Pale, golden yellow with light streams of effervescence and a one-inch, white, foamy head that fades to nothingness. Everything you hate about BMC including dusty DMS, corn, adjuncts, et. al. Has a hit of alcohol... not as much as you’d expect from an ice beer, but more ramped up than a traditional macro. Slogan reads, "Smooth, Never Watered-Down Taste." I would have preferred a thinner taste than this sickly, corn/alcohol concoction that hangs instead of dissipates.
Icehouse was fine in my college days when I sought out cheap beers to get drunk on, but it holds no place in my life now (except as a cheap "tick" in my battle against "he-who-shall-remain-nameless"... who recently accused ME of <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/corona-light/743 his standards, yet scroll down and you will find his rating of Icehouse on Jan. 24 < src=http://www.ratebeer.com/images/smilies/10.gif& />

Oct 31, 2009 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.

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle. Surprisingly not that bad. Light malt, light adjunct, light sweetness. Nothing too offensive.

Oct 5, 2009 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.

Oct 3, 2009 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

Oct 2, 2009 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.

Sep 29, 2009 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.

Sep 17, 2009 If you wondered what Miller tastes like "brewed longer, brewed colder", it tastes about the same.

Aug 30, 2009 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.
