24oz can pours clear thin gold with thin near white head. The mild aroma seems to be a mix of floral hops, lime, green apple and a sliver of chemical booze. The taste isn’t all that bad really. I get lime and a bit of slightly moldy lemon mixing with some floral hops and grainy cereal like maltiness. It only gets modestly boozy and just slightly chemical like into the finish along with a little earthy, gravel like earthy funk and a touch of mold. Not too hateful. The ABV, if it is actually 8.2% is very well hidden.

Can at American-can tasting Sdr. Borup. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Dark yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter not very pleasent flavor. Short finish. Watery palate. Not very good.

Can. Clear yellow with small white head. Flavour is malt, sweet and a surprising little alcohol flavour.

This malt liquor is lacking in aroma with only some chemicals. Nearly flavorless; drink it cold to avoid any unpleasantness. Not the worst ever, and at least it packs a punch.

From a can, but I failed to check whether it was a nitro’d can - but as a US domestic malt liquor, I doubt it. (in any case, this style of beer would be the one and only style where I'd welcome the nitro effect) Nevertheless it had an amazingly light and fluffy body, remarkably lacking fusels and esters of other high gravity lagers. Very smooth, with a bright yellow color and large true head. Very light and bland of course, with a light bittterness. Easily the best malt liquor ever! (can indicated Melanie Brewing Co., Portage IN, who I googled contracts their brands to City Brewery)
