Camo HG is rough around the edges. At one point it was the strongest 40 in the U.S. but has since been blown out of the water by much stronger brands with less harsh tastes. The swill tastes like 98.6 degree pee and kinda burns my throat on the way down like hard liquor. I rate it 7/10 swills for packin a punch and burning my throat... as well as having a camoflauge label! My (now ex-)girl had a classic line while i was swillin' it: "You look so white trash - sitting there in your Budweiser t-shirt, 40, glazed eyes, & red face."

Camo is a faul testing forty, my buddy, a drunk pissed in his pants twice drinking that shit, I was so shitfaced to piss in my pants, however one day I ate a sleeping pill and drank a Camo, everything was cool I was trashed, until at about 4AM when i opened my eyes and so my hand holding my dick and pissing off the side of the bed. Thank god i was subleasing
40 Ounce Killa
Thanks out to satan165 for the hookup on this! I approached this one with a bit of hesitancy, since its higher-octane cousin (Camo Silver Ice) was so putrid to begin with. I chilled this bitch in the freezer for an hour, then went at it. Nice hiss on the crack, and not a bad odor. The first swill wasn't bad at all, just a little shiver due to the high alcohol content. The more I drank this, the more I liked it. The swill wasn't too bad, and I had a very nice buzz when I finished it. Camo Silver Ice should be the 40 of choice for bums and functional alcoholics in the United States. For the rest of us, Camo HG would be a nice alternative if we ever wanted to get crunked without a nasty taste.

Much thanks to DoubleJ for hooking me up with this 40! Hissed and cracked very nicely when I opened it, figured that was a good sign. Shit spent about 30 min in the freezer before I opened. First sip tasted pretty good to me, was kind of thick tasting but tasted good to me. Now I'm about halfway through and am feeling a nice buzz. I can taste the alcohol but don't mind it so much as I am used to drinking St. Ides HG and 211. Shit's starting to warm up now, not tasting as good as before but still drinkable. Ok, hitting the swill now, this shit is foul. Almost done with it now, the buzz is kicking in hardcore and the swill isn't tasting so bad anymore. Ok, finally finished. The Camo wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I could definitely see myself acquiring a taste for it if it was more available to me. Overall, pretty good malt, very thick, could have been much worse tasting for it's alc. content. I'd give it 8/10 stars for getting the job done while still being drinkable.

This stuff is great, as a 211 drinker I have no complaints about the sharp taste of alcohol greeting my tongue accompanied by an adequately bodied malt. Halfway into the bottle I realized I hadn't eat anything today and better get a move on making dinner before I get too wasted, otherwise I run the risk of burning my place down with the stovetop. It has almost happened several times before. Anyway, I'm drinking this and gulped down a big greasy homemade burger and and getting the buzz of my life. Usually food stops or at least slows down the buzz factor, but Camo cut through the grease like a laser through butter! 8.5 out of 10 swills for Camo, because it measures up to its 8.5% while being quite smooth.

If you want to get knocked on your ass, this is the beer to drink. I first had one of these at a sleepover while I was on the football team. I remember how this shit tastes like rubbing alcohol. I've put it on fresh wounds to make them heal faster. Camo tastes like piss but it gets the job done, and after all, that's all that matters. Camo intimidates people, you stand there in the dark with a bottle of camouflaged beer that can also be used as a weapon and nobody will fuck with you.

what can i say, the good ol 8.5% ... i waz pretty hungover when i cracked this open so it waz kinda hard to get into..BUT by the time i drank pass the top of the label it got rid of my hangover, it tasted good, real good buzz, the swill waz kinda hard to drink, 8.5 outta 10 !

Ahhh, I remember the first time I saw Camo. It was in the refridgerator case at some wacky pizza place in Wilkes-Barre, PA where they called slices "cuts", which is really weird. Saw the fake-ass camo pattern on the bottle and asked the guy behind the counter about it. He advised me to stay away, and I did..........that day. Naw, it don't taste that great, but it doesn't taste that bad either. But, it sure as hell gets the job done. There's a lot worse out there, and this is the Camo to get when you can't find Camo Silver Ice, since they basically both taste the same anyway. Gotta' give Camo props for two things. It's cheap, and the bottle proudly displays the % on the label, unlike a lot of weak-ass malts that make you think you might be getting some serious % only to come here and find out it just crosses the line into the malt catagory. Fuck those weak 5.6% and 6% malts, buy Camo! 7/10.

This shit is crazy! 5Xs of alcoholic power! It's so strong you can actually taste the X's going down. The first few sips are tuff but once you get goin' the buzz comes on fast. I was sippin the bottle neck to get used to it then when I got to the label I tried to hero-time it but I only made it to the ass-end. Being that it was an out-of-state 40, I finished every last drop. I was buzzin' for hours after that.
drunkenbird611
man i got this beautiful 40 from satan.From start to the last drop,this is my favorite 40,it was smooth,and since its strong,it gets the job done,it takes a great 40 to replace my long time running favorite 211

Man its been a week since I hit a 40 but overaul the first crack of the 40 was little to no hiss and after the first sip I knew this was gonna be ruff but overaul It wasnt that bad ass Camo Silver Ice. Buzz factor was pretty damn good giving me a buzz like Ides and taste wise it wasnt as bad as Ides. In the end I think the stuff is prety raw but at the same time not as bad as Ides so I give it 5/10.
High Gravity Swilla
Thanks to Braindamage 702 for my first Camo experience. Well Drinkin it down to the top of the label was a bit rough. It definately starts off with that high gravity "kick". As I reached the mid-ground- 15 or so ozs into it- That buzz hit~~like a grenade goin off, but the shit is seeming to get smoother.As I get past the middle the 40 has slightly warmed-- The swill is burning my throat and chest but its warm and fuzzy too. Weird kinda buzz-- I love it. This is the strongest 40 Ive had and I love the shit -- I will have to trade everytime I want one but its worth it -- easily my new favorite 40 of all time. 9.5 of 10 swills

Smooth brew with an aftertaste showing its HG-ness. VERY nice buzz factor in the end with the swill being fairly drinkable. 2 of these 40s would put me in the hospital. It made me want to sit on the street corner and beg for change.

rage60oz
Got me a couple 40oz's of Camo been sippin that shit, Like the label says goes down Extra Smooth, but only after the first ones been dropped. The swill is like rubbing alcohol ... For that I gotta give it 9 out of 10 swills Just for beeing the bitch that it is. It made me shiver twice while droppin it.... Watch out for this one...

I was really scared to drink this, I'll admit it. Everyone said it tasted so bad...etc...it tastes fine! Ides tastes more fucked up then this. And even with the Ides, I can handle the taste, you just have to be ready for it and get used to it as you drink. If anything, this is easier to drink. Feeling buzzed and I'm about exactly half way through. Buzz: A, Taste: B

Well, its not the first Camo Ive had but for some reason it tasted a hell of alot better than the first one I had. I musta got a bad batch or something last time. So my thoughts on this Camo have been improved. It tastes almost identical to some beer that my dad and I made in his beer machine at last Christmas, and I must say I rather enjoyed that home-made brew. There was nice swill all the way down, great taste from top to bottom, and it got me feeling really warm and fuzzy inside! The coolest part about this was that I gave my dad a small champaigne glass full of it and I totally converted him!!! He was tryin to convince me to sell him one of my other Camos and I told him to find his own fucking friends to trade with, LMAO!! My first convert!!!!

Much thanks to Bruz for hookin me up. I was a little intimidated by Camo at first reading all your reviews about it burning on the way down and all. but it actually wasn't that bad. A slight burn but not too much. it tasted ok too I liked it a more than OEHG, St. Ides, and of course M-X. as it got warm though it was fuckin horrible tasting and began to burn more. I didn't get as much of a buzz as I was expecting either, although the one I got was pretty good. I'd rate Camo 9 of 10 Swills for being the King of High Gravity Malts...

As soon as I cracked the bottle I thought this had gone flat as a result of rolling around in a suitcase filled with thongs and J-Lo jeans. I poured a little in a glass and it fizzed up nice so I knew that it was just the way it was supposed to be. Really not that bad. Kinda sweet like most HG's tend to be (steel reserve etc). I kept this bitch in the freezer for an hour prior to drinking to ensure the swill stayed cold. I was able to drink it all the way in about 45min. Overall not a very tasty malt, but worth it for the buzz it gave me. I would drink this again but would rather have a steel.
YerPissingMeOff
I swilled this after some ghetto wines so of course it tasted great, but I gotta say this is the smoothest 40 I've ever had, (well at least for around the % its at) 8.5% is an odd number for me too, over here we either have 8 or 10. I liked this shit a whole lot, and even when it got to the swill I pounded it back like a champ cuz it didnt affect the taste too much for me. it stayed cool throughout, but I drank it pretty fast so it didnt get a chance to get warm and flat. But seriously it flowed down like water, cant rate the buzz really cuz I drank some other shit before it, and piss factor was none. I didnt have to go take a piss til sometime through my next 40. It was nice to finally try this, I have wanted it cuz of the label and good shit Ive been hearing forever, 8.5/10 swills seems appropriate
