Yea, I gotta St. Ides poster with Ice Cube and thats just cool. This is actually a decent malt. I love the fact that I can go to a really good beer bar and yet get a four o of this goodness.

Jan 6, 2009 My first 40 at age 12 back in 1991. This had only been around for a couple years back then but we knew all about it from Ice Cube and NWA. Very strong back then it was 7.3% when it was Ides Premium. Now its Ides High Gravity and it comes in at 8.2%. Still tastes the same but the original has the edge just because of its historic value to me. I am glad I was able to pick up an empty Ides Premium 40 for my collection a couple years ago. Also the St. Ides buzz is very violent. Its unlike any other buzz I have ever gotten from a 40. Be very carful as drinking 2 or more 40s of Ides will produce the worst hangover ever.

Apr 22, 2008 the fact is for $1.89 in 1994-1998 , this was the best thing u could buy, wasn’t really that much worse than bud, best of the 40’s in my opinion. But the most important thing about this beer is that even a dorky indian doofus can feel like Ice Cube(the gangster one, not the barber shop one)!

Apr 13, 2008 Updated: Jul 9, 2008As far as cheap malt liquors for college kids to get drunk off of I suppose it’s not completely horrible. Better than Colt 45, King Cobra or Old English for what it’s worth. Still, c’mon, this is nasty stuff.

Feb 1, 2008 I drank St. Ides many years ago and I think that my taste buds are still recovering. How did I possibly think that this stuff was good?! I guess college will make you think that all kinds of stupid things are cool and worth doing. But please take my word for it nothing makes this beer worth drinking. The only way that you can possibly make it through a can, bottle, or 40 of this stuff is because it’s so strong that every sip gets your taste buds that much more numb so that you can ignore the flavor.

Oct 29, 2007 Nasty nasty nasty. I tried a few gulps of a 40 just for the rating. Aroma of nastiness and corn. Pour was a light gold with a one finger white head.Taste was nasty and sweet. Heavy carbonation that induces a gag reflex. I’ll tip the whole thing to my "dead homies". They can agonize over it.

Jul 7, 2007 Its a terrible but about 15 years ago Ice Cube ran commercials for them on BET.

I am still waiting and am beginning to think it was a clever marketing ploy rather then him telling the truth. ><
