Strangebrewer (632) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 8, 2012
24oz can. Poured pale straw straw coloured with a thin white head. Weak grainy aroma. Average carbonation, thin mouthfeel. Grainy flavour, nothing special.

From distant memories. This beer sucked. Skunked up and watered malt liquor that tasted like cheap corn flakes. Blech

If you took all the non marshmallow pieces out of lucky charms and made a beer with them you would get Icehouse ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours clear, yellow-gold with white, puffy head. Scent is slightly sour, metallic, grain, lemon and plastic. Taste is basic/standard/domestic pale lager.... malt, grain, corn. water....slight hint of bitter hop. $4.59 a six-pack.....go figure.

First beer I ever drank out of a keg. Still pick up a 12-pack once in a great while, nearly 20 years later. Yes, it is crappy, in that American macro lager sort of way, but it is smooth, goes down easy, and 12 bottles some cheap. If I have a free summer Saturday night, nothing pressing Sunday morning, and a desire to get a buzz on while doing something else that is the main focus, Icehouse is just fine. 12-packs are often on sale for as cheap as can be here, and this is a crappy brew I find to be completely tolerable when the beer is not a focus. Not a lot of character to cover the alcohol, but it is recognizable as beer. Oh yeah, it will get you drunk, too!. ;)

Tall boy can into a pint glass at my house on July 19, 2012. About two fingers of head. Pale, golden color. Bubbly white head. Hardly any retention. Smelled light caramel malts, corn, honey, grain and bread. Tasted corn, metallic, honey, lots of grains, bread and a bad note of strong alcohol. Light body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt watery finish. Not a bad beer for the style. It started out pretty well but the taste was not much to speak of.

40 to pint (from notes). Looks fine; like a macro lager. Smells and tastes skunky, but I’ve had worse. Below average on the palate. Not good, but not the worst cheap ice beer out there.

NormLovesBeer (19) - Hampton, New Hampshire, USA - JUL 8, 2012
Pours a Golden Yellow in color with big foamy White head. Has light carbonation. Foamy White head dies down to almost nothing after 1 or 2 sips, and carbonation dies down as well. Little to no lacing on glass. Aroma is of alcohol, barley, honey, and bread. First One or Two sips is good, but then starts to taste watered-down.

It’s got the taste of cereal grains, malts, and cooked corn. But its also got a taste of freezer burn, or what is pretty close to it. It’s like they took ice cubes made it a flavor. I’ve had worse but I won’t be having this again
