24 oz. can, because I'm a masochist. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, frothy, white head. The nose is roasted corn, butterscotch, light lemon zest, green banana, and vanilla. Sweet and sugary, with a buttery, weak bitterness. Light, effervescent, and a bit acrid. Thin, sticky, and pretty poor.

24 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, of which I will struggle to down 2.4 ounces. 11/27/19. Clear pale gold, large fizzy white head, poor retention. Aroma of corn and lemon. Taste is corn, lime, green apple. Medium bodied, slick. Kinda fresh and juicy compared to most malt liquors. Very high carb. Actually not bad, but also, not good.

710mL black labeled can courtesy of Aaron. Thanks! This Malt Liquor goodness iced down to near freezing pours with a clear watery gold body that supported a ten second head that fell back to a weak ring of light tan bubbles. The modest aroma offers up sugary table sugar, sweet thin apple and faint chemical booze. The taste is similar with sugary sweetness and then moving into thin apple sweetness and another faint fruity note that seems vaguely lime like. Toward the finish it picks up modest boozy chemical off notes that are the hallmark of the style. Really cold this isn’t overly sweet but it is plenty estery and then mildly boozy.

Big fucken bottle @ MJ’s house. Thanks bro! Pours a clear yellow appearance with a fizzy white head. Lemonade, corny, vanilla, fucken smooth aroma. A bit tangy lemon, light grape drank, big apple cider, moderately sweet flavor. Smooth. Drinks good.
