a nationally-available malt liquor, that is.

Can shared at a recent tasting generously hosted by hannont... Poured pale, straw with a thin head that dissipated almost immediately. This wasn’t god awful. Malt sweetness and hints of alcohol. I enjoyed the extra hops for extra gravity :) ....Cheap, industrial lager-like finish.

golden with medium head. tastes awful, but you already knew that, right? wanna get drunk cheap? try this.
