Knox 19% Strong Lager

I came across an unusual can while I was shopping. It looks like this:

This smug visage caught my eye on the liquor shelves. Since it was a lot flashier than everything else on it, I had to pick it up. Looking on the other side of the can, I saw this:

Nineteen percent. And I assume that's alcohol content.


Alright, I thought, I've had Everclear and absinthe before. I can take the burn.


But it wasn't the burn that made it a horrible experience, it was its horrible flavour. In my experience, the strong liquor I have consumed was relatively tasteless, with the burn being the only unpleasant factor. This drink managed to make that experience even more unpleasant.  I didn't know what I was expecting in terms of taste, but I certainly wasn't expecting the taste of rusted metal.


All in all, if you ever see this thing and you're curious about how this thing tastes, go find a metal fence somewhere and lick it. That's what you'll be missing out on if you choose not to pick this up.
