It really does flow down (at the risk of sounding gay) gorgeously! I love to guzzle this golden greatness down my gullet. I'm not a fan of A-B's longneck bottles, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be (although this used to come in regular small mouths back in the day). Everyone should like this, there's no reason not to. Your won't get the largest buzz off it, but you can get a decent one since it's easy to gulp down at high speeds. 9/10 swills OLD REVIEWS: *Quote:* 4TDogg Always end up getting the Hurricane when down in the DC - you gotta shop around in that city if you want anything but. Luckily its a decent 40 - bit sweeter than most, a bit subpar buzz factor though. Not such a fan of the wide mouth, so it looses points w/ me on that, but overall it is solidly above par as a malt liqour. 7 of 10 Buzzcore A more expensive King Cobra with a more extravagant label. Can you drink the label? No, so I say stick with the cheap stuff. doublej708 drank the hurricane that i got from 40ozcasualty. thanks again. i liked this 40. if i closed mt eyes it tasted like a king cobra. which is good because i like king cobra. probably has something to due to the fact that its made by the same brewer. it had a consistantly good taste throughout. the swill wasnt even to bad. that might be because i drank it fast. but still, thats a plus. anyway, i give it 7 out of 10. this malt makes me appreciate anything thats not an HG. Drastic Mezures This barely deserves to be called malt liquor. It tastes like someone mixed some bad Budweiser with some flat Colt 45 and can be described as lackluster at best. I've never been a fan of the wide-mouth and thats another bad thing it's got going for it, because I've never seen it in a small-mouth. Overall I think Hurricane's lacking in taste and strenght and is a sorry ass excuse for malt liquor. hg8point2 got this one in some crummy little bar.this shit is so average tasting the slogan should be "the average tasting malt liquor."pretty decent with redhot chips.the buzz factor was very low if at all but i chased it with 2 other 40s to make up for it.terrible swill even for swill.hate the new bottles.5 1/2-hg james well, of course maybe it isnt very objective since i am feelin great buzz from the red bull, but i dont think hurricane really lived up to the hype i was hearin about it from all of you. i mean, it went down great. but it went down just like the cobra goes down. its a beautiful bottle though. i really dont see the difference though. i wanted to just take one of the 40's at a time, after last time when i dont even remember how silver thunder tastes, but went for it anyway, and wasnt really impressed. i mean, its like cobra for the ghetto if you ask me. lookin 4 a 40 I bought 4 of these the other night down somewhere in Little Haiti. As I cracked it I noticed "brace for the smooth taste" on the label. All I can say is to me it tasted exactly like King Cobra did, just in a different bottle with a different label. It went down smooth, tasted good and produced a decent buzz. 7/10 for the hurricane ThUgWiGGa I drank this 2 nights ago before a party, but i still remember! It tasted similar to KC, but somewhat smoother... maybe 'cleaner' tasting. KC is definitely more malty, which is good sometimes, but i think i prefer hurricane. Smooth, easy to drink, and tasty. Not too different from KC to get a different rating... 8/10 Tiger Tai Good to get if your low on funds and are looking for a cheap buzz. Hurricane and King Cobra are about the same but I think Hurricane tastes a little beter... I'd give Hurricane 5 of 10 Swills.

Hurricane is a great "entry level" malt liquor. At 5.9% ABV, it is certainly not in the same league as a HG like Steel 211 or stronger ML's. Only slightly stronger than regular beer, a 40 is roughly like knocking back 4 Buds (or whateven non-discript American beer you like). Of course, doing it in under 10 minutes on an empty stomach, you can expect a slight buzz, but you better have a backup or two standing by to keep it going. At $1.39 for a 40, it certainly represents good value. The light golden color is pleasing to the eye. The foam/carbonation is about what you should expect. Mouth feel is very smooth. The taste is nothing special and rather inoffensive (read: easy to drink), perhaps a touch to the sweet side. Since you can kick this 40 back in just a few minutes, the swill should still be cold and has no foul characteristics. The buzz factor is ok, but nothing compared to a good HG. The "Brace For Smooth Taste" is not false advertising. I think what has drawn me to Hurricane is the constant put-down by "public health experts" who often refer to it as "liquid crack." These are people who need to get a life. Overall, I like this stuff. One thing A-B brings to the table is consistancy. You know what to expect and are never let down. The "Born On" date is a hoot, too. I give this a solid 8/10. Not the best for sure, but like an old friend who can be counted on for a quick jolt to improve any day whenever the need arises.

I just cracked one of these last nights, and I was pleasently pleased, in my opinion a very good malt. Very reliable, not the greatest of buzz's obviosly, but still a smooth taste, a 40 that you can just really pound down. I enjoyed this a lot, I'd give it, 8/10, however, my malt liquor tongue hasnt been introduced to a wide variety of 40s so this isnt based on a comparison of hundreds of 40s.

It is one of the cheaper 40oz's available but I enjoy Country Club and King Cobra much more than this malt. It's hard to explain exactally why, it just tastes really cheap and has a bitter almost dirty aftertaste. I'm not a fan

My 40 of choice in college - we'd get 3 of them for $5 in our local W. Philly ghetto deli. Wide mouth for easy chuggin, and weak enough to get the ladies to drink it, and strong enough to f' them up!

Two was all I needed back then to get decently buzzed, and these did the trick. It's not a bad taste, it just kinda like...you crack it open and taste it and its not great, but then you start drinking and every sip gets better, then you're in love with it and cant wait to crack open the other. Its like a relationship you know isnt good for you, but you keep going back for more, and it feels great.

Cost me less then 2US$. Dude at the cash was cool and all telling me my quest for Colt 45 in upper NY was definitly going to end up not achieved. Which was the case. Hurricane is by far my favorite US malt along with King Cobra that I can get within a radius of 200km. It cracked and hissed nice. Had the same taste as the last time. Provided an ok buzz that suggested the consumption of a 2nd 40. This is a civilized malt liquor.

I used to see them around three places just a year ago and now only at one so thought I'd take one before it was gone. First taste is more like an ice beer than a malt liquor, that kind of sweet spiked beer taste. When it says brace for the smooth taste, its not that nice vaguely syrupy Colt 45 taste, it just means its smoother than most malt liquors, like a smooth ice beer really. The stuff is consistently good from first sip to last drop. Yields a slightly better buzz than I expected for its alcohol content, can't explain that. This bottle cost me an exorbitant $2.63, so I probably won't have it again for awhile, but it was a nice drinking experience. 4/10 for buzz and 7/10 for taste, averaging out to a nice 6/10 swills!

I'm looking foward to 3 more years of drinking Hurricane here at college with my buds, should be madd fun. 9 Swills out of 10 bitch. Remember: There's Always Another Hurricane on the Horizon

Have not had this in a while. I actually picked this up in Rockport Tx which is about an hour and 40 minutes from where I live. Last time I had Hurricane in a 40 was a few years ago, so I've been hesitant to Post a review. BOD is 1/23/2008. I have to say this is a damn good 40. Obviously this can be compared to its brother King Cobra, but I find that the Cane is a little smoother and not as sweet as KC. Seems to have a little more carbonation too, which I like. The last time I had it was in 16oz cans which I also got in the Rockport/Corpus area. AB isn't bullshitting when they say Brace for the smooth taste" Shit is hella smooth. I drink a shit load of King Cobras, but in all honestly, I wish they would replace KC with the Hurricane. Overall 8.5 swills. Buzz factor is a little weak so only 6.5 swills. Drinkability is awesome so I give it 9.0 swills. Gonna have to take a little road trip to get a few more of these.

Posts: 3437 (05/23/08 10:04 PM) Moderator Not all swills are created equal Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	First off a huge shout out to the 40oz King Bruz for the hook up on this 40 that I have never seen on the West Coast. "Brace for the smooth taste" is the slogan and it is very true. This tastes very cllose to King Cobra, just a bit lighter tasting, and since I love King Cobra im really digging this brew. Easy to chug down and it stayed cold the whole way. If this 40 was sold in the Redding area i would have to rotate it in to my King Cobra drinking, that is istead of 2 KCs a week it would be 1 KC and 1 Hurricane. Buzz is there but I would need two of these to keep it going. Taste 9/10 Buzz 5/10 Overall 7/10. Pretty damn good 40! Thanks Bruz

It's better tasting than Keystone Ice and Red Bull and the rest of that usual bunch of higher gravity beers for gettin' your whoop on ... Got 3 of these tonight ... 2 for now and 1 for tommorow or whenever... Has a decent smooth and slightly sweet taste/finish with respectable carbonation ... The buzz is pretty good ... I gotta say ... better than I expected... and keep in mind, I am normally a complete beer snob/geek, drinking top shelf micro-brews and Belgian&European brews ... I can afford better stuff but there is a certain 'zen' in getting a couple 40'z of Hurricane across the street and just kickin' back with it and listening to some good jam-rock or whatever and maybe enjoying some herbs ... Highly recommended .

I drank one tonight and enjoyed it thoroughly. It's not especially strong and you won't get much of a buzz off of it but it's like an OE where it tastes great and you can guzzle it down with zero problems. Great taste all the way down. Awesome 40 that's all there is to it.

They do give you a born on date, but the accuracy can definitely be questioned. the buzz is solid, same as an OE as the alcohol percent is 5.9. a great 40 to chill and swig on, two and you got a very solid buzz going. the label is nothing special but gets the job done. Personally I'd consider it a very slightly upgraded OE, but there are much better 40's out that are the same or similar percent alcohol, such as red bull Schlitz and king cobra. over all id give it a 5/10 for the label, 7/10 for the buzz and 9/10 for the taste, with out a doubt a good pick up for a chill night.
