Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear gold color with a foamy, white head. Poor head retention. Aroma: Grain, perhaps a bit of corn, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor: Mirrors the nose. Grainy with some alcohol and a touch of bitterness. Seems like this one is trying to creep up on a malt liquor to me. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a short finish. Overall: I’ve had worse, but this still isn’t good.

Bottle. Surprisingly not that bad. Light malt, light adjunct, light sweetness. Nothing too offensive.

I remember having my first Icehouse. A dimly lit Bowling Alley in Tempe, 1994. The bartender waived us over to him as if he was going to tell us some big secret. He whispers, "Try this, it just came in , I served it on league night.It got out of hand." That was good enough for me.

Okay... you can do this. *pour* eww, it’s a sickly kind of yellow...foamy white head and...the smell is pretty light...Now, drinking it from a can? It’s sickly sweet, just....foul. In a glass, it actually mellows out and you can’t really taste the sickly, sweet, straw syrupy taste. Ends up tasting kind of bland from a glass. Phew, I made it

16 oz. Can. Pours clear and golden. Taste is hoppy and light; but falls flat on the palate. ABV is respectable. Better than the average big brewers.

12 oz. bottle- Liquid gold is one way to describe this beer, liquid shit is another, my vote is for the latter. Pours like any other mass produced lager, golden color, no head, but has a overbearing ice beer flavor. Believe it or not I actually prefered Keystone ice over this.

If you wondered what Miller tastes like "brewed longer, brewed colder", it tastes about the same.

12 oz can. Ice beer. What a trend! I can’t believe it’s still going. There’s nothing going on here. Boring beer by a boring brewery.
