Sampled at the Railyard location in Santa Fe. Interesting to find a malt liquor on tap anywhere these days. It served up a clear yellow-gold with a strong carbonation and very little of a white head. It smelled like your basic beer. The taste was not earth shaking, fairly basic too. Malt, grain and a touch of citrus. Nice effort for the style but still a malt liquor. Extra grace for being available as a draft. Purchased a second time on 10/22/25 on a cloudy, pleasantly decent late October afternoon in northern New Mexico, I have a few additional comments. The taste follows that of OE800 considerably including the name. The head this time is sizeable while remaining fully white also lacing considerably as I drink the glass down. The taste now reflects a bit of cardboard and also has a small corn sweetness much like 8 Ball. A better tasting this time, perhaps because it is not an end-of-the keg serving like the first time. Time also to up the score a touch.
