While I am not aware of the legal classification that governments what is or isn't a malt liquor but I am sure the guidelines are not very strict.
The aroma is a pungent sugary sweet corn scent, mixed with a malty dank alcoholic warmth.
From the first sip you will realize that is marketed as less of a beverage and more of a means to reach intoxication.
Sugary, cereal mixed with corn make up the body, then hot gross sweetness like you get acid reflux.
Smells almost like rubbing alcohol. Tastes like the surgeon general's warning. Unless you are on very hard times and someone has offered you this for free, please avoid this and stop buying this. This is no good reason why this is produced. Far worse than Olde English, just a note/ reference point.

710ml can (a 'seven ten', apparently) - I have my reasons, which are essentially along the lines of pouring one out for a friend's dog - rest in puppy peace, Czar!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and only faintly fizzy off-white head, which leaves some random splotchy lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly abates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, dextrose, Corn Pops, white grape juice, and rubbing alcohol. The taste is bready and doughy, er, malt, simple syrup, white wine dregs, the water in which you boiled the corn, sugary booze, and some ethereal earthy and dead floral bitterness.
The carbonation is pretty unremarkable in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and actually fairly smooth, with only the firewater essence maybe acting as the fly in the proverbial ointment, to wit. It finishes off-dry, the generic malt and muted frooty notes fixing for a lingering donnybrook.
Overall - yeppers, this is exactly what the doctor (a known quack, but still) ordered, and actually quite tolerable when fridge-cold. However, the honeymoon fades fast as things start to warm, so I'd say that puts this one smack dab dead center in the bullseye of this style, amirite?

First sips, it's bad. A few sips later, it's so bad it's good. After a few more, it's so so-bad-it's-good that it circles right back round to plain bad again.
