Appearance: Looks like any old cheap 40 oz at first, cheap and efficient, as in gets you drunk enough.
Smell: That does not smell like any malt liquor i ever smelled. Colt 45 or St.Ides is like flowers compared to this.
Taste: OK, yah it taste pretty cheap but what's that OH GOD MY MOUTH
Mouthfeel: This was the worst aspect of it, there was hardly any carbonation yet it felt acidic.
Overall: If you have about 2 dollars to your name, and a mouth coated with steel, by all means.

I awoke this morning sticky, drunk and broke and thought "I want a beer, real bad." That was the type of thinking that got me to buy a real bad beer. When will this self-flagellation end?!?
A recent post asked about the longest time I have spent with a beer and I plan to spend about as much time with this as I did with that 400 # call girl that I spent last night with. Dang, baby, if you are reading this, did you take my wallet?
My pour produced a finger of foamy white head that left like a thief in the night. You hearin' me, girlfriend? I gotta be more discerning on my dates anymore. Color was a pretty golden-yellow but I ain't coppin' to color as to the other matter. Let's just say that I tend to roll color blind and high yellow is so politically incorrect that I don't even use that term any more. She wins in the smell department as she was slathered in perfume and this was slathered in adjuncts. Phew! No taste comparisons, either, as I reserve taste tests for longtime companions, not fly-by-nighters. The beer tasted like gasoline. Filth! Rubbish! My friggin' tongue was burning and my brain began to cook off of the first sip. This ship has but one purpose in life - to get its consumer totally krunked. Hot, fusel, brutal. The finish was so dry that I could hear the Zephyr winds blowing across the Sahara. Wow, but I will not miss this when I consign it to a drain pour. Now, I feel like going into the alley to take a whiz. Anybody got a cardboard box in which I could live? Oh my! I thought that The CANQuest (TM) had taken me down some dark alleyways, but this was like film noir distilled into a bottle.

Silver Thunder has a thick, white head and a golden, clear appearance. Carbonation is medium to high, and the aroma is stinging and semi-sweet, typical for malt liquor. The taste is pleasant, with a fruity aspect. This beer has character. Mouth-feel is moderately heavy. Silver Thunder finishes surprisingly crisp and refreshing. I'd recommend serving this from a can (as I did- 16 oz.), since the clear bottle may allow for spoilage. Also, I'd strongly recommend drinking this one ice cold. My first one wasn't particularly cold and wasn't as pleasing as the second frigid sampling.

Poured from a clear 22 oz. bottle. Has a pale yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smellsodf malts with some hints of corn. Taste is a bit malty, fairly mild for this beer style. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and has decent drinkability. Overall this is not a bad choice as far as malt liquors go.

Not too bad for a 40 oz, though definitely tastes like a cheap one. I'm down with anything Pabst, so at least this has that going for it. Color is reminiscent of urine, but tastes like some nice malt. Not the best 40, but it works well. At least it is cheaper than most.

This particular 40 oz. was marked down to $1.29.
Not a bad color, faintly resembles urine, but a decent beer color.
It didnt smell terrible but it certainly wasnt pleasant. Smelled like cheap beer.
The taste just didnt sit well with me. Watered down, terrible after taste, I would never want to drink this again.
After drinking this that night, everything afterwards was a blur, mainly because drink half the bottle gave me a stomach ache.
I would only recommend this beer if you are terribly broke and need a drink or are a homeless drunk.
