This delightful malt liquor was brewed to celebrate the equally delightful "Region" that we brew in. Brewed with a portion of Indiana corn, this is what a malt liquor should be.

Served in an imperial pint.

T: Subtle malty sweetness leads off, followed by corn-like grains and citrusy hops. Medium-high bitterness. Grainy finish.
M: Medium-heavy body and medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
O: Region Riot is an above-average representation of the malt liquor style.

Fairly nice malt liquor without a printed date on the bottle. Pours a clear golden color with some nice fluffy white head and very minimal lingering lacing. Smells of grain, malt, corn, a little caramel. Taste follows the nose, fairly well balanced and not overly sweet, which was a relief to me. Higher ABV was very well hidden. Mild slightly thin mouthfeel, decent carbonation. Not bad at all. I would drink this again.

Pours a clear golden color. 1 1/2 finger white head. Retention is ok. Minimal lacing on the glass.
The nose is is a very malty aroma. Somewhat sweet, but not too much so.
Taste - Interesting. Quite malty, as expected. It almost has a champagne flavor to it. Not too strong, but a hint of that flavor to me.
I'm surprised how thick this beer felt. It coated my throat as it is going down. There's a slight warming in my throat after it goes down.
This is an interesting beer. First review of Malt Liquor here, and it's been a long time since I've had any, so in a way, this is an all new beer for me.

A new batch of Region Riot brings FFF malt liquor out of retirement, courtesy of a super-classy 32oz bottle. Smells like an old-style corn-infused cream ale, befitting the local corn used here. Hardly a lightweight, though, at around 8%. Hops, if even present at all, are undetectable. Still has some of the classic FFF yeast character that's prevalent in their more German and Belgian style offerings, but this is nothing fancy--some straw, some corn, a hint of apple, and some fusel notes, all wrapped in a short, dry finish.
