24 ounce can into lager glass, best before 4/22/2019. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity corn aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/grains and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Touch of corn fruitiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey/pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of pale malt/grains and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with no yeasty notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is a very good malt liquor. All around nice robustness of pale malt/grains and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very clean and nicely rich barley/grain flavors, with solid earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Once again Miller proves they make the best adjunct lagers. Was very impressive. --- Beer merged from original tick of Magnum on 01 Jan 2019 at 20:38 - Score: 7. Original review text: Very good.

From old tasting notes. Greenish gold color with a bubbly white head. Faint sweet/sour malt aroma. Mildly sweet malt flavor. Lacks any hop character or body.

24oz can, courtesy of womencantsail, pours with a clear gold body that supports a thin cobweb like nearly bright white head. The aroma offers up apple and pear estery sweetness and sugary malts and little else. The taste at first sip is pretty offensive but my palate is somewhat adjusting. It delivers estery fruity sweetness as well as modest sugary malt sweet enhanced floral hops. Not too terrible but not at all worth trying again.

40oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a pale, clear gold with no head. Aroma of corn and grains. Taste is light bitter and light sweet. Medium bodied with a thin texture. Soft carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, meh. Kinda weak.

Bottle @ the First Annual Rocky Mountain Malt Liquor Tasting. Golden appearance with a white head. Boozy, corny, shit aroma. Fusel alcoholic, shitty, grassy, straw flavor. Yuck.

bottle pours gold with a thin white head that doesn’t stick around for very long. Aroma is metallic with loads of corn and pale grain. Flavor is rich hay, grassy grains and faint skunk and corn finishing with a lingering sweetness.

32 oz bottle from Albertson’s Market. They didn’t have any 40’s. Nose of grass, and a little graininess, but predominately grassy. Clear gold with a big, lightly lacing white head. Flavor is very light bitterness and light sweetness. Those must be some hops in there!

Can 71 cl. Clear yellow with a dense white head leaving some laces. Brewing cereal in the nose. Medium body, sweet accents of corn and rice. Doesn’t appear especially strong for a Malt Liquor - thinner than lots of plain Pale Lagers. No bitterness whatsoever. 060709
