Holly crap!! NattyDaddy!!!!

Golden pale with a good lace around the glass.

Smells like alcohol, corn, and some grass.

The taste is pretty much cooked corn, some barley, and cereal. Not much hops involved. Oh yeah and alcohol.

Light body medium carbonated. Not much else to be said.

This beer by it's very name is marketed to people who need to get drunk quick. Ever heard the term "fratty light"? This is the same thing on steroids. And how can the can have ale and lager on the label at the same time? That is why I do know really know what style this is. Malt liquor I guess?

Bottom of the barrel stuff, but I'm willing to try anything once, so I did. Generic ratty malt liquor. The taste has some funky, tangy citrus/apple-like undertones of unknown origin. Filthy aftertaste. With the price and 8% abv, it may be my beer of choice if I'm ever living in a cardboard box, but otherwise, never again.

This is the perfect beer to use to bait the slug & snail traps in my garden. I've found that slugs don't generally like the higher abv IPA's, but they gravitate towards this stuff. And the 8% abv knocks them right out to then drown in the container. And at $1.50 for a 25oz can, it's also the least expensive option. So I always have a few cans on hand during the gardening season to thin out the slug population whenever I find that they have been foraging on my young plants. I would never drink this stuff, though. In fact, I feel embarrassed even buying it, and find myself explaining to the bewildered check out girl what I'm actually using it for. Cheers!

Cheap beer. About the only two things going for it is it's healthy alcohol content and it's apple-y taste.

First 3 sips is tolerable-cheap for a malt, half-can not bad once the 8% ABV kicks in, oh yeah! Knock two of these on an empty stomach, and as Jessie says "You're in a world of pain." You won't be tasting much of anything after a can or two of these, for sure, including those cheap burritos you also got from local grab and go.

Welp, I can see how the other alcoholics have found this glorious beer towards the bitter end of their drinking cave. It is such a deliciously cozy “end of the line” beer- so high in abv- just chilling there on the shelf trying to blend in with the usual suspects. So cheap, and so easy to find at the grocery store.

I went to the grocery store as it was closing. The registers were all closed. The sliding entry doors were closed. I could only go through the exit. I was already drunk so I was okay with breaking the rules. On my right, as i entered through the exit sliders (which opened right up for me as most things do when I’m drunk, especially when they know they really shouldn’t) were some cases of all the familiar beers stacked up.
I carefully examined them to search the ABV- my eyes scanning the boxes like terminator- or better yet- bladerunner! Quite instantly, I noticed the natty daddy. The 8% abv glaring at me like a replicant… Pupils not dialating properly…. Or whatever the heck Harrison Ford was picking up on In that scene. I had already read about this particular beer on the Reddit forums for alcoholism. I had an AHA moment when I saw the 8%abv and the attractive low price. Brilliant advertising. It was the easiest choice I have ever made. The ONLY choice. Thank you Natty Daddy. No! I Take it back… THANK YOU Anheiser Busch for providing us with an 8%ABV Beer that we can easily pick up in a 12 pack at the FRONT of the grocery store, BEYOND the checkout lines, when the grocery store is trying to close and has its checkouts and entryways blocked off but there are still stragglers waiting in line and i can sneak in there and buy this tasty and easy to drink poison. AND it’s cheap. Happy Fourth of July.

Overall: it’s a 3.2. A cheap disgusting beer with a high ABV at a great price. God bless America.

**EDIT** :Overall it’s a 3.5. it’s even better when cold! Imagine that. Im drinking the one that I stuck in the freezer which became nice and chilled after I forced down the first one. Im pleasantly surprised.

I don't have much experience between really cheap high ABV beer, and really expensive low ABV beer. Now clearly these are not my favorite, but they are a beer I drink often as a college student with cheap taste. You can't really go wrong with this if your primary goal is to get drunk, at the cheapest price possible.

So as a stand alone beer this one is pretty bad. Tastes bad- like metal. Smells weird- hard to explain. Looks decent when poured into a glass with a nice color and some decent head- pretty deceiving. HOWEVER- if you need to get plastered then this is the CHEAPEST way to go. It isn't pretty but so wasn't that girl you took home last night from the family reunion.

Now as a side note- I did try an experiment with this beer. Got a case of it, mixed it with some vodka, Hawaiian punch, orange juice and a bunch of fruit and damn it made a great powerful jungle juice. May or may not have killed some livers though. Experiment at your own risk.

Weirdly smells and tastes of s'mores. I don't know what it is but that is the flavor I get off of it.
