355 ml signature green plastic bottle. Consumed ice cold, predominantly from the bottle. This bottle was advertised at 5.5% ABV.

Appearance - what I did pour out showed a decent golden color with a tiny white head and foam.

Smell - aromatic in that the adjunct aromas are quite potent, some sweet malt, corn and rice grain. Some skunkiness.

Taste - for malt liquor it's not too bad, nothing too funky going on as it drinks pretty easily. The sweet malt and grain are a bit too much by the end of the bottle, but it's not inherently undrinkable.

Mouthfeel - smooth with moderate levels of carbonation and refreshing finish.

Overall - it's not really good beer, but as far as malt liquor go, it's pretty drinkable, especially in smaller serving sizes where an increase in temperature won't make it too unpleasant. Glad I tried one, but unlikely to repeat.

The flavor reminded me a bit of a lighter tasting Olde English 800, with a slight apple taste. I thought the hand grenade style bottle was cool, but I don’t think I’ll be purchasing this one again.

L- Gold body with a white fizzy top that disappeared rather quickly.
S- Not much at all on the nose. Maybe some corn? Very faint.
T- Drier than all other malt liquors that I have tasted. Goes down easily.
F- Full bodied beer. Enjoyable mouth feel.
O- I picked this up for a dollar a bottle. What could go wrong?

Just a good old cheap American-beer. Delicious when served super cold. Great summer brew. Not a pretentious light beer.

Had Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor at The Thunderbird Inn, Savannah, poured from 24-oz. can, bottom stamped (apparently) best by "JUN0523," into hotel water glass.

Pours light yellow with clarity and 1- to 2-finger foamy near-white head, with good retention leaving sticky lace down the glass. Hugely sweet malt aroma off pour, becoming a little more corn-like, with some vague fruitiness, and finally a little herbal quality. Begins only moderately sweet and surprisingly mouth-filling, then it's all creamy malt (both barley and corn), until a little unidentifiable (fruity?) wang appears as warms, before a drying, slightly-bitter herbal finish.

A beautiful, pilsner-like appearance delivers . . . not much but a creamy body, but not much unpleasant either, unless you let it warm up, but that's not the proper protocol for malt liquor. Better than anticipated. Might drink again?

Pours out of the can a crystal clear light yellow-gold with a fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Smells malty and grainy, not too crazy. Tastes follows the nose, but the back end has a bit of bitterness. Good carbonation that gives it a good mouthfeel that keeps you wanting another sip. Surprisingly a good beer.

thicker, slightly heavier version of a miller high life imo. on par with colt 45, possibly better. would revisit and recommend. thick lasting head, good lacing, good sweet malted barley and maize taste. good product. from enclosed case of 6 pack grenade bottles. Best by december 2022.

Pours a brilliant gold colour with a nice head that evaporated almost instantly. Smells cheap and syrupy. The taste is ok, Way better than I was expecting. I get sweet notes and corny notes, it seems thick and viscous. Dry mouthfeel
