I had this the same day I had HG800 and with this beer I was also pleasantly surprised. I expected it to taste a lot like 211, but instead it had very little taste and a lot of alcohol to boot.

24 oz can - I drank this one alongside a Rogue Dad’s Little Helper (their malt liquor) to compare the two and frankly to see if the craft brewer, Rogue, could do better with a style that’s best known for being a cheap alcohol delivery system. The Rogue was $6 for a 22oz bottle. This one was $1.19. It pours clear yellow with a one finger, fizzy white head. It has a light, grainy aroma and a grainy, sweet malt flavor with strong alcohol presence and a harsh palate. The finish is just plain rough. I got through maybe half of it before I gave up and dumped the rest.

I’m slowly building my curriculum liquor de malt. This was an especially heavy example, pouring a clear, rich straw hue topped by a sparkling off-white head. A resplendent nose of sweet corn and urine blessed one sense, and the other was aroused by flavors of the earth- rancid, sweet grass, corn-off-the-cob-and-off-in-general, and peculiar but rather harsh metals, though I dare not say which varieties. Do I hear garbage disposal? Pity me not, this is the prize I sought, though I cannot seek it again.

24 oz. can. Good old A-B sweet corn aroma. Not even grassy hop. Light brassy gold color with a decent white head. Thin to medium bodied; moderate, fizzy, carbonation. Tastes like malt liquor. A bit sicky sweet, no noticeable hop. Not so disgusting as many of this ilk. Not a great tasting finish, but it is clean.

Can: Gold color medium head, no lacing. Awful smell of cough medicne, Drain-o and rubbing alcohol. Noticeably high ABV and grainy taste. Cherry and vanilla finish that wasn’t all that bad. Poor quality, but mildly drinkable.

Ruff tuff stuff. I have a situation that is high gravity, one that is grave – I am very thirsty! Half pound can dressed in black with bold bright lettering. So, you ask, did he really not drink this before? Should I be ashamed to say I did enjoy this before? Is there anyone in the US that never tasted this before? This is not a ticker, it is an actual rating as I enjoy it. Wanted some rate beer experience first. Pours like strong ale in my steeler stein. Initially it is very fizzy and the carbonation fades to no lacing or even bubbles. Color of a dark yellow / light brown appearance, did they add some caramel fruit coloring? Not much aroma but what exists is a hint of sweetness. The aroma is no hint of what lurks within the flavor. The initial flavor is an aimless alcohol impact. The background flavor is of a typical good quality pale yellow american beer, but that is the background. It is the alcohol of a barley wine, strong ale and dubbel. There is a bite in the back of my throat. I think the initial numbing of the flavor makes your taste buds accept it easier as you continue. Didn’t I read that high gravity is good for some beer styles? After all, it’s brewed for a distinctive bold taste? When slugged, there is some fizz on the back of the throat but for the most part this is pretty flat. Usually it is the finish that makes IPA and imp stouts unbearable, but with this brew the initial rough bitterness is hard and unbearable. After the initial onslaught, it may become acceptable. The pre-finish nearly insults my uvula. As far as the % alcohol goes, this is on par with some of the better high % beers, brown shugga and elephant! Dare I say the finish of Bells wheat love?

Sampled from a 23 oz can this beer poured a dark golden color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma is sour tangy macro odor with a hint of light fruits. The flavor is bitter, sour and tangy macro crap. The finish is strong and a bit revolting.

24oz can I wasted $1.39 on. Clear water to yellow color with faint white head. Aroma is corn, hay, fiberglass resin and metal. I wish I could rate the aroma a zero or less. I’ll just deduct it from the overall. Should I be drinking something that smells like an auto shop? Sweet sweet flavor. I don’t think much of the sweetness is coming from malts. Sweet corn and cereal backed up with a metallic hop note. I see why they want you to drink this ice cold. I’m not sure they want you to taste it. NOT RECOMMENDED. Don’t buy even at $0.01 per 24oz can. If someone gives you this beer they’re not doing you any favors. Place in the nearest trash receptacle and walk away.

Can 71 cl. Clear deep golden with a white head. Sweet corn aroma. Medium body, sweet notes of corn, a little metal, a little sulphur with a discreet bitterness. 100709
(Can 70,9 cl) Pours pilsener golden with a small, white head. Vague aroma of malt. Medium-bodied but still manages to appear watery and sloppy. Notes of corn, some alcohol and then nothiing much more. And certainly no bitterness. 3/2/3/1/6=1.5 010406
