COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Icehouse, the first domestically brewed ice beer, allows ice to form during the brewing process creating a bold, hoppy beer with no watered-down taste.

Pours a clear yellow with a thin head and a decent amount of lacing. It has a sweet, malty aroma. The taste is of very sweet (perhaps too much sugar adjunct?) yet still bland, corny malt. The sweetness is overwhelming IMO and virtually ruins an otherwise mediocre beer.

This isn;t too bad of a beer if you like ice beers. It tastes like any other beer really, except Pabst, Hamm’s or Budweiser. I’d probably buythis as my first choice of ice beers. Beats Natural Ice hands down.

From a 24 oz can this poured a light straw golden color with small white head and decent lacing. The body is very thin, and the mouthfeel light What flavor there is light malts and floral hops. The finish is lightly bitter. Quite drinkable, but lacks enough flavor.

I know that this is referred to a "college beer", but I would hope that our institutions of higher learning are churning out students who are intelligent enough not to drink this.

Bierkrug (1637) - Idar-Oberstein (In Senegal), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - APR 7, 2010
UPDATED: JUN 18, 2011 330 ML bottle in Germany. Yet another drain pour. I think I have had enough crap beer for one day. I think between the five of them I finished half of one in total. A bad day in the beer world for me. This did get the highest rating of the lot however. I will have to wash all of these down with an Andechs just to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
