Although Liqour Laws have been updated, years ago
malt liquor was anything over 3.2 ABV in some States.

Malt liquor is a American name for high ABV lagers
made with cheap adjuncts. Europeans refer to it as
superduper lager. Not all high ABV lagers qualify
as a malt liquor. An immediate example is Eisbock.
