I saw a homeless man sleeping in a cardboard box, clutching a can of this. - I knew I was in for a real treat. Pours gold with a foamy head. Beautiful mild skunk. Loads of corn syrup maltiness. It's got a delicious one dimensional quality finished with club soda-esque salts. Magnificent. An excellent example of the style.

355ml can. Golden, white foamy head, lots of carbonation. Corn/vegetable nose. Sweet corny taste battles club soda and alcohol.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2011 24 ounce can, the apropos vessel for this libation, labeled Genesee Ice. Silver and black can appears to be a knockoff of Molson Ice, or perhaps some other macro’s ice - silver & black cans appear to be the standard for this kind of brew. The aroma is not the worst, but the sweet, corny flavor is pretty lame. I can barely taste any hops, but I can taste something weird in there, something that doesn’t fit, like relish or mustard, or a cheap hot dog on a corn syrup-laced bun. The alcohol level is pretty low too, for an "ice" beer. Not only is this stuff not very good, it’s not even good for this crumby style.

Hey guys fix this website! Read the can - they advertize 5.5 % ABV It is a real force. In a word, NASTY. 12 oz can. One of the worst ice beers out there. Genesees’ worst offering. This does not belong. A metalic malty taste. Light gold color and a foamy head that sticks around.

Painful...no aroma to speak and even less flavor. Served it’s purpose for a broke gentleman on a hot day. Can’t imagine i would have another one of these so called brews.

Not much you can say about this product. Just 5.2% content.

Can: Poured a bright golden color lager with a medium bubbly head with limited retention. Aroma of corn and sugar is pretty intense and somewhat gross. Taste has a sweet edge with some bad adjunct that just takes too much space. This one is real bad pale lager with way too much adjunct showing.

Poured decently with that usual macro head, that however didnt disappear quickly at all. Tasted horrible. Ice beer is a terrible idea, very caustic and harsh tasting. Bad beer.

Thin weak aroma. Metallic coming from can. Yellow with full head. Metallic taste. Watery in texture. Sounds wonderful. Right?

Chemical, metal, iron, tinfoil, corn. In other words, just really horrible.
