Hurricane High Gravity

Anheuser-Busch
United States·Malt Liquor
Tap to rate

Hurricane High Gravity is the stronger version of Hurricane Malt Liquor, brewed with extra barley malt and quality hops for a markedly higher alcohol content. It pours a clear pale gold with a white head that lingers. The nose is sugary and lightly fruity, recalling green apple and grape, over grainy malt, corn and a noticeable alcohol note. The body is very full, the palate rich with a fruity edge and a touch of corn, and the finish is smooth and sweet with no distinct bitterness.
