Draft at Floyds. Frankly, calling this a malt liquor and brewing it with corn does not put it on the same stage with a Steel Reserve, It’s much better than that. In an English pint glass, it shows a copper-amber color with a slight, clingy head. Plenty of corn an alcohol in the nose. I did find something in the taste to reming me of a Colt .45. Solid malts, and yes, plenty of fermented corn, but without cloying sweetness of alcohol fusels. True to its Floyd-ness, there lots of hops here, but just the noble bittering hops to keep the sweetness in check. A chewy body that gets sweeter after all as I go further down the glass.
