Slammed a 40 of this in less then a minute taste corn and malt but its very light. Next to colt 45 Mickey's is where I go if I can't find a 40 of colt 45 and I only drink colt 45 in a 40. I live in a rather rural community and I don't think 40s are for others if you catch my drift. I'm not being a racist. Malt liquor and card games is all I do. Mickey's fine malt liqour is where it is.

The absolute perfect Malt Liquor nothing will ever top mickey's the best 40 for the money not to heavily flavored not to sweet but very little bitterness it has an amazing balance especially in the world of malt liquors a very underrated class of beers I would honstly class it as more of a golden lager just with a slightly higher alcohol content that takes it out of the aal category but definitely doesn't fit into the European countries category of a malt liquor but all in all it is a solid beer that dosen't throw any punches but it doesn't have to it is a great brew for the money.

From the bad old days. Even then, I was trying the wonders of the average gas station. It’s not my favorite. The 24-oz. felt like forever to finish. I may have to wash it down with some Bud Light. ca. 2009

This had more appeal when I was underage and could drink it out of the green big mouth bottles. I have only seen it in cans recently. Sweet corn and light grain lead the flavor and the aroma and there are a handful of hops lending some bitterness. Its alcohol used to be its main selling point. The flavor is not much.

No question, Mickey's looks damn fine. Brilliantly clear brass with a sticky white foam cap. Now I'm thirsty.
Crushed cereal and corn syrup. Just as it should smell.
Corn syrup and corn syrup. Just as it should taste. Maybe a pinch of crushed grain. Wow. Really pushing the boundaries here.
Light, clean, smooth,a little slick, definitely sweet. Almost zero bitterness. Boom.
Hey, at $0.59 per 12 oz., what do you want? Stop rating beers comparing to your favorites of different styles. This is a MALT LIQUOR folks. And as a malt liquor, it's pretty damn good. Otherwise it would already be off the shelves. Cheers.

Deep amber color and sudsy head. The aroma is an sweet malt-like one, but faint and off a bit. Hop bitterness is essentialy non existent and the flavor is sweet with a metallic, malt body. Carbination is low. This brew becomes less attractive as it warms.

What the pale yellow beverage lacks in appearance, is more than made up for by the wonderful 12oz grenade that it comes in.
Smells fairly clean, a bit of corn, almost a floral characteristic.
Taste is slightly sweet corn.
Minimal carbonation, relatively crisp, and avoids the oiliness that is often found with malt beverages.
For what it is, it's pretty solid.

The beer pours a very clear, light yellowish/tan color with minimal head and almost no lacing.
The smell reminds me a slightly fresher version of the dead Bud Light cans I had to throw away from golf carts when I worked at a golf course as a kid. I'm also getting some corn and maybe a little lemon.
The taste is also very corn heavy with a hint of breadiness and brightness before quickly dying to a sweet, bland finish. The flavor goes away very quickly.
The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and slightly sticky.
Overall the flavor isn't bad but the finish is terrible. It's drinkable but not for 40oz.

A smoother tasting Malt Liquor. I do not know if it is top fermented or not, which I understand traditional malt liquors are/were.
Most times, the ABV determines whether it is a malt liquor nowadays.
