old: Last night after a terrible long night at work, I came home to my sweet cold Night Hawk. I believe 40oz Crew ImissMy64oz said that the liquor store owner he talked to claimed Night Hawk was stronger than Camo, which would make it one of the strongest 40s out there. Liquor store owners never know anything, believe it or not... they need to check themselves. However, I don't think it was, due to it not affecting my senses. Anywho, it tasted quite decent, no complaints what-so-ever. It seemed to get warm very quick though, and tasted like swill only about half way down, but that may be because it didn't get sufficiently cold enough in my fridge. So it tasted decent, has one of the best labels of any 40, and has an alright effect, but I highly doubt it's stronger than Camo. Rating is 9/10 swills. Thanks out to "40 Ounce Legend" for this!
new: Good crack with a slight hiss, upon twisting the cap. This was a very very basic malt liquor, almost sub-par to be honest. I say "almost" because there was nothing wrong with it, but it really was basic with no GOOD attributes in my opinion. Well, other than the cool looking label. And just like the original, this did not chill very well in my fridge... and I'll be honest, I took forever finishing it too, because I was doing a lot of updating to this website while swillin it. Something else to note is the fact that I got bad heartburn right about in the middle of this sucka. Swill is swill, and the piss factor is nill. Virtually no buzz either, even after having first sipped down a couple 12oz brews. Overall rating is 5/10 swills, quite the difference in opinion from the original, but then again it's been years since I had that one. Props to MyLiverHurts for hooking me up with this!

Thanks again to MyLiverHurts for hooking me up! Awesome label, awesome slogan. Decent taste. Goes down smooth pretty much all the way down. The strangest thing was that when I opened it, it had a nice hiss but no crack. I looked down and the ring had actually come off with the cap! Didn't seem to affect the taste at all. Overall this 40 had an average buzz factor and a pretty good taste. I'll give it 9/10 for tasting good and having and awesome label/slogan.

I'm convinced this is just "The Eagle" with a different label. Same brewing company, same cap that doesn't break right, same Ballantinesque aroma, same low carbonation, and the same "nothing special on first swig, but really likin' it by the time you're finishing it" flavor. They probably just market "Nighthawk" and "The Eagle" in different areas? If I could get it on the reg, I'd drink it occasionally. It's really not bad. I give it the same rating that I gave The Eagle..............whatever that was?

Straight up ghetto malt, plain and simple. Kind of reminded me of a country club or a night flight 40. No real distinctions to the flavor, not too harsh...good buzz. got rough near the end, but i took too long to drink it, i was in no hurry.

Drinkin em side by side, the original has the far more bold taste (and the accompanying smell) to it, the kind that damn well lets your ass know you're drinking $1.19 worth of straight ghetto juice. The premium is WAY smoother and has more of the 'classic' malt liquor taste (for lack of a more descriptive term). I would think that the Premium will appeal to a much wider clientele of boozers. It took me several times drinkin regular Nighthawk before I really warmed up to em, but the Premium agreed with me right off the bat. Winner: Overall? Regular. But I'll swill either depending on what I'm in the mood for. As a final note beware putting much stock in my personal tastes. After all, I thoroughly enjoyed Lucky Force 10...and I fuckin LOVED Camo Silver Ice

This tastes fishy at first like a St. Ides. Then it seemed more nutty and malty like a Bull Ice HG. (definately without the HG though). Now its tasting a little flat but I got a bad open on this one and I think it actually is a little bit. Its about average and may be a little better if fresh. I'm also a little sick so my review is probably a little tainted.
