Tastes nothing like elks. Gold pour with a nice sized white head. Extremely skunky aroma and flavor. Almost too much for me really. Grassy hops, very lively carbonation. Far too sweet in the finish.

Courtesy of (or curses to) Blomster. A skunk has died here Dehydrated piss color Like R Kelly's tape

4/25/13. 330mL bottle thanks to blomster! Clear golden piss pour with a small frothy. Horrid, horrid skunk aroma slams you before the cap is even fully off. Rich aroma like a skunk took a dump, rolled in it, and then got set on fire... with some pale malts. Sickly sweet malty, corny, pale malt doughy flavor. Lingering sugar and corn.... and a touch of tartness. Wow. Awful.

0,33l bottle from Systembolaget. Pours pale golden with a low head. Aroma is sweet malts with metallic alcohol. Flavor is sweet malts, with even more metal. Barely drinkable.

330 ml bottle, rated from backlog. Aroma of corn, pale malt, alcohol and a touch of grass. Taste has lots of corn with a hot alcohol finish.

Golden colour with a white head. Sweet sugary caramel malt and alcohol nose. Rich sweet malt flavour with a lot of alcohol as well. Some fruity notes. This must be made for german tourists that think it is funny with a Moose in the label.
[Bottle from Systembolaget in Strömstad, Sweden]

330ml bottle. Fruity with malt and citrus aromas. The alcohol penetrates through really well because of the light body.

Pale golden with a white head - some small hints of malt in the atoma - the taste is not there at all, there is nothing good to talk about, rather the oposit, this was really bad - and the bad no good taste is olso present in the finish - this was barely drinkable

Trade with Cunningham, huge thanx maaan! Pours clear golden yellow with small head. Smells very malty, slight fruity and alcoholic. Starts malty and grainy, slight metallic and artifical sweetish. Middle part is very sweet-malty, very grainy and artifical sweet. Goes into a strong malty finish with some bitter-sweet fruits.

Bottle at the flat in Stockholm. Ah, so much hate for the malt liquor, I see. This specimen pours clear yellow with a whimsical, white foam head. The aroma holds loads of cereal, sugar and corn. It has a mega sweet flavor with more corn, syrupy sugars and mild hay. Full bodied with average carbonation. Warm finish with sugary alcohol, cereal, corn, some wet hay. Just very sweet. Thankfully, this alcohol is not overbearing - lo, the hallmark of a fine malt liquor!
