Alright, this is a 6.0% ABV flavored malt liquor. Way too sweet is my first impression. Easily two extra cups of sugar too many in this 22 fl. oz. bottle. The smell reminds me of Fruit Punch Kool-Aid, which isn't a bad thing. Can't taste any alcohol and barely any malt flavor. I drank 48 ounces of St. Ides high gravy malt liquor before I cracked this, and believe it or not this 6.0 is keeping my buzz going. If it didn't keep my buzz going, fuck this shit. Because it DOES keep my buzz and it says St. Ides on the label, 7/10.

12 oz. stubby brown bottle. No clue as to freshness, but it was bottled in Jamaica the cap tells me. Smells of wine. Very floral. Ugh. What a strange tasting lager. Almost knocks you over with the sweetness. Reminds me of taking a Budweiser and adding 2 tablespoons of sugar before you drink it. Medium carbonation with a very good mouthfeel that is somewhat creamy. I'm getting a very distinct warming sensation from the alcohol, yet it is less than 5% ABV. Some malt taste in there. Finishes with a taste like that of a Corona or Pacifco. Best to drink very cold to keep the flavors at bay. Not something I would ever drink again.

As opposed to my usual feeling that in most cases the colder the beer the better, I actually recommend that you let this beer warm up before drinking it. When it is ice cold the flavors simply don't come out. I have a problem with the mouthfeel of this beer, which is seemingly less substantial than water. This would be a much better beer if it were thicker. It is also low on the ABV scale. Could definately use a little more kick. Love the taste. Sweet, honey like. To me it tastes like a Pacifico with sugar and honey added. Alot closer to an "alcho-pop" than a beer, but great nonetheless. If you haven't had a Newcastle, try one. Great from the bottle.

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!

Highly carbonated. Initial tastes of nutty, roasted, smokey, chocolate. Like a Sierra Nevada porter but less robust with a nutty taste. Finishes bitter. Yummy. I'm glad they decided to bottle this one. 5.5% ABV.
