Bottle. Skunky grainy aroma. Skunkiness cleared a bit as it aired. Clear gold with a small white head. Sweet corn syrup malt flavor. At least it doesn’t have the harsh fusel flavor of the last four malt liquors I just tried.

40 pours bubbly clear gold with weak white head. The aroma delivers sugary sweetness sliding into apple juice, powdered sugar and not too much notice of the ABV. The ABV is actually pretty well hidden. The taste is sugary and then gets estery with apples before a moderate level of semi harsh booziness surfaces into the finish. All in all not too horrible.

40 ounce bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is corn and sweetness with some light dirtiness. A fairly clean corn and adjunct flavor with light odd oiliness. Not horrific. Not good. Finishes with glue and sweet corn.

Originally rated June 2005. The white head from this malt liquor is big, foamy and long lasting. The nose is over-average strong too. Lots of alcohol at first, then some decent malt. Not actually bad, but different in taste. Kind of corn with alcohol. Smooth finish. Slight fruit is found in the aftertaste. Mostly bananas. Not bad at all, but prefer the Mongoose.

Sampled from a clear bottle this drink poured a red-violet color with a trace soapy white head that faded almost instantly and left no lacing. The aroma was light sweet berries and not much else. The flavor was tangy and lightly tart sweet vague berries. There was an odd cardboard like undertone. Medium finish. Light body. Not bad.

Bottle. Deece session with Moroney in BKLN. Pours a clear, honey-gold with a foamy, white head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor too is quite sweet,with some honey and booze notes, and a prominent malt character. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes sweet, semi-thick and a tad syrupy, along with some noticeable alcohol notes. Great malt liquor.

weird hazy orange drink color, reminiscent of a really good hefe. No head. Smells fruity in an acrid sort of way. Fragrances of melon, apricots and passion. Taste is sweet with no sign of bitter ale bite, has some malt liquor alky flavor in the background, but just barely. Could be a little more bubble on the palate. Finish very odd, yes its fruity but I also get this unique lingering feeling like I just ate a bowl of sugar sweetened Cheerios. A little rude on the tummy, once inside.

Big clear bomber with a twist off cap. Purplish and cloudy, like my favorite lambic. I can assure you tho, there is no gunk on the bottom of this bottle. Fruit punch aroma. Oooh boy, this stuff is exceptionally sweet and fru-fru-fruity. The alky is present and its not as refined as you would like. Since most of the fruity beers I enjoy are not of this alky content, it is difficult to ignore the alky content once it manifests itself on the palate. It is almost like a spiked fruit punch at a party; ginger ale bubbliness, fruit and secret alky spike, probably grain alcohol! I found this enjoyable and friendly. Not too sure if I agree with the description, for the lifestyle of the fast paced and all. Seriously, fruit lambic lovers should try this for a kick in the head.

Smells like spiked candy or fruit. Looks pink and cloudy like some pinkish witbiers I’ve head. Lots of sugary fru-fru-fruity flavors. Alky background. Best if drank straight from the bomber. A test for your tuff tummy. Immediate buzzy impact at end of bottle. Probably should not be rated as a beer.

This is the berry flavored stuff. Big reddish foaming beer, with a pink head. Nice berry aroma. No bitter nastiness in the flavor. Friendly berry flavors at first. Alky impact builds thru the session. Something like a weaker wine cooler. Reminds me of the time when I was little, over at gramma’s house; she would mix homemade dago red with seven up or raspberry ginger ale. Get’s a little course near the end of this bomber. Tuff on the stomach.
