bought this in this weird gas station on the way back from a beer tasting, i was absolutely tossed when i bought it and when i woke up the next morning- i found this in my travel cooler and really had to think where the hell it came from- then i noticed the $20 worth of pork rinds in my room and things started to click .. . Pours a gold bar yellow, light headring .. smell of corn, farmer breath, and old coins .. . pretty smooth for 8%, and doesn't really have that malt liquor kick back you find in some of the shittier lickas.. . . A decent malt liqour that, honestly, i would buy if i suddenly became homeless .. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqnWyG9jxcs

I think (and I'm not alone here) that St. Ides is the best malt liqour there is. It's good and it gets you messed up fast. Granted there are a few times when you get a "Bad" one and then I dont want anything to do with it but for the most part I think St. Ides is simply the best.

Ok, let's not pretend that this is a fine beer and this is going to be a snobby high class review on its characteristics. It is a cheap, 8.2% malt liquor. And as far as cheap malt liquors go, this should be your first choice if you don't think you can get a malt liquor down. It is 8.2%, yet there is virtually NO alcohol taste to it. Seriously. It tastes bad, but I've had much worse. Think sweet. My only problem is that for 8.2% it really doesn't kick my butt. I get only a small buzz from it. My recommendation: If you wanna get f'd up, get a Hurricane High Gravity. If you wanna be able to finish a high gravity malt liquor and brag to your friends what a gangsta you are, buy this. Hell, it has a Rottweiler on the can, EATING another can of St. Ides. Wow!

This is a malt "licker". It is an ass whuppin high alc. monster with but one purpose in life. It performs that purpose without fail. It makes no claims to be "Fine" or "Wonderous" or "Delightfull". It wants you to fall down and laugh at how ridiculously inebriated you are after 2 of these unholy beasts. If you openned this bottle looking for after tastes and mouth feel or hints of anything but armageddon; you're in the wrong place jack! Now pass me those salt and vinegar chips......

No disrespect to previous reviewers, but you have to remember what you are drinking here. This is a widely available HG Malt. It is not the liquid death some would have you believe. I have served this in chilled glasses and fooled many a beer snob. Certainly no better than average, but for an 8.2% ABV Malt, this is a decent enough brew. Sure, you can sense the adjuncts, but so what? Decent enough head (if poured..and yes, it actually laces a bit..if not, try cleaning your glasses properly) and mouth feel. Don't get me wrong...this is no classic, but possibly the best of the worst. Open up your mind and give it a try. The 22 ounce bottle is your best bet.

This ML was not offensive, a MAJOR accomplishment. This was a was a bittersweet victory drink from a few hours of pickup football. A Liberty Ale at halftime and a St. Ides to celebrate victory. I mean it its a terrible beer, but its my 400th review and it ain't the worst ML out there, y'all.

I can only imagine how bad this will be, anyway, here it goes. The aroma is synthetic and very metallic with minute aromas of grain with even some chemicals present. The appearance is similar to piss and is a ugly pale yellow with even some green hues present with a surprising head on top that is bubbly and thick and remains and is white in color. The mouthfeel is nasty and thick with metallic present with no complexity or balance. The flavor is terrible and slightly grainy with synthetic chemicals present. Overall, horrendous stuff, however, I did not detect much alcohol present considering the ABV of this one. I never want to taste this one again; metallic, metallic, metallic, very gross.

This was by far the worst tasting thing i have ever had. Fuel would taste better than this and i am being very serious. Absolutely horrible, but it makes ya feel alright and thats all that counts with a malt liqour.

Pale golden body with little head or lacing. Ok, I have to stop having malt liquors. They all smell and taste the same...sweet corn and malt, ugh, there horrible. Light to medium bodied and relatively smooth.
