24 ounce can, best by date of May 9, 2011 printed on the bottom. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a clear straw gold color with a half inch white head. Not much of any head retention or lacing. Aroma is very, very weak, but I can smell some corn and grain. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there’s also a slight metallic taste noticable. Mouthfeel/body is light, it’s thin and a bit watery with decent carbonation. Overall I just don’t like this brew. Even for the style of beer this is, it’s not one of the better adjunct lagers out there. It was a chore just to finish the can. For $1.39, I think I paid too much for this.

Pours gold/yellow. Head dissipates quickly. Tastes of yeast, wheat, bananas, little hops. Forgettable.

UPDATED: JUN 9, 2011 Rather heavy beer for a pale lager, not really any flavor to it, although drank ice cold (couldn’t resist), is decent.

Sweet malt and corn aroma. Clear, golden with a quickly dissapating head. Corn, malt, and grain flavours. Dry, acidic, grainy finish.

Cheap beer with no taste. Icehouse is one if the nastier cheaper light beers

After reviewing most of the comments on this beer, I was very surprised to see that most people had very negative things to say about it. I think it is very important to take an objective view. For a mainstream domestic affordable beer its fine, i just bought a six pack 16oz, for $3.99 what do you expect? funnything is most of you probly eat mc donalds burger king etc, eating horrible proccessed food that tastes like shit and cost more than my six pack and run back to eat it every week. think about it....

Pretty crappy. Not as potent as some others. For only 5.5% the alcohol was pretty apparent.
