Bruz: 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." Thanks out to detroitfourtyouncer for the brown bottle!

662: 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

211 Swilla: This malt will kill you. It's megafied in strength and is hands down the boldest 40 on the market. Its got a tough looking label on the outside and an equally aggressive malt inside. It's sweet, reminiscent of low quality hard cider- i could hardly detect the HG factor by taste, but I certainly felt it- I was left swilled out with a raging headache. 8/10 swills for drinkability and blur factor

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.

40ozcasualty: 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.

AK40seven: 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.

beam21: Background is I'm going in remembering this as the worst 40 ever aside from Rockhead and maybe OEHG; let's find out... Cap was kind of tough, crack was average. I don't know how to date Camos but from the #s on the bottle my best guess is 6/05. Questionable. 1st impression: not as bad as I remember it but not great, kind of like Lucky# 7-11 in a can. Aftertaste is rough. Smells extra rough. The flavor is bad, but not that strong, quite possibly b/c the 40 is super cold. It's burning my esophagus like a pit bull fart. This is some thick ass malt with a really fucking weird mouthfeel; I think that may be what the 'extra smooth' on the bottle refers to. A little over halfway down and it actually tastes better than it did at the start; I think my mouth is coated b/c the aftertaste is still real bad news. This HG is not to be trusted. Temperature is thankfully holding steady as I delve into that swill. The pinger is pretty abrasive on the gullet but not as foul as I expected, strong boozy flavor but not much else. Done in ~40 minutes, it wasn't great but I entirely enjoyed it actually. I was sad to be done and tipped it over 90 degrees to shake out the last drops. It's a load off my back to tackle one of my most feared 40s years after the fact and actually kinda like it. I'm buzzed big time and overall confused by the experience. Taste was average but very consistent, belly feels battered; I will drink this again for sure and will probably hate it. When I give Camo HG 7/10, it is definitely to be taken with a grain of salt b/c i don't trust it for a second. Taste: C+ Buzz: A but I'll report you you motherfucker if you do me wrong again

beerstud: 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.

BrainDamage702: 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 !

Buzzcore: 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.

clamum: Despite my friends' reactions to Camo, it's actually not THAT bad. I find that if I drink it down quick it's not bad, but if I leave the shit in my mouth for very long it's pretty nasty.

Definitely drink the shit ice cold otherwise you'll spit it out. And at 8.5% alcohol content, a 40 gets me pleasantly buzzed. Picked this badass 40 up for $1.99. Two bucks and a damn good buzz, and not too bad of taste? 8/10

Dave Kozy: I drank one on sunday for the sabboth. Man it took me two hours to finish and still got a buzz. I got a headache too. It's like ghetto wine or really cheap liquor - gave me a damn hangover while I was still drinking it. Put it back in the fridge so it stayed cold and wasn't hard to finish. Guess it just comes flat even though I had to use pliers to get the cap off. Won't be getting this one again for a while. Bad taste good buzz 6 outta 10 chugs.

ders0: This was a pretty rough forty but thats to be expected. I froze it for a bit before drinking it so it would be nice and cold. The swigs were rough at first but as you get into it it's not so bad. I'd still probably rather just drink a Ides though, I'd probably choose this over the Bull Ice HG though. Good buzz afterwards.

dj oe 800: didn't enjoy the taste too much, although it's not like it was st. ides or anything. didn't have a harsh edge to it, either. the thing that i found interesting about this one was the fact that the buzz crept up on me; i had this at my friend's twenty-fifth birthday party at dinner, so my stomach was full, yet when i finished it i was pretty considerably buzzed.

about two hours later i got halfway into an mgd 40 and while i didn't feel all that drunk, i was slurring like crazy and embarassing myself. although i'm pretty sure i blazed with my housemate somewhere along the line.

as far as taste and buzz go, i prefer camo hg's big brother, silver ice.

Drastic Mezures: 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

elantrax: 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.

Four Teas: I don't really know where to begin when discussing the CAMO HG. Perhaps I might start with a simple observation: it is horrible. Why anyone would swill this trash on the reg is beyond the likes of me. With so many malt options out there, I think most who drink CAMO are confused by its multi-colored label and faux-military look. It really is terrible junk which does not deserve your buzz or your $1.99. It tastes and smells very bad, like isopropyl alcohol mixed with latex rubber.

I've had 40s of Camo HG more than once, to be fair. I don't like it; it produces a decent buzz but it is not pleasant to drink and therefore I'd advise any malt hunter to seek his fortune elsewhere, as products like the 211 and Olde E will generate a much more enjoyable experience overall, to include an equal or better buzz factor. The fact that it has a bitchin' label does not change the fact that the poison inside is rank. CAMO is bad. 5/10 because a) there are worse out there and b) it will get you buzzed for real.

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

ImissMy64oz: to me the camo tasted like a miller high life mixed with rubbing alcohol
I think it tastes better than the 211 but burns my asphogos, tracheia, and larynx. (however you spell those shits)
Ill only drink camo if i feel like going buckwild
The night i drank the camo i also had a hurricane 40 3 grenades of mickeys ice and a 6 pack of magnum
surprisingly i had no hangover
i think all the malts offset each other and canceled a hangover out
plus it does have a camoflauge label
ill give it 8 outa 10 just because it sits as king of the malts for now
not bad for being so strong shits on the 211, mx, and st. ides best high volume beer

JoeWebberlione: Got this one thanks to my buddy Dukesplace. Just had some meatloaf so hopefully it wont ruin my Camo HG experience. This has a kick ass label by the way, ok here we go. Decent crack, although not much fizz although is that much to complain about? First sip, smooth & sweet, alot like St. Ides. It's packing a pretty decent buzz for not even half way through but then again that may have something to due with the fact that I've been up since 3pm yesterday and its now 8:11PM. Taste an A- Buzz A+ & swill I give a sold B. Over all 8 & a half out of 10 swills gets an extra swill for the bad ass label!

John Holmes: 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.

Kool EJ: I opted for this instead of the Silver Ice version, cuz I could only smuggle so many 40's back from Allentown, PA when I went to see pops for Father's Day. He was like "What the f*ck?!" when I came out of the beer store with a sack fulla malt liquor!

But I digress, I didn't find this as bad as most people were saying here. I guess I have a taste for HG's and most types of higher alcohol beers (Belgian style ales, etc. - Try Victory Golden Monkey if you're into that kind of thing, you won't be disappointed).

I drank this before going out for Dubwar 6 last night (www.dubwarnyc.com) and it really helped to kickstart my night & to avoid paying exorbitant drink prices at the venue (Avalon). I swilled it while spinning old skool jungle records for my boys, so I wasn't paying too close attention while drinking it. I was actually drinking kind of slow since I was spinning, so I had to chug a number of times to keep up with everyone, which wasn't a problem. Drank it down to the last drop!

Overall rating: 7 out of 10 swigs. Didn't f*ck me up as bad as St. Ides (which is slightly lower ABV), but did the job nonetheless.

LMSCRacer: Another pick up from the Toledo OH area. Just finished this bad boy and want to enter this before possibly blacking out.

This 40 started out bad, but somehow after a few sips it didn't seem so bad after all. A friend who came over to watch football commented that it looked like piss in a bottle. I ignored both his comments and the lousy taste and soldiered on. Once I got by the initial few sips, I actually started to like this stuff. Poured a little in a glass and it actually laced a bit. Yes, the last quarter tasted like rubbing alcohol, but since I am not blind, is that so bad? The label alone is worth a couple swills in the rating. I will drink this again. My only advice is chill this bitch down as cold as possible and have it wear a skirt to avoid the piss comments.

Overall - Buzz factor - 9.5/10; Taste 7/10 (get over those first few sips!)

millerlite12ozSucks: Needed some 40s to play darts, saw this shit had 8.5% booze and went nuts. Me and my homey pounded these tasty beverages in one game of cricket. Definitely one of the smoothest and yummiest malts I've had. Shit put us on our asses, and passed out on toilet after two more.

NoFaux40s: This is a 40 to be fuckin' reckoned with. With an ABV this high I wouldn't care if it tasted like piss-water outta the toilet, but it sure as hell doesn't. This shit is damn tasty and the alcohol burn is barely noticeable. Overall a damn good tasting, smooth sippin, high-octane 40. I give it 10/10 swills even though the last sip of foam tastes so goddamn bitter. I recommend this one to everyone.

OldeGoldSwilla: Finally tried the green label camo last night. It was aweful. I must say that I pwersonally found it harder to drink that Evil Eye, Steel, Ides, OE HG, or Bull Ice. It made me laugh when I read "extra smooth" and "super premium" on the label. This stuff tastes like it has been made with the lowest quality ingredients possible. taste 4/10 buzz 8/10

pman433: good shit i like em drank 2 then a40 of oe then a 22 of bud was ripped 3 hours late to work smooth taste nice srength 8 of 10 swigs

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...

satan165: 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

Sgt JMo: 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!!!!

SouthLyon40s: Alright. Camo High Gravity Lager. Just finished a dinner of fried potatoes and ham left over from New Years.

Aimlessly drove around Brighton and South Lyon tonight because that's what I do when I get bored and all my friends are back up at school. So I drove by this out of the way liquor store I hardly ever visit just to see what they have.

What the hell. I'll try Camo HG. Threw it in the freezer for half an hour. Just cracked it about 10 minutes ago and have now gotten it below the label.

This is gonna be a play-by-play as I drink this... becuase... let's face it. I don't really have anything better to do tonight.

Alright I forgot about this and was watching the Office on TV. I'm about a little bit below the label and I swear to god, just like Camo Silver Ice it has this horrible wine aftertaste once it gets above sub-zero temperature. Unlike like strong alcohol-content malts that taste like beer with an afterthough of wine, this tastes like wine disguised as beer.

Moving toward the swill. I am telling myself I need to finish this before I get a cigarette. Like motivation. The buzz is decent but for the taste really not worth it.

Ugh god that fucking wine taste. I seriously hate it.

Alright I dunno if this is even a buzz anymore or this thing just throws me to straight up drunk.

No the fucking wine taste I fucking hate it.

TempesT68: Not the best of the malts but at 8.5 alcohol its pretty damn smooth. it gets really nasty in the last 1/4 of the 40's but you usally have a good buzz by then so you can get past that

ThUgWiGGa: i really like
it sweet and not too bad
swill-wise about as bad as king cobra swill
i like this malt way more cuz its buzzzin me hardcore
this review is hard to type
mad backspacin up in this bitch
camo is good
it doesnt taste bad
swill is as bearable as a normal low % malt
i love it
8/10

Tiger Tai: 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...

Vile Fiend: First off I gotta say Beam21's story fucking kicks ass and we can all relate to somethin similar I'm sure

Secondly, I just drank a 40 of Camo HG, it sucked no doubt, but wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The 40 was far more pleasant than the 24's I've drank. The buzz is pretty hardcore, drank it in about 40 minutes. Watchin 'The Aviator', got the volume blastin cuz niggers that live above me are bein loud. Alright movie, alright brew. I'm pleasantly pleased with the buzz though. Can't remember the last time I've felt this buzzed off of 1 40 before.

5/10 taste, 9/10 buzz. Much better than I was expecting actually. I'm gunna have to drink a 40 of Silver Ice now to figure out which buzz & taste is bettter. This buzz is really strong, much better than the few Silver Ices I've drank, and the taste was defintly tolerable. Overall, I'd give this 40 a 7/10.

White Mike: 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
