I want the after picture of the projectile vomiting...</blockquote>
You must have St. Ides confused with some lesser malt liquor like Steel Reserve or Camo. St. Ides is one of the best mainstream malt liquors. There are better malt liquors made as a specialty item by some microbreweries but they are dismissed by the true enthusiast; they aren't made for the actual ghetto consumer, they are for posers and only sold in upscale neighborhoods. While all malt liquors have that sickly sweet corn and ethanol taste, St. Ides has, in addition to that, several complex layers of flavor. It is of medium golden appearance with a thin white head that has laces slowly down the sides of the small mouth fourty ounce bottle. Head retention is excellent for a malt liquor. The smell is mostly of corn and ethanol but there is a noticable aroma of citrus, bread, and peach, although it is hard to detect out of the small mouth forty ounce bottle, especially if it is in a brown paper bag. The smell of the bag can be quite distracting. I sample in a Riedel burgundy glass to capture all the flavor and aroma. The mouthfeel is watery but less so than your typical fizzy yellow beer and it finishes slightly sour. Like many malt liquors, there is a sweet aftertaste that lingers in your mouth like diet soda. My favorite forty is still 8-ball for nostalgic reasons, but St. Ides is clearly a superior product.</blockquote>
Nice marketing with lipstick
Though it actually sounds palatable i still have flash backs when i tried to drink it a couple of years ago. I ended up pouring most of it out for my homeys. When it comes to a (Potent Potables) aka fine Malt Liquor, i favor a buzz bomb of Mickeys or Schlitz, though Colt 45 is right up there as it works every time according to Lando Calrissian...
