"It's a shame that you have to write 150 characters because that's 146 characters more than you need for any Steelback brew ('yuck' is all you need). Open the bottle and the aroma of alcohol hits you. Pour it into a glass and the orange glow gives off the same alcoholic pittance. Taste it....and you'll give this the heave-ho.

[2] Review by clarkyo from Halifax, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/17/2006 2:07:21 PM)
"Sure this beer is not great. In fact, it’s pretty marginal. The one thing that Blue Thunder has going for it is the high alcohol percentage and it goes down reasonably smooth. This beer is great for getting hammered and killing brain cells."

[4] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/28/2006 7:58:44 PM)
"This is a sickly-sweet fermented corn/cane dextrose beverage which does not deserve a serious look by beer drinkers or those who value real beer. or their internal organs...
Commonly refered to as "blue chunder" by local wags and for good reason...probably the cheapest park bench stone in Canada....choice of decerning Toronto rubbies because a large can is good for a quick buzz and fits in a paper bag just perfectly so the OPP cops won't roust you in your urban camp out.
3 of these and you start hearing "the voices"...unfortunately they come from EMS workers who are trying to pump your stomach and get your heart going....Posters soon to be seen in Salvation Army street hospices : "have some self respect stay clear of Steelback beer" ;-)"

[5] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/13/2006 12:26:41 AM)
"I am trying to understand why this one is more expensive than the other Steelback... all because of a higher ABV. Must be all this extra caring for the brew. Anyways, pours an amber colour with medium and slow carbonation. The head is decently creamy and tanned, but does not stay as long as it could. Lacing is kind of boring too. After breathing a bit, the alcohol nose escapes. A nutty caramel scent with floral notes is found. Watery mouthfeel and quite smooth. The taste is sweet with caramel, and a touch of bananas. No sign of burn, very, very smooth for a 8% ABV. Reminds me of their Chain and Link, but with a stronger alcohol content. "
