Icehouse

From the cheap beers available on the market, this is better than some but still a cheap beer. Weak/flat taste with hardly any aroma but with no unpleasant after taste.

Had this at my brother-in-law’s house, basically all he had. Really just awful. Minimal "beer" flavor and aromas. Specifically for getting drunk only, but so many choices at this level and I could never see myself drinking this again.

So bad it’s good, provides a good cheap buzz... best "enjoyed" (AKA, chugged) chilled... really chilled, not any worse than a "Stella Artois," the pretentious, lower alcohol content, overpriced Euro-macro. Cheers!

Horrid. Probably best used as a laxitive. Many a minor in possession of this has cleaned his system out the next morning. The rating before mine is great though!

THOUGHTS: I used to love this beer before I was of legal drinking age, because it had a little more kick and flavor than the other macros. Then I would still buy it from time to time after turning 21. But then it became more scarce in the Delaware Valley. I picked this up on a recent trip to Virginia. Not as good as I remembered it, still better than a lot of pale lagers. I think with the bottles you don’t get that bad aftertaste that others mentioned. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light yellow with fair carbonation and a small to average fizzy, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light grain and moderate grassy hops. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderately sweet, lightly acidic and bitter and slightly sour with a short duration. There was some grain malt then some grassy hops and a little sourness like sourdough. The sour kicked in as it warmed. Tip. Don’t let it get too warm. The light body was watery with soft then fizzy carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.
