Olde English 800

40 oz clear botttle - the right packaging for a Malt Liquor. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of dust and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey, dusty, and malt, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

From the heavens of the beers I drank earlier this day, we descend to hells of this. I will not describe it further. I cannot do so in any language without the use of profane and obscene language not on here. Merely say, if you are offered this in any form, pas op!

16 oz. can. Body is a light straw color and is lively with carbonation that forms a pretty massive head. Aromas are simply foul. Truck stop urinal with cigarette butts and cheap aftershave are as good as I can describe it. I’m a little worried about going blind from this before I hesitantly take a first sip. It’s not quite as horrid as I expected... sweet corn syrup and wreched funk combine to leave an aftertaste that is on par with the aroma, but for just a second or two, before the aftertaste sets in, it seems like I might escape with no damage. I tried a couple of sips to make sure I was on target and then poured the rest down the drain. I could hear the foul liquid trying to eat and hisss its way through my plumbing system. Even several minutes later I am still hostage to the unearthly aftertaste. Nothing redeeming about it.

The aroma is corny, but not so bad as many malt liquors; might actually be a bit of malt aroma. Brassy gold color with a white head that slowly diminished. Thin to medium in body. The carbonation is mild and creamy. The flavor is decent malt, and there is not really any bitter worth noticing. It seems to generate heat rather rapidly. Ok, if a malty, unbitter lager kind of thing is desired.

Poured clear gold with weak bright white head. The aroma is sweet, corn flakes and hints of metal. The flavor is very mild and watery. The taste goes from sugary sweetness to vague bitterness to corn flakes and then back to sweetness. Seems to be very low in ABV. After that big bottle it felt as if I could have been drinking tap water.

From 40 f. oz clear bottle. Pours clear yellow. Good malt profile and slight bitter/citric. Flavour is plain malt and boring.

Blond color. Almost no aroma. Would better if there was also no flavor, unfortunately there is, and there is nothing good in it, with a finish that tastes like sweeteners. Very bad.

Bottle. 40 oz. 60% of the time, it works every time. Harsh alcohol is the only descriptor I can apply. Yet, its only 5.9% abv, what exactly are they putting in this beer?

This was my beer of choice through my punk rock years. In my opinion, it is the best of the cheap-o malt liquors and the one that in my situation caused fewest hangovers. The beer is best enjoyed inside of a 40oz bottle that masks the smell. First sips are sweet and typically best, but the beer becomes worse and worse down to the bottom. The bottom of this beer tastes worse than Hitler and often I would just give it to a homeless man and start drinking the second bottle just to avoid it.

Canned(473ml). –Brought by a friend from US Open. Thanks a lot Ptico for this crap. Clear yellow coloured, small fizzy white head, slight alcoholic nose. Chemical aroma of corn and sweetened water. And yes, where’s alcohol here? Goes hand to hand with Nevskoe Ice.
