I used to drink IC Light all the time in college, and I prefer it to regular IC. This one always seemed to have a metallic taste, but it was still head and shoulders above BMC shit.

Bottle. What a way to finish off a bad day of work. Pours a golden nectar with a soda like diminishing white head. Skunk, malt extract, some earth and corn galore. Taste is a little better than the aroma much like your classic macro lager.

Do I really need to bother with a detailed description of another yellow beer with stank corn and grain aromas and boring ass nasty grainy flavors? Ok good, then I wont.

Fancy aluminum bottle. ooh. aaah... Pale yellow. Small muted grainy aroma. Sweet "premium" malty flavour. Thin, grainy, boring. Poor. No wonder Amber Brkich prefers Yuengling!

I’m glad that their new aluminum bottles gives them something to get excited about, because it’s gotta be real hard for a brewer to get worked up over this piss-water. Poured from the metal bottle, it’s a deep yellow color with a rapidly vanishing head. Coupled with the lack of carbonation, this stuff has the presentation of a 1st-class, 40-oz, brown bottled-malt liquor. It smells like rotting corn and rusted cans. Sadly, it tastes worse. And for those of you who enjoy such things, it has a metallic finish that leaves your tongue burning. Enjoy!

Plane sweetness in the nose, touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, sweet but shallow malt, slightly acidic, alcoholic medium. Short finish. Very simplistic lager, with noticeable alcohol which is strange for such weak brew.

Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is moderately malty (bread, toasted grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), hint of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Well kiss my grits...I do believe they actually put barley in this! Not fizzy, almost no DMS stench, decent malt base, reasonably clean, and enough bitterness to make it drinkable. I dare say this is underrated.

Dark straw color with a fizzy big bubbled head that diminishes quickly. Industrial aroma. Corn and resin initially in the nose, but malt is detected with a full sniff. Some sweet malt and mild dry grassy hops. A touch over carbonated and slightwatery flavor. Actually better than I remember Iron Chitty.
