From my girlfriend’s parents who acquired a 4 pack of this in HK: Pours super pale with a frothy white head. Aroma is grain and barely anything mostly. Taste is much the same. There is a faint beer taste, but mostly it is like drinking dirty, slightly alcoholic water. I drank two of these pretty easily, but I don’t think I have any real desire to finish the 4 pack any time soon.

Golden colour with a small white head. Sweet malt aroma. Weak flavour that if you are kind could be said to be malt.

Bottled 330ml. -as Blue Ice Beer Ice Filtered, brought by a friend from Hong Kong. Pale golden coloured, small white head, hint of malt and rice in the nose. Watery, rice and light caramel/cardboard taste with mild sweet finish. Not offensive just too watery. 5.0%

Bottle from Ogi, no idea where he got it. "Ice Filtered", 0.33l bottle, 5% alcohol. No info online on what had happened with the recipe, if that’s a new beer or whatever. It only says it’s distributed by the Hong Kong SM, absolutely no mention if somebody else is a brewer.Anyway, it poured a golden body with lovely and lively carbonation. Lasting head. Sourish malty nose, some rice .Strange (yet seeing where it comes from, expected) smooth grainy, ricey crappy malty taste, some alcohol, sweet and dry. Nice mouthfeel, crappy taste.

33cl Can in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. ABV is 5%. Clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma is very light, a bit of rice, light malty. Flavour is almost absent, light malty, dry, rice. No off flavours, thus if drank cold this is a refreshing brew.

darker yellow colour with just a bit of very unattractive looking head. Aroma is of tin and alcohol with just a hint of syrup. Taste is very bland and watery lager stuff - some grains and that’s about it. There’s just nothing going on in this one.

Produced by S. Miguel Thailand, at least my can... Gushing (!) to huge, very dense white head, leaving lace over golden beer. Surprisingly, very outspoken fruity aroma’s, if quite volatile: (canned) pineapple, peaches. Definitely something funky-fruity, suggesting sourness - too strange for words... Blue Ice??? Solvent flavour, wood extract, again pineapple (ester). It’s got something wine-like, like in old, oxydized wines, NOT oxydized malts or beer. But of course pretty pale, near insipid, certainly as long as ice-cold. Light, near watery, just that strange back-flavour hanging around in the palate. After some time, traces of alcoholwarming. CAN it be true? DID I find the first international mega-lager that really got infected? Whatever, I’d give my left hand, what the exact component is that I perceive - it’s the one that lends aroma to old gueuze, but also old burgundy wine. Jeez.

Bottled (thanks tbone_!). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is harsh rice, some metal and skunkyness. Flavour is metallic, toffeeish (diacetyl), rice and oh well some sourness. Oh man oh man.

Bottled by San Miguel Thailand
Golden color, not much head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of corn and skunky hops. As most of the ice beers - mostly tasteless. Alcohol brings mostly fruity harsh flavors, a bit sugary finish. Bottle sampled in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Can, Bangkok
Deep gold colour; malty-grainy aroma with hints of caramel and alcohol. Similar palate, alcohol taste emerging more in the finish. Bland, but drinkable.
