Bruz: 8.0%: Although I was supposed to be studying for my series 7 license tonight, I just couldn't concentrate anymore, having studied all day. I also just got done eating the #1 cheese steak in central Jersey (as voted by a local newspaper) so did not exactly have an empty stomach going into this. The initial taste was not impressive, it was a kind of "thick" taste. I just noticed an image of an "8 of Hearts" playing card on the inside of the cap; I have no idea what this is supposed to mean?! It's really hard putting this 40 down right now cuz I ordered a "whole" cheese steak which was pretty much the size of 2 normal size cheese steaks (but I only ate 3/4s of it). The 40 seems to be getting worse the more I get into it, becoming very warm very quickly & with that, a little more bitter & stronger in taste. Reminds me a lot of Magnum. But of course a true swilla like myself (unlike our door-to-door knife selling buddy & one-beer-queer Travis) can handle anything. This malt (excuse me, "high gravity lager") has a kind-of reddish-brown hue to it. The swill isn't exactly worse than the beginning, but IS different... it seems to almost have a cinnamon taste to it. Ok, nevermind, the last & warmest of the swill tastes like what I imagine human urine would taste, but don't take my word for it, ask Travis for his expertise - I'm guessing he knows what pee tastes like. Slight buzz factor & awesome label yield this a whopping 4/10 swills. Thanks out to Tiger Tai for the hook up on this piece! 6.0%: 2 nights ago I drank a few brews at some dinner/dance party, those being the first beers I had in over a one week period, due to my recent cold. So naturally I've been aching for a 40. And this has been my first one since I got sick. Therefore, it was pure bliss to drink. But in reality, it was a basic, slightly above average, malt. VERY MUCH like Colt 45! I can't think of one difference actually... except that "Colt 45" is a bigger & more classic name. Therefore I give this decent Colt-ripoff 7/10 swills. Thanks out to shizzaun for this one! |

4TDogg: Nasty looking dog on the label, high gravity - I'm thinking hell yeah when i first saw this during an outing down in MD. Was not disapointed neither. Had the tell-tale bitterness that comes with the territory when you go high gravity, but was otherwise quite drinkable. Excellent buzz factor 8 of 10. |

Buzzcore: Much thanks to DC40s for hooking me up with this direct from B-town. According to the label, it is both a "malt liquor" as well as a "high gravity lager" even though it is only 6%. Not that specific gravity really has to have anything to do with %, it usually does. Anyway, the first few sips had me thinking this tasted alright, but by the time I got down to the label, I had realized that this was a rather odd tasting malt. Never could figure out what tasted weird about it, and don't really care. It wasn't anything special, and I couldn't keep it cold, even though it was in my freezer for two days prior to drinking it........... and the label is so bootleg lookin' it's not even funny. It's just plain bad looking. It does have a cool looking cap though, and like everyone talks about, you get a "card" on the inside of your cap so you can see who's gonna' draw low and get stuck buying the next round. I got a nine of hearts, but since no one else I was hangin' out with had another Pit Bull, I say big fucking deal. Maybe I'm jaded since all I've been doing is drinking Canadian 40s lately, but this 40 gets a 4/10 because it's nothing really special. |

DC40s: I kinda like this 6% 40. It is in the same family as Colt 45, and to a lesser extent, Coqui 900. Tastes pretty good, and yields a mild buzz. It also makes me want to eat pizza, which I'm now going to do. Thanks to shizzaun for telling me about Meads Liquor (ghetto ass liquor store with a fuckin' website!). And, this ONLY COST $1.50. |

dj oe 800: you know what? i LIKE the label on this one. i haven't had a pitbull in a while, but i remember the taste, while not as good as your average malt, being at the very least managable. goes down really smooth and gives you a decent buzz. again, because i live in PA, the cheapest i've been able to find this was 2.75 at a pizza place in pottstown, but because it's the cheapest (actually it's cost ties with hurricane at the same place) with the most kick (6%, as i recall) i get this shit whenever i'm in pottstown. |

dollazz: Pitbull What? weakest crack ever. ring didnt detach from the cap. no hiss at all.
shit looks flat. the dog on the label looks fucking retarded. whats wrong w/ its eyes? swillin up to the label. its still pretty decent. no taste really. its not flat, but its not super carbonated. its a good balance. no change halfway down.
even the swill, same shit, no big deal. no taste. Pit Bull is cool. i like it. i want to drink it every day. Pitbull owns. |

drunkenbird611: ok,my first pit had a crack in the cap,and it tasted like shit,so I had to try another,to see if the crack made it taste like shit............ ok,this time it was colder and the cap was in perfect shape,the card under my cap was a King of Hearts(not that that mattered).Ok first taste...reminded me of my first taste of beer ever,kinda good and kinda not,don't get me wrong this shit taste better this time,then last,but its still one mean tasting 40,i would never make this a regular 40......the only good thing was it had the same taste from crack to swill...so I originally thought it was gonna have an ass-nasty tasting swill,but it wasn't too bad,ok since its 8%,i'll give it about a 5/10 swills since its a "high gravity lager...malt liquor" |

JoeWebberlione: A couple of friends of mine lived near this huge liquor store, infact one of them even worked there. They had a usual selection of 40's Olde English, St. Ides, Mickeys, Colt 45, Haffenreffer Private Stock, Bull Ice, King Cobra & I think maybe a couple others I dont remember which ones exactly. Anyways, they also had Pit Bull & the best part was it was only $.89 a bottle!!!! So me & my boys got a couple of cases for that price! Not too bad, remember it being pretty smooth, if I remember correctly this bottle cap was hard to twist off (one of the problems I every so often seem to have with Mickey's) but back to the Pit Bull, this shit isnt that bad. Unfortunately they just had it up at the store for promotion or some shit. Some sort of clearance sale. But my buddy was telling me that right before they stopped selling it there they had a Pit Bull give away on the radio where they were just giving pit bull away for free... DAMN WHY COULDNT I HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING?!? Eiather way I give this malt 6 out of 10 swills. |

OldeGoldSwilla: Just swilled my rirst Pitt Bull this weekend. ! paid 1.35 plus tax!!! This is the least expensice 40oz I have ever purchased. It has a cool label and all of the caps have pictures of different playing cards ( a unique feature). I enjoed this malt quite a bit. Although it makes me laugh that it is called a high gravity lager and is only 6%. Nonethe less I liked it a lot especially the price!! If I had pitt bull at a store near me I would probally buy it a lot. also has anyone else noticed the yellow writing on the back of the label? Says, " Play the Game" has a picture of some cards and then says, "Draw Card Under the Cap". It's pretty cool in a Bud Ice Cold Cash sort of way although there is no money or prize to be won--you just get playing cards under the cap. |

satan165: A rare 40, not available outside Baltimore, this was thrown in as a free gift by my man drunkenbird611 after numerous problems in shipping me my Colt 45 Double Malt.
The Double Malt I got with this was a total disappointment. Luckily, the Pitbull did not go the same route. My first impression was that this is a totally unique malt. It tastes malty like a Wildcat. The buzz is exactly what I would like to get from all 40s. Drank the bitch while watching Fast and the Furious 2 and the movie just ended. I'm feeling quite warm and nice and got eh oven heating for a pizza. I pissed hardcore once half way and again just now. Usually 40s don't effect my piss factor too much but this killed me. This is a great 40, one of the best tasting HG's around. ![]() |

sippin apache: Thanks DC40's for the hookup. Got this in a cool Get in the game Pit Bull brown paper bag. The 40 looks cool and the brew is inviting, a light straw colour. There was no crack as it does not have a ring on the caps, just like bowes 40s, the hiss was decent though, loudest ive heard in awhile. 1st sipp went all the way down to the label. Not surprisingly, as I suspected, the brew actually tastes good, mild dry taste, no aftertaste at all and refreshing. Not what you would expect from a HG Malt Liquor, as mentionned on the label. It is slightly carbonated and keeps a head all the way through the 40. 1/2 through, I must say if I could access this 40 easily and pay less then 2$ for it would be one i'd get for sure.(reminds me of MGD for some reason, color and mouth feel, but at 6% which i'm starting to feel a little) Down to the last swill, still foaming. The taste stayed the same all the way through, didnt get skunky or foul. Feelin' good right now, + adding this 40 to the collection as #91. Brew: 8/10 stars for great refreshing dry taste Buzz: 5/10 stars, provides what you expect knowing it's 6% |

Tiger Tai: Pit Bull is definately the most ghetto high gravity out there. it tastes like shit every time to keep you confused as to whether its skunked or not so you'll keep comin back looking for a fresh batch. one cool thing about it is the little poker game behind the label, you get 4 cards and it says draw your card under the cap. overall though Pit Bull yeilds a good buzz at 8% but tastes like toxic waste so I'd rate it 5 of 10 Swills (on a High Gravity curve).... |

Vile Fiend: First off, thanks to DC40’s for the hook up with this 40. But I shouldn’t thank him too much hahaha. This 40 pretty much tasted like shit. I’ve definitely had worse, but not much worse. It had a flat taste, almost like it had already been opened for a few days. I’m not sure if it was skunked, or it just plain and simply sucks. The label is kind of cool, although I’m confused by the ‘Malt liquor’ and “HG lager” on the label. But either way, it was a nasty 40, and I’d have to give it a 3.5 outta 10 swills. |
