stobbe74 (2767) - DENMARK - APR 15, 2011
Pours a clear and pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is weak malt. The flavor is weak malt and fruit. The palate is sweetness. Overall a boring beer.

adavis234 (278) - Columbia, South Carolina, USA - APR 8, 2011
Bottle. Pour is hay-colored with an tiny white head. Aroma is grassy, almost non-existent. Slightly more flavor than a bud light and not as abrasive as other ice macros but still pretty bad.

Bud Ice’s slightly higher alcohol content is much more immediatey apparent by its aroma and flavor than the other "Ice" beers, and is vastly inferior to Icehouse. This is sweeter than most lagers (kind of reminds me of the sugar alcohol used in zero calorie chewing gum), and actually offers a decent middle of the road mouth-feel that is pleasingly full but not too heavy. It’s alright every once-in-awhile, I reckon, but not great, and not the best in its field. Give this one at least one shot; some folks really seem to like it, but you probably won’t.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - MAR 22, 2011
Bottle @ Norweigan Tasting, Odense. Pours clear yellow with a small off white head. Hay, grain, fruit and alcohol. Very mild and anonymous.

wlajwl (1472) - Iowa, USA - MAR 20, 2011
Almost no taste to it, almost like vodka in that its all alcohol and no real flavor. Pass.

Bought it as a joke because of the stupid bottle and I have to try everything anyways, buttt this may be the worst beer ever. Pure nothingness in all categories bot look.

from a can 8/2/10... spicier, cleaner and better than any other bud product on the market. when it is 120 out these go down like water.
