Can. Pale straw, no head. Faint smell and taste of stale corn, overcooked cauliflower and tin (Yes I know it came from a can, but is it supposed to taste like the can?). Drink this only if you have no money and you want to get drunk fast. Otherwise avoid like Northern Zaire during an Ebola outbreak. Overall points went up due to the nice label picture.

Oboyoboy, time for an alcoholiday! Back in the day, I had a bud who described Icehouse in this way: "You gotta be drunk to drink this stuff!" That is to say, this is not a beer to savor, only to get tw*tted on. One of the better ice beers, if such a thing exists.

Man, I use to drink the F out of this beer in my early 20’s. The commercial description of this beer is classic. They allow ice to form during the brewing process and says it doesn’t have a water-downed taste. What is ice made of? Ha-ha.... I never thought if drinking it from a glass back in the day. So, I can’t tell you what it looks like. I can tell you that it is a smooth low balanced brew. I would pick this up if was up against some other lame miller/bud beers.

Pours golden yellow with corn and bad hops aroma. Taste is pretty clean but bland. Not impressive.

This beer is best from a keg. It’s a good change if you’re used to just drinking Budweiser or any kind of non fancy beer. It has a very high yeast smell and taste. When you twist the cap off the bottle it smells like you are opening a loaf of bread. Not one of my favorites.

Kind of nasty, but packs a bit more punch than most other beers. Not very enjoyable but perfect for the kegger after the big game. whee. Be careful, though. This stuff is responsible for my second worst hangover ever.

I only drink this when the money is low, but ’amn, it does the job well. At 5.5%, a six pack will have you pretty fine. And yes, it is a party beer, you will want to socialize after drinking this. Very clean taste, not bitter. You can honestly drink about 3 of them in 10 mins and not feel that you had more than one. Good beer if you are watching $$ otherwise.. then buy a heavy beer with a cleaner next day feeling..
