Just wondering. Normally I prefer a lighter beer but last week I picked up a 4 pack of Anheuser Busch Hurricane High Gravity (8.1% Alcohol by Volume) Category 5, in 16 ounce cans. Jake’s professional opinion *, not bad at all. Tastes like beer w/o being overly gritty?, if that’s a legitimate descriptor. Most malt liquors I’ve had in the past (Colt 45 included), you knew it was beer but, it lacked an agreeable taste. That said, I recall drinking Mickey’s Malt liquor in my younger years and actually enjoying the flavor despite it being a high gravity beer. I open the discussion to my fellow Spyder/Ryker freaks/beer aficionados

*back in the late 80’s (1989 IIRC) Jake attended the American Home Brewers Association Convention & applied for and passed the Beer Judge Certification Exam. This exam was no gimme. We had to do blind tastings of multiple beer styles and write out in essay like prose what type of beer we were drinking and what constituted the particular style. Not everyone made the grade. I did however. That said I studied hard prior to this event knowing the exam would take placement
