Can-check, black gold flashy label-check, taken down to below zero-check. Ok we’re ready. It pours with a crystal clear gold body that has copper hues and supports a micro thin white head. The aroma offers up pears, apples, sugar and some chemical booze. The taste starts sweet and ends sweeter. Amid the bruising sweetness loiters sticky apple juice and pear juice. There’s only a mild boozy roughness but as this warms just above freezing the sweetness gets unruly. This is a 3er.

Big can purchased in a slum part of Vegas. Can looks good at least, kind of a Jack Daniel’s feel to it. Last beer of my Vegas trip. Smells like light pears at first pour. Slightly sweet, which i do not mind. The sweetness stays in the taste with some fruity notes. Clean golden, white head, decent stay, not much carbonation and some good creamy lace. Some light hops in the finish. Not a bad malt liquor overall, as more sweet than on the corn side, but with some decent fruitiness and hops.

24 oz. can: 9.9% Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Scent is berries....malt, cheap alcohol. Taste is sweet, but soon gets replaced by a poorly distilled alcohol flavor. Shrubber85 is correct...it DOES remind me of paint thinner. A rate is a rate...good or bad....$1.79.....cold. I cannot fathom the agony of a morning after a night of this would be like.... It probably would involve poorly done tattoos, broken knuckles, a head injury, and a rampant recombination of dissimilar STD’s.....

Can. Berry, barley malt and alcohol aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet berry barley malt flavor initially but is quickly overwhelmed by fusel alcohols. Like watery Kool-aid mixed with paint thinner. Evil.

Can from Ray’s Liquor in Chico, CA. Pours brassy gold with a foamy white head. Mildly sweet aroma. Nothing obnoxious. Med body. Flavor is actually a bit vinous. It’s not too sweet. Heat is a bit too obvious. No fusil oils. But it just does not really taste all that nice. Better than many tallboys, but not something to seek out.

Can @ the First Annual Rocky Mountain Malt Liquor Tasting. Oh fuck me, this smells like MJ’s asshole. Light golden appearance with a white head. Burning nasty alcohol, rubbing alcohol aroma. This is in the bottom three aromas of all-time. Fuck you. Fuck me. Fuck RB. Super sweet, corn flavor with lots of booze. This is nastier than when pepsiedcan touches himself while watching Spongebob Squarepants. Update: I originally rated this 0.5, but I want to keep just one 0.5 beer (aka worst beer ever) at a time, so this gets a 0.6 since Samuel Adams Triplebock is absolutely horrendous.

16 oz can into Sam Adams lager glass. This beer’s sole purpose is to get winos and young clueless people wasted, so I’m not expecting too much out of this obviously. Bought from the discount cooler at a local convenience store. Pours clear gold with a medium head with pretty good retention (for a malt liquor anyway!). Collapses into a blanket and collar of foam with some decent lace. Smells of corn, booze, fruity esters (pineapple, mango?). Quite aromatic for a wino beer! Taste is all sweet and boozy. Kind of metallic. Call me crazy, but it kind of reminds of me of a bad American interpretation of a Belgian Tripel, like Flying Dog’s Kerberos. Kind of tangy in the finish. Highly carbonated, medium body. Gross, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

24oz can CRUSHED with angrypirate06. 12%... As an Angeleno, I must defend my hometown and say that the bottle credits United Brands of La Crosse, WI (not LA). Deepish golden pour with a shockingly long lasting white head. Booze on the nose, damn! Nail polish remover. Sweet and sticky. Reminds me a bit of DFH Fort sadly (sad for the DFH beer that is). Banana esters, skunk. A lot of brewing flaws to say the least. Its bad, but not truly horrible. Buttery, a ton of alcohol, estery, some garbage. This stuff probably has a ton of calories. Corn syrup and some green apple. Very syrupy. Light bubbles. Worse as it warms.

24 oz can from Odeed. Clear yellow orange with a medium white head. Nose is sweet barley with hints of bubblegum and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt with a sake like pastiness.
