Yuk is correct. In addition the Camo type stuff - I think they are technically a malt liquor, or some form of beverage imported from Russia and made to undermine the US liquor market.

Two reviews:
Quick Side note: Paid a friend 5 bucks to chug 3 of these in less than 10 minutes...Still feel bad about it, and still don't know how it he did it to this day...
The name does a lot for it's taste. You just picture some nut wearing army fatigues drinking a can of Camo as he bombs your platoon..Nevertheless!
A- looked harmless..Pour a light yellow. Typical malt liquor color
S- I thought it was skunked scotch whiskey when I first smelled it.
T- tasted much like the above, but due to it's high alcohol content..you don't have much time to really analyze its bite
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
pours translucent, but bright, yellow with a thin bubbly head that vanishes soon after. No lacing.
The smell is of fusel alcohol - raw. It brings back memories of my mother removing her nail polish - smells like nail polish remover. A slight whiff of grain is mixed in underneath - maybe.
The taste is nasty - sweet, raw alcohol, nail polish remover and soap. I wish the finish were a bit more abrupt, as the taste is horrid.
The feel is syrupy despite carbonation, a bit sticky, too.
There might be worse examples of the style, but I hope not. This shows the worst of the stereotypical malt liquor. A waste of 99 cents plus tax. sweet with nail polish and soap. There are better, more balanced (more flavored) malt liquors out there. This is insta-headache. Couldn't quite finish the first half, even with determination.
