('merican version)

I had this once before thanks to ders0 about a year ago.

Back then I drank it alongside some Vietnamese food and other 40s so I don't really remember much about it.

Since then I've sampled all the other Minhas 40s including Clear Creak Ice, Thunderbolt, and Perfect 10 and would say that I know a thing or two about this company.

I cracked the one I just drank at about 12:20am EST after sitting in the freezer for a...

A big thanks to ders0 for the hook up here.

Opened with a nice crack and strong hiss. I was expecting the worst, but instead was pleasantly surprised. In spite of the 11% ABV I sensed no alcohol harshness at all. A slightly fruity taste for sure, but a much better choice than EE or even Four O. Even the swill was decent. I should note that by the time I finished the 40 I was already feeling it big time. This one gets the highest Racer's Recommendation. An easy 8/10...

Goddamn. This stuff is immediately placed among the best 40s I've ever had. I expected this to taste absolutely terrible the alcohol % being what it is. The closest thing I've ever drank would have to be a four o coming in at 10%, and although that was a few years ago, I remember it tasting far worse. But thats the thing, this stuff didn't taste bad at all. I felt like I was drinking some kind of special microbrew the entire time. Yeah there was some alcohol bite, but not enough...

Axe head is must drink! first couple swigs are always alittle "sour" kinda a fruity, but it warms on ya (or maybe its the alcohol 11%)
The swill is just that swill, tastes real sour like the first couple swigs, freeze it and slam it! 8/10 swills and the buzz factor is 2nd to none!

- holy shit. like no other malt i've tried, doesn't even hold a candle to four o or camo silver ice. league of it's own. this is ice fucking cold - been in my minifridge for a few days, then in my freezer for a half hour. i can already tell the worst thing i can do is let it get any warmer than this.
- that being said, it tastes mad good. it has a real genuine taste to it - as a microbrew, it has that crazy "microbrew" taste to it, although who knows if they...

For 11%, this shit is not bad. tastes like high gravity shit, but not too bad at all. A taste test would tell you this shit is not high alc %.

got me fuckin drunk off my ass too

I agree with bruz thast all CAMO's taste wayyyy worse, and are a bit weaker. Too get wasted this shit is fucking great, buy it and drink it all the time.

Hello 40 oz.'ers,

I should explain how i came upon this 40, my lesbo roomate was out with some friends, and ends up getting dropped off blacked out drunk at 3am with a 40 of axehead. Curious, i asked her the next day how she got it, and her response was that she didn't know and i was welcome to it. It is probably easier to get here than most places, as I'm in Minnesota and it's brewed in Wisconsin. I can't say i've drank a lot of forties (pretty much your...

What the fuck? This tastes like juice... It's indescribable really, it tastes nothing like any 'beer' I've ever had. The backdrop here is I assume axe head is a replacement for rock head, I've had the lowly (and exceedingly rare) 10% rock head before and it was the worst 40 I've ever had. I made that judgment despite the fact that it was my 3rd 40 of the night. This is better, but it's pretty rough. It's very cold, it's been in the freezer for a couple hours... Strong boozy taste, but not...

First off a huge shout out to ders0 for the hook up on the Axe Head. I just drank this after being sick and not drinking for about 2 weeks, so the buzz factor is amazing, it really feels like I just drank 2 40s. The taste is really not that bad, it has a real sweet taste, I want to say like St. Ides but its something else that I cant put my finger on. I know that this 40 is 11% unlike the EE Red and Sour that claim 10%, the buzz factor is unlike I have ever had in a single 40. The swill wasnt...

Finally had mine last night, thanks ders0

I had no complaints with the taste of this 40. Def had the thick sweet type of taste you would expect from a 40 with that much percentage. But not bad at all. I was able to drink the whole thing down, and even the last few sips that were a little bit warm were easily torrible.

This provided a tremendous buzz, and really kicked my ass. This was really strong.

Axe Head is a very odd 40. The first few sips of the 40 were good, and it rapidly degenerated into swillness. I stuck this in my fridge for about 15 minutes, and then dug into this one. I'm relatively well buzzed off of one 40 and would be completely done with two. There was little crack to this one, and the swill was about as tasty as the rest of the 40. Thank you to ders for providing one of the rarest 40s out there.

American: I assume this is the same forumula as the Canadian but I'll post the American disclaimer anyways.

Ripping this right now. Not that bad for a 11%. Better than regular evil eye and Camo Ice. Tastes sort of fruity but not too bad. For an 11 it's not bad at all. This is probably the strongest 40 i've ever drank. Is there a 40 stronger than this, I'm not even sure shows my malt wanksterism right there. But yeah for the content it's pretty good.

3/10

This shit initially tasted like shit. Pure shit. I thought it might be one of the worst ever. But for some reason, after a few sips, it became tolerable. Camo Silver Ice is much worse tasting & about 2% weaker. Overall, for the strongest 40oz in the world, this did not taste like it. It may be in the Top 10 Worst 40s list, but it definitely was NOT the worst. Again, the only truly bad taste was initially, then somehow I got used to it real quick. 8/10 swills. Not higher due to the taste,...
