Mickey's
I've only had Mickey's a few times but it was my first foray into the world of malt liquor when I was 18 or so. The Ugly Kid Joe song, "Panhandling Prince" starts off with the lyrics, "Sittin on a rusty park bench baby, not much else to do/Smoke cigarettes and drink my Mickey's fine malt liquor brew". Mickey's isn't overly terrible or anything but it's definitely something you'd probably find a homeless guy drinking out of a paper bag.
Mickey's is pretty watery. I'd say the best word to describe the taste of it is "thin". Just doesn't taste like much of anything. It clocks in at 5.6% alcohol so it'll likely get you where you need to go. However b/c it has about as much taste as the average NBA player when it comes to picking tattoos, it'll be kind of a boring trip.
Mickey's comes in a grenade style bottle which is kind of cool and they have a good looking mascot and logo. Each beer has some sort of riddle under the cap which will give you a few minutes of entertainment. However, due to its blandness, I can't give it more than two Bundy Faces. When the most memorable thing about your beer is the fact that it's mentioned in an Ugly Kid Joe song, well, your beer just ain't memorable.

I've never had a Mickie in my life. Singing to the same tune as judging a beer by it's cover. I don't know whether to drink it or give it a blumpkin.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had a Schlitz or a Hurricane that someone accidentally poured water in? If so, you've had a Mickey's.
ReplyDeleteLast time I drank Mickey's I passed out with my wang out and woke up to pictures of people posing with it. I'd like to say they needed a panoramic camera, but that would just make me a liar.
