The label states The Eagle Malt Liquor "The Bold, The Proud" sure gotta love this stuff...again contracted by Pittsburgh Brewing but marketed fom G.B.D. Brewing, Pittsburgh PA. Go figure let's make a few different shitty forty ounce malt liquors that taste very similar and market them differently. Pittsburgh Brewing should have never taken a page from the Big Three...appears the tone of apple juice golden body large bubled white head disipates faster than a fart in the wind leaves behind minimal lacing. Aromatics contain cooked veggies corn and rice bringing the sweetness and mild alcohol grainy notes and no real hops in this one. Flavor has a grainy offness with cooked veggies and cereal notes rice and minimal barley malts with really off rough flavor that becomes hard to stomach early in those 40 oz. Mouthfeel is light to medium body range with a sort of harsh carbonation and overall shitty feel that coats your teeth. Drinkability please stick to other cheap beer offerings this was a dollar and some change next to it was Genesee for 2.99 a sixer of 16 oz. cans please go with High Falls over this gimmickey cheap shit, c'mon every college student is broke at some point.

This review is part of Malt Likkapalooza II, the latest grudge match between two jugs of the 'vagrant's choice' (that's actually the name of a malt liquor listed on this site). Eagle Malt, or as the label on my bottle reads 'The Eagle' Premium Malt Liquor, is the challenger today and hails from the steel city, Pittsburgh. Why is the vast majority of beer that uses the word premium on the label anything but? On to the bout...
The Eagle is similar in color to OE 800, but is a half shade darker, a half shade closer to being called amber. I see very little visible carbonation, a slightly dirtier looking head, less firmness and a more rapid collapse. Less lace too.
This beer has a less appealing nose, although it still isn't what I'd call disgusting. It smells rougher, more stale, more chemical-like. While the differences are subtle, they're enough for me to grant different scores.
The Eagle is much the inferior beer in terms of flavor. It also has that corny sweet malt liquor flavor and it also changes midway through the mouthful. Its alternate personality, though, approaches pure nastiness. The raw, chemical-like character that was appreciated in the nose has found its way to the palate and produces that ultimate indicator of crappy beer, the involuntary grimace. When warm, this stuff would be positively vomit-inducing.
There isn't much difference in the mouthfeels. This one is also closer to medium than to light, and doesn't feel all that bad in the mouth. It may be a tad less carbonated than its rival, but not considerably so. If one doesn't mind the flavor (hard to imagine), the beer goes down pretty easily.
The Eagle is the clear loser of Malt Likkapalooza II. It doesn't lag that far behind the Miller product, but it comes up short each and every time. I seem to have a strange affinity for malt liquors. Or, to be more precise, I don't mind them as much as I mind macro lagers. I could drink Olde English 800 if I had too, although the entire 40 oz. might be a chore. The Eagle is another matter entirely. It's definitely on one of the lower rungs of the malt liquor ladder.
