I spotted a 500 ml can at a bodega, if you can call it that, near downtown Montreal about a month ago. The label certainly makes a statement, somewhat eye catching. The pour is a vibrant, clear yellow with a surprisingly steady skim of very small bubbles. I smell mostly corn and the some other grain. The taste is really not bad, I was anticipating something lower brow than it delivers. Sweet corn, malt, hay, Juicy Fruit chewing gum and water . I’ll see if the 10% abv kicks in later. One could do much worse than this.

Nasty stuff. Rubbing alcohol mixed with old bandaids. Seriously foul. Fake malty aroma. Piss golden pour and that's the best feature of the beer. Foul aftertaste. Can in Colombia.

After having their Bold version (which was already malt liquor), I now come face-to-face with this one. What is up with all of these over 10% ABV strong lagers recently ?? Single can (thankfully). Pours a deep golden colour with a soapy head that leaves some little dirty lace. Decent barley scent at first, but it does not take long that adjuncts come out. The bad hop makes the liquid smell like rusted water. Oh wow !! The taste is so yukky, thank God this did not come in a 1.14L like the Molson Dry 10.1% I had last week (would of puked even more with this one). Sweet, rusty bitter, sweet and then... a touch of honey lingers (the best part). Never again.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée foncée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, moyen de sucre chimique et léger d’alcool métallique. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas et une texture sirupeuse. Goût de grains de malt très sucrés avec de faibles traces fruitées (semblant de bonbon aux pommes vertes) lors de l’entrée en bouche qui vire en un goût de sucre chimique puis en finale un goût d’alcool métallique et légèrement réchauffant domine le tout. Post-goût moyen, composé d’alcool métallique et d’un résiduel de sucre chimique.

SLAM! Yeah, Slam! Damn, a "slam" beer must be awweeeesssoome, right? Even over in France I didn’t see this stuff on sale.... perhaps they took the floor droppings, added a few gallons of ethanol alcohol, and shipped it over to North America to sell? Who knows..... but what I do know is that there is a 500ml can staring me down, with its tacky evil energy-drink-style label, on my table. So it pours with an ugly pasty-white head and a boring light amber body with very small bubbles for carbonation. The aroma is cloying fruity sugary rice-wine sweetness like that of a million other macrobrews. The taste is harsh malt and syrup notes with a sweet finish. Well, it’s vaguely drinkable, but in all honesty it’s quite bad - but drinkable enough to get you wasted when you need it.
