Keystone Ice

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Golden, Colorado USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Hold my stones, because this beer sucks. It’s sticky sweet and grainy with little flavour other than corn syrup. Better than a light beer, but still crappy.

Much like other discount/cheap beers. Little to no head, bottom of the barrel tin-can alley sort of taste. Pugnant low quality beer scent. Worth the low price if you’re just looking for something to suck down to get drunk, seeing as you won’t feel too ripped off if you throw it up the next morning!

A: The pour is like pretty much any other adjunct lager, clear light golden color with a white head that ends up being nothing more than a thin layer. S: Cooked vegetables right away, I’m thinking string beans and asparagus. Some nice corn notes along with a mild graininess. A decent alcohol presence as well. T: This beer is harsh. Abrasively alcoholic without much else (flavor-wise) to cover it up. Some hints of corn and perhaps some grain sweetness. M: The body is light and the carbonation is very high. D: Ice tends to be synonymous with "horrendous" in terms of beer and this can did nothing to change that.

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2010 Oh no, not recommended. This is best used for emergency situations, like putting out a campfire.

light bubbly yellow color, fluffy white head, hint of lace. nose of light corn, trace of malt and hop. slightly skunky flavor plus corn sweetness to boot. medium bodied, smooth mouth feel, clean finish. not that bad, but serve it really cold, perhaps best on a hot, muggy day.

12oz can

Aroma - strange raw meat/blood/metallic nose with soapy/hand lotion smell

Appearance - straw yellow, clear with a bright white airy 2" head that melted like soda pop foam

Taste - watery bran flakes, light Granny Smith apples

Palate - light bodied, light carbonation, quick finish

Overall - personally, I’d never buy this but I was camping up 6k feet in the Sierras and one of the guys brought a couple of cases of this. It was far from great, hell far from average but it didn’t make me vomit.

OK, so I bought this cuz it was a) a beer I hadn’t rated, and 2) it was 2.50 for a 4 pack of 16oz cans. Whatever. Weird radioactive yellow color, smallish head that faded away immediately, and no apparent effervenscence in the glass, although it was mildly fizzy on the tongue. Aroma hinted at bready malts, green apple. Flavor started clean and bland, a little seltzer water with hints at malt and hop flavors at the finish. So first impression was bland but inoffensive, but then a fusel prickle came in and well..let’s just keep it ice cold and keep some pizza or something on hand to help wash this stuff down with!

16 oz. can purchased at Food Emporium in Lynnwood, WA. Pours a light yellow color with a white head. Minimal carbonation, and the flavor isn’t good at all. Keystone Light tastes better, but that isn’t saying much.
