Canned@Tallinn Crap Beer Festival 2019. Blue colour, small head. Aroma is rather artificial of whatever and booze. Flavour is boozy, some rather artificial strangeness. Kind of energy drink like sweetness. Jeez.

24 oz. can, because I'm a masochist. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, frothy, white head. The nose is roasted corn, butterscotch, light lemon zest, green banana, and vanilla. Sweet and sugary, with a buttery, weak bitterness. Light, effervescent, and a bit acrid. Thin, sticky, and pretty poor.

23.5oz can from Center Market. Candy aroma, koolaid powder. Taste is super sweet and sugary, hard candy, sour gummies, orange koolaid. Then comes the ABV like a sledgehammer. While you're still puckering, a shot of vodka hits the throat. Not for the meek...

Golden with a large white head. A bit tangy and grainy, hint of citrus. Not much going on. Short finish. Light body.

103 in the shade right now, haven’t seen the top yet. Time for a cold Crazy Stallion I think. 24 oz can that says $1.25 on the label, guarantee I paid my long range retailer a lot more than that. I’m pouring into a glass to get the lay of the land and switching to a brown bag later. It shows a clear gold, a white head that promptly settles to half-a-skim and a steady carbonation. I smell grain and, well, that’s all. It has an appropriate malt liquor taste, sweet corn, cereal, malt, cardboard and a small honey sweetness. Not a lot of oomph with a 5.9% abv but that is a quibble. Actually pretty fair taste-wise in the style.

Jesus christ dude. This is bad. I'm honestly surprised by any review over 2.0 here! It didn't look too bad at first, bright gold with a modest head but that faded fast and as it sat in the glass, with no effervescence, it really looked like urine. I know people say that all the time about bad beer, but this really did. Smell was a bit strangely fruity, I think it was the fusel alcohols. Also grainy, vaguely corn like. Flavor is semi sweet, grainy, and plenty of fusels, with a horrid rancid bitterness that made me make the face. As I choked this down I gradually adapted to that so it was somewhat finishable, though perhaps I wish I hadn't. I have a terrible hangover today and I don't normally get hangovers ever. Is this what they mean when they talk about fusels causing hangover, cuz forget this. I mean this beer was awful.

The opportunity arises and you grab it. That happened to me with spotting Jaguar at a liquor store in Bermuda, buying a tall boy can and carrying it home. With malt liquors a new brew can be bad or something better than bad. I am about to find out. No glassware, what is the point? Time to get clawed by a big black cat, I flip the tab and take a drink. I detect corn, a bit of hay, aluminum, all with a touch of sweetness. With Minhas products there tends to be be some similarities, that is the deal here. I’ve had very good malt liquors (think DKML) and essentially undrinkable ones (too many to list). This falls somewhere in between.

Panda at home, thanks to GoT via SHIG, 27/06/21. Clear mid golden with a white cap that soon thins to spotting. Nose is toasted grains, cereals, sweet malt, corn husk, light caramel. Taste comprises sweet malts, grains, caramel, light vegetal notes, cardboard, sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a touch of raw alcohol. Solid straight up licker that provides a no fuss boost.
