Bruz: 10%: Just like the Evil Eye Red, this cracks great & immediately unleashes a gross smell. But at least you can smell apple - even if it IS dirty apple. 1st sip... OH MAN!! This is like sour green ASS! So bad. You can taste "sour apple" but, like the smell, mixed with dirt. Gave my father a taste & he exclaimed "OH GROSS! HOLY SHIT! UGH!!" Hahaha... Eating this crap with some beef stew. And now a Kit-Kat. Starting to get used to the taste & it is tasting more like just green apple (sans dirt)... but I'm not a huge fan of green apple flavored products anyway, so it's not gonna sway my rating - even if you love sour green apple flavor, who can joyfullly drink 40 ounces of it? My dad's comment: "That'll probably give you the runs!" Hahaha This 40 sucks & I don't want to finish it but I must. I just burped & some bile went into my throat. Contains ginseng, FD&C blue #1 & yellow #5 (the same stuff in Mountain Dew that supposedly makes you sterile). Speaking of bile, that's what the swill tastes like. Finishing this up while watching The Ultimate Fighter. Just like the EE Red, no buzz - what is it with these fruity EEs not giving me a buzz at 10% alcohol? Is there something in the production of them, making them "fruity & colorful" that counteracts the high alcohol content? 1/10 swills, but at least this one tasted like its respective flavor, unlike the EE Red. I never want to drink either again. Much props out to MyLiverHurts for hookin me up with this very cool - and #400 - addition to my collection (and ders0 for the brown bottle)!

8%: I will say this - this supposed "New Great Taste" does indeed taste like sour apple... sans the "dirt" this time around too. There's no harsh alcohol taste. So they succeeded in what they were going for. However, it still sucks horribly. EE Sour would be best suited in a 24oz can or 22oz bottle. I can't imagine anyone in the whole wide world wanting to drink more than that much of this stuff at one time. Personally, I wouldn't even want a 12oz of it. Forcing myself through 40 ounces of this stuff was not fun. I hate sour apple, it's my least favorite flavor for a drink with grape being a close second. Jungle Joose is 9.9% alc/vol but that sour apple flavor was even worse, somehow. Doesn't matter. EE Sour whether it's 10%, 8%, 9.9%, with caffeine or without, in 12oz or 40oz, with or without the flavor of dirt and/or alcohol in it, still deserves only a 1/10 swills. At best.

2/16/10 havinafett: I've been putting this off for a while.
Partly because I only had one of these, a wide mouth, and I wanted to keep it full because it looks awesome. Once I got a small mouth I knew one of them had to die.
Just for the experience. It could be worse though. This is the 8% as I never got my hands on a 10%. I don't know what that crap was like, but the consensus seems to be it was worse, so I'm kind of thankful I missed the boat on that.

Drinking this on a sunday afternoon while starting to pack some shit up for a move.
Big crack, first impression, pretty gross, but seemingly not unbearable. Just tastes like sour apple jolly ranchers with a little bit of booze thrown in. The fucking aftertaste though is horrendous.

Not getting worse really, but definitely not getting any better.
Mrs. Fett says she can smell the sour apple.
Not sure whether thats the stench emanating from the bottle itself, or the gross burps I'm doing that are the result of this.

The question that keeps popping into my head is why?
Why a fucking 40 of this?
Is it really necessary? It's almost like its a sick joke.
Like they know how horrendous this is in such a quantity, and fuck you for going with a 40 of it. Yeah we make it, but you're the stupid shit thats going to drink it.
Sort of like a joke company selling some gag food that tastes how farts smell. But instead of something small like a jelly bean its a hungry man dinner.

Goddamn the aftertaste is the stinger.

Took me an hour to drink it. Shit sucks.

I do have a slight buzz, but its not good.
Its just insulting.

I'm trying to figure out whether this is now the worst 40 I've ever had, the worst so far being the 10.2% Pit Bull HG. While that was awful, it did kick my ass, unlike this filth. And it did only taste like a terrible HG and not some abortion of a candy-alcohol hybrid.

I've decided. It is the worst thus far when viewed from all angles.

1/10 and thats just because if you leave this bottle full it looks sick.

Thanks to ders0 for the wide I drank, and 1sts13 for the small which will remain full forever, unable to harm anyone else.

9/2/09 ders0: 8.0%: Well this is the "new great taste". And yes, it is somewhat better. I have drank the 10% more times than I would like to admit (people needed the brown bottle for collections and wanted it empty). This version has more apple flavor and less vomit taste. It is still nowhere near good or desirable though. This 40 took me well over an hour to finish. I fucked around on the forum a little and watch the season finale of weeds while drinking this. Same deal as last time really. It starts out not so bad and you think whatever I'll get through this, and then you just getting fucking sick of it an depressed. Hate this 40.

10%: This is the worst forty ever. Tastes like apples mixed with barf. Offers a decent buzz though. I made my brother take pics cause this is the last time i will ever have one of these in my hand.

8/24/09 40zForSatan: 8.0%: I knocked out an EE red a couple weeks ago and I've been real hesitant about this one. I cracked it and took a whiff, smelled like a jolly rancher. I'll give it props, it doesn't have such a strong bitter bland sensation as evil eye red, and it hits the green apple flavor perfect, but why would you want 40 fucking ounces of this concoction? I was done by the time I hit the top of the label and force myself through the rest, my first thoughts were actually complimenting the drink, but then it just became overpowering. Drinking this 40 was definitely an uphill battle, I hope I never have to do it again, if I end up getting this in WM I don't think I'm going to open it.

Taste: 7/10 (it hit what it was going for perfect, but just too much)
Buzz: 8/10 (I had a couple "good beers" before it and wasn't feeling much, now I've got a good buzz happening but a headache is already forming)
Label: 9/10 (this 40 is PISSED and it lets you know right away)
Swill: 1/10 (I made it this far and had to stop taking large gulps and just slam the end of it, you can only take so much)
Overal: 5/10

7/31/09 SouthLyon40s: I am not looking forward to this. Not at all. I don't necessarily hate the smell of sour apple... but it's definitely something you don't really wanna smell when you crack 40 ounces of liquid that you'll be attempting to drink in the shortest amount of time possible.

First sip. Not good. My mouth is slimed. This is gonna be an adventure. Ice cold right now... I don't want to imagine it getting warm. However the idea of slamming this thing ultra fast is equally unappealing. This is the "new great taste" variant, with the ABV bumped down to 8%.

At the label right now. Still can't really "taste" the alcohol. It literally tastes like melted sour apple jolly ranchers... with the same liquid consistency you'd expect from melted candy.

[At this point, I jumped on Xbox live, and only came back to my computer to write whatever random thought I had about the 40 between Modern Warfare rounds]

Straight liquor breath.

Way too much. Sick of this so long ago.

This is awful. I just don't want it any more.

I want it to be finished and I want to move on with my life.

This 40 offends me for what it is.

New Great Taste! Go fuck yourself.

And as you can probably tell, my enjoyment of this 40 basically started at 0 and spiraled downward from there. Jesus fucking Christ this was awful. I'm re-approaching this review the morning after drinking this, and I'm not forgetting how much I hated this. For every reason. 40 ounces of sour apple alcohol. Who in their right mind would want THAT MUCH? Who is this marketed to? This isn't a chick drink... no girl could stomach something like this for so long. Why does this exist?

Not being a fan of "mixed drinks" probably didn't help me going into this, but I can imagine even if you did appreciate them somewhat you'd have a hard time with this. First sip, I didn't exactly "like" it... I could take it or leave it. By the label I was tired of it. By the middle I just wished for ANYTHING ELSE. At the bottom I wished for death. I thoroughly washed my mouth out with water afterward. You just get SO FUCKING SICK of sour apple. It's a flavor not meant for that much liquid, much less alcoholic liquid.

And let's talk buzz. It's weird. And it's not good. I spent the first half soldiering through it with no alcoholic affects, even though it's a decent 8 percent. And then I started getting weird liquor breath. By the end I was breathing straight fumes. The only thing I can compare it to would be taking six full shots of vodka, and chasing it with slimy apple cough syrup. Heart racing from 40 ounces of sugar and who the fuck knows what else. Blue and Yellow food coloring. Ended up not really drunk or buzzed, just hating my life and all apples everywhere.

I usually don't go into this much detail but this 40 was something else.

I know lots of people consider keeping it full to show off the weird color. They always end up drinking it... and regretting it. I'm kind of in the same boat... but drinking it almost seems "worthwhile" - just going through that whole ordeal.

Thanks out to ders0 in MN for the 40.... I think...

7/5/09 91firebird: I finally got the infamous Evil Eye Sour from my man ders0 up in Minnesota. This a 40 I've wanted for a long time but really never had a desire to drink it lol. I contemplated keeping it full because the color looks like toxic waste but 40's are meant to be drank. I cracked this and it did produce a wicked crack and hiss. The smell is a combo of sour apple jolly ranchers and paint thinner. I took a real good pull and wasn't really impressed. I really have no clue as to who would want to drink 40 ounces of this stuff. I think the ideal serving for this would be a 22oz. This stuff gets real warm quick so it forces you to choke it down which is not a good thing. I finished this thing in about 35 minutes. The swill was rough and my stomach hurt like hell afterwards. The buzz is pretty good, although its different than your typical beer buzz. Overall this gets a 5/10. The taste is about 2/10 the bottle and coolness factor really help this one out lol

4/22/09 BigJandthe40: I got this from ders0, thanks man
We had a heat wave down here in the bay, it was 97 degrees yesterday, so I figured this would cool me off. I was so wrong, it was like liquid candy, every time I would take a long pull from the bottle I would get a sick feeling. I should have listened to White Mike and saved it full for my collection, but I had to try it. This was my least favorite, I had this then killed a Camo Silver then I blackout I wouldnt drink this again 4/10 for being a cool ass label, hangover on the other hand super high 8/10

12/24/08 LMSCRacer: I should have taken WM's advice and just leave the bottle full. This 40 just flat out sucked. I can still taste it as I type this 12 hours later. Decent enough crack and hiss but it ends there. The smell is pure chemical. The taste is not really sour; more just bad. I'm glad I didn't try to do a vid as it took me the better part of an hour to down this junk.

I know never is a long time, but I will NEVER drink another 40 of this stuff unless it comes with a big pay check.

1/10 swills but only because of the 10% ABV.

Alvin Karpis: Big thanks to JoeWebberlione for the Evil Eye Sour hook up. Big crack and small hiss. Took a whif and almost threw up. First taste was horrible. I cant belive that someone in quality control tasted this and approved it for sale. I thought that mabey at the half way mark it would start tasting better, this was not the case. I really had to power through this 40 just to finish it. I think orentha had the best analogy. A green apple Jolly Rancher dipped in puke. I could handle the EEred because it tasted like wine. This tasted like death. Taste 0/10 Buzz Who cares? You could drink gasoline to get a buzz, but your not going to stoop down to that level, why anybody would ever drink this more then once would baffle me. Overall 1/10 because of the cool lokking bottle for the collection. A word of advice, Stay Away! Thanks Joe

BIGMAN4206: Ok this crack is good cept for my friends bottle that's got like a rusty cap? Oh well! The smell of apples mixed with scum is filling my kitchen its kinda funny as my boy reminds me of his first EVIL EYE experience! Anyways bottles up what's up! First hit kinda makes me gag! But I say oh well and continue! Half way through aand my partner is faced cuz he just started drinkin but I'm fine! Get to tha bottom and it taste like its at room temp? Pure trash this is! My friends actions make up for me drinkinn this! A for presentation nuclear green but F for everything else! Next time I drink this it will be for money!

DC40s: Christ.

Tastes like death.

hardxcorejihadist: okay I'm only 18 years old but I've been drinking for at least the last 7 years... my first forty was magnum ...lol anyway.. i absolutely adore evil eye sour... the first time i had it my boyfriend brought it home on spring break from college (along with some other tasty treats). i to this point had only had evil eye original.... anyway when i cracked it open and was instantly in love... the green apple goodness filled the void that once was my life. the taste was amazing...and the best part was no after taste .... (because the girl that i am i usually have to have a chaser..even with beer.) I give this 40 8 out of 10 because it tastes so good; the swill was pretty good too, a 8 out of 10 as well.

JoeWebberlione: Had my first one of my case just a few nites ago. Decent crack to it, smelled like a green apple puckers, first sip made me think of a granny smith apple and a few sips into it I realized this shit is just like candy flavored alcohol, a bitch drink if you will (only much stronger), so for that factor I have to say this shit is pretty good cause I'm sure if you gave it to a chick, it would be instint access to the panties, I'll have to try it real soon. The buzz factor deffinately is there, and it left me with one of the worst hang overs I've had in a long time. 6 outta 10 swills.

orentha: This tastes like a green apple jolly rancher dipped in puke.
Produced a near zero buzz, which like Bruz said, is surprising for a 10%>br? The color of this 40 was very unique though. looked radioactive.
I'd give it 3/10

sippin apache: Thanks to JoeWebber for sending this.

As the other 2 ojo malo, the clear small mouth are awesome looking with and outrageously cool label. I like the fact there's spanish on it too.

Lets get down to business right away, and let me tell you now, it's nasty all the way starting from here.

The crack was loud but the brew hardly hissed or carbonate. I smelled it at first cuz fruities usually smell good. This smelled like filth. Had to get a second opinion just to make sure I wasnt trippin'. It smells like garbage. And tastes like something bad, not sure what, definitly no malt and/or apples.

I was pretty cold to start with but became warm rapidly. I proceded to pound it at lightening speed before shit got ugly. Started tasting something like apple a about half way through and 10 minutes into it. At this point started to get a buzz and felt the burning of the alcohol in my throat and chest.

As for the review it stops here. I'll go finish pounding the 40 and have a pretty agressive buzz like I usually get from Ojo Malo.

Collection wise 10/10 Ojo malo is one of my favorite collectible, specially when you display all 3 next to one another.

Buzz: 8.5/10 Very good buzz factor if you can get it down fast.

Taste: 0/10 I will never buy this if it becomes available, even if I come across it in a US trip a malt that tastes like apple. If I want apple I'll get Minute Maid or a MacKintosh.

Last time anyone is going to see me do this:

White Mike: Worst 40 ever. Ive drank plenty of nasty stuff from old 40's with chunks in the bottom, to long island ice tea in a bottle found in bum ass liquor stores.

But I could not drink this

The smell, the taste, the color

It all makes me want to gag. I'm pissed I even cracked this, I should have left it full to display on the shelf cause the nuclear green color is wild.
