Chaz reeled this in from a 7-11 in Taiwan, he will tell the story Im sure. I was so glad to have a "crystallized" beer, I mean, all beers should go through this process. It actually wasnt as bad as I expected it to be....essentially still a drain pour, but not the worst Ive had. 6.4%??? really? Thats actually surprising....adjunct malts, a pretty sweet finish.....went down very COLD!

May 16, 2008 Good looking with a good head. Almost tasteless, very watery and with almost no aroma.
This one was bought as a 640ml bootle in Hong Kong.

Feb 8, 2008 Blue Ice Beer is a fun beer to order at a sushi bar, but nothing more. There is very little taste in this watery european strong ale.

Jan 9, 2008 Produced by S. Miguel Thailand, at least my can... Gushing (!) to huge, very dense white head, leaving lace over golden beer. Surprisingly, very outspoken fruity aroma’s, if quite volatile: (canned) pineapple, peaches. Definitely something funky-fruity, suggesting sourness - too strange for words... Blue Ice??? Solvent flavour, wood extract, again pineapple (ester). It’s got something wine-like, like in old, oxydized wines, NOT oxydized malts or beer. But of course pretty pale, near insipid, certainly as long as ice-cold. Light, near watery, just that strange back-flavour hanging around in the palate. After some time, traces of alcoholwarming. CAN it be true? DID I find the first international mega-lager that really got infected? Whatever, I’d give my left hand, what the exact component is that I perceive - it’s the one that lends aroma to old gueuze, but also old burgundy wine. Jeez.

Sampled on Flashy’s tour of LA, New Zealand and Hong Kong of September/October 2007 - An awful lager. This had absoltely no taste at all. That’s it.
