bottle - This is rather nasty beer. It tastes sort of like they started with a typical watery, corn flavored, fizzy pale lager, then dumped some grain alcohol in it to boost the alcohol content. It rated a bit higher than I expected here, but seriously, stay away.

I went into this one with rather low expectations and those low expectations were met +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a clear light golden color with a small fluffy white head that quickly fades. The aroma is of your standard industrial brew. There is a very mild tangy and corny flavor that is surprisingly smooth for being 7.3% alcohol. Short finish. Medium body.

Molson XXX is one of those beers that I always heard my non beer-afficionado friends talk about having to sneak into the US because it was so crazy potent. Kind of funny considering 7.3% really isn't that high compared to other (better) beers that have been available all along. So now we have Molson XXX available at every grocery store. Cause for celebration? Not really. The beer is a clear light orange color with a minimal white head, and no real lacing to speak of. Light malt aroma. Medium body, and the flavor seems more like a standard Lager than Malt Liquor. Very boring mmalt/hops combination, with a hint of alcohol. The finish is bubbly without a lot of flavor. Pass.

Paid $1.50 for a 12-oz single. (The beer store didn't have much of a singles selection). Clear golden with a nie head. The head's soft, and receeds to about an inch. Strong wheat and beer-tent smelling. Nothing special or new here, but also not awful. A slight bittersweet grassy taste. The alcohol is pretty well masked, though there are hints of it in the aftertaste. Surprisingly, this isn't THAT bad. It's not GOOD, but it's better than I expected. Kinda thin in the mouth. I bought this beer because I wanted to sample a few new beers. Well, my old beer store was running short on a LOT today. This was one of three singles I was able to snatch up that I hadn't tried (and the other two were ciders, rather than beer).

Dark reddish gold. Like a rich rich amber. Decent amount of white head. Aroma has lots of alcohol, lots of malt (slightly cereal grainy), typical light nail polish remover flavor right away, but the alcohol kicks in and sours it out some and the finish provides a medium sweet, medium acidic malt kick that is a little more flavorful. Cant tell if there is some hops in the body or if that is just some grainy alcohol mix. Quite full bodied at least, cant call this watery. Peppery carbonated texture at first, but after sitting the beer gets better and smooths out, I can even detect a little bit of ripe orange fruit esters. Though this style is inherently flawed (as are american adjunct-laden lagers), this is one of the better malt liquors I’ve had.
