22oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a clear dark gold with a half finger of thick white head. Aroma of grains and corn with a little skunk and some green apple. Taste is light sweet. Corn and grains with cotton candy and green apple. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. I’ve had much worse.

This is really interesting stuff for as much as I’ve had it before I got into better stuff, here goes:
It pours a clear golden color leaving more a hazy body. There is no head and barely any lacing. What lacing there is is somewhat spotty. The smell is all about the malts, hops don’t exist in this, as there is no such thing as balance, I guess in this style, oh well, I didn’t make it. The taste is once again, malts, sugary and sweet, no balance again whatsoever. The palate is raw and harsh on the tongue, at about a light to medium. Overall, yeah, I wouldn’t come back to this, boy oh boy, not sure who really drinks this stuff, but whoever does, all yours as I won’t come back to this.

That’s right!! 24oz can (and yes, sadly not a screw top 40, darn it) pours crystal clear watery gold with somewhat loose white head of foam. The aroma has cereal to corn flake like notes mixing with sugary floral hops followed by a huge mound of powder sugar. The taste is somewhat sweet and sugary and floral as well as sticky syrupy apple juice. In amid the nearly harmless flavor notes lurks some chemical booze to take you to a certainly all malt liquor finish. You need this.

8.5% ABV 24oz can pours clear gold slick malt liquorness supporting a thin effervescent off white head. The aroma offers up some odd earthy notes, stale cereal, chemical booze and apple juice. The taste goes from sugary apple juice to chemical booze infused cereal notes to thin rings of nail polish remover. This is straight up malt liquor in all its glory, git sum.

Golden colour, ok head. Aroma is cooked vegetables and alcohol. Flavour is alcohol and not much more...but in a somewhat balanced way. Test of 31.07.2004.

Originally rated July 2005. Sampled this one from their 710ml can. Says it is brewed by Silver Creek Brewery in La Crosse, WI. Also written is that this brew is 7% ABV. Pours a golden lager colour with a white foam head. Well carbonated and medium retention. At first, I got a nose filled with yeast, but after breathing, got the malt scent with hints of apples. The taste is a toned down version of Olde English 800. Easier to drink then OE. Corn is found in the aftertaste. Still, my favorite malt liquor is Mongoose.

Bottle. Pours old gold with white head. Nose is skunk, malt, budget grains and snow. Taste is the same. Finishes skunky, but smoother than expected.

Pored from a 40 oz. Clear yellow, ¼ inch white head. Smells like nothing. Not much in the way of taste. Light malt. Not as bad as I thought it would be. “ I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 4th of July then with a smooth, icy Colt 45.” -Billy Dee Williams-
