King Cobra Malt Beverage 32. oz. $1.39
Served at extremely cold. Head is actually gross looking. Looks like soap bubbles. Served from 32 oz non returneable bottle. Smells like burnt nastiness. Tastes like cardboard. It really does. Very fizzy. After a few sips it tastes like cardboard dubbed with dogcrap.

A: 24oz tallboy can with a pretty badass label. Drinking this one straight out of the can. The only time you should be pouring malt liquor is on the ground for your dead homies.

S: Not much to smell. I can there's beer in there, but the smell is very faint. Just a touch of corny, cooked vegetable aroma.

T: Ice-cold, there's almost no flavor. A touch of ajunct is all that reminds me I'm drinking a beer. Adjunct and veggie taste comes out more as the can warms.

M: About as light, crisp, and water-like as I've ever had.

O: Nothing offensive here. It's way easy to drink, and I think that's the point. Weird to have something from AB that is actually enjoyable (not gross).

You definitely wanna drink King Cobra as cold you possibly can. But in simplest terms though it's like drinking cornbread, very comforting and every bit worth the $2. I am listening to King Crimson (thanks to another member) and feel very happy. Of course I had 240z of a Riverside EDGE (which was MEH at best...) prior to this 40oz, but if you aren't completely stuck up up you can appreciate that Anheuser-Busch created a surprisingly edible concoction for $2.02

Poured from can into a pint glass

Appearance – The beer pours a golden amber color with a tiny white head. The head fades almost instantly with only a trace of lace.

Smell- The aroma is mainly of a sweet corny smell with some lighter hints of a bready nature as well as a little bit of a metallic smell.

Taste - The taste begins with a mix of a malty and corny taste with a light hint of caramel sweetness. Surprisingly, it maintains this flavor largely to its end where only a faint cardboard yet somewhat very lightly citrus hopped flavor come to the taste leaving a somewhat crisp taste to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the medium side with a carbonation level that is rather average as well. A slightly lighter creaminess and mouthfeel may have suited the corny and lightly citrus and cardboard flavors better as well as made it more drinkable. Even with this said, the feel is not awful for the brew.

Overall – Not an overall massively tasty brew, but it is wicked cheap (~ 3 dollars for a 6 pack) and is drinkable, so it suits a need and a situation. For what it is, it is pretty decent.

I poured some of a 40oz into a big glass mug. The beer was your normal dark golden/ yellow color with a white head that surprisingly left some lacing on the glass.

Basically no aroma is present, some corn, adjunct, and a slight sweetness is the only thing detectable.

No taste but light sweet corn , some bread and that's about it.

The beer is light with lots of carbonation.

For a malt liquor this beer is better than most. Honestly, I would buy this if I was really, really broke.
