Can. Pointlessly gold body with a soapy, white head and aromas of corn. Taste is fermented corn juice... that’s it. Pretty pointless. I’d guess you could get the same flavor cheaper by leaving a can of corn open in the kitchen for a week or two and drinking the juice. When the highlight is that the color is gold (and not pale yellow), you might find a different beer...

Pours like key light. Smells better, but still pretty bad. Flavor is sickly sweet, and alcohol forward. Corn and a nasty urine aftertaste. Lots of metal in the finish. Avoid.

Pretty much a very pale malt and very light hop aroms. A light golden color with a near rocky white head that tried to leave but couldn’t succeed. Actual hop aroma as the glass approaches the lips. Thin to medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. The flavor is not bad. A little bit like malt liquor but with some actual hop. The finish is not too bad - not the typical papery thing. However, the finish is not too much of anything. Definitely better than Busch Ice.

Bad, bad, bad! I just wanted to get this because I needed something cheap and I never had this rubbish before. Believe me, it was rubbish. I was shocked when I saw that it is in fact in the 1 percentile instead of in the 0 percentile. It tastes like gatorade, mixed with bad beer, mixed with vodka spilled on a rug.

24 oz. can, 99 cents at QukTrip store. Oh, sweet Jebus, my first drain pour. Color is the exact same yellow I’ll see when pissing this stuff back out later. Processed chemical smell mixed with nectar from hummingbird feeders. Actually kicks up foam when poured, though, so a point for that. A gag reflex-inducing brew of corn syrup and ethyl alcohol.
I have had, and even forgiven the makers of, bland beers, infected beers, line-contaminated beers, but this is the thing that tastes least like beer of anything on my rating list, including any sakes and meads. VILE! (I may have to give my Miller High Life rating an extra point, because I’ve found something worse!)

Can. Sour malt aroma. Light yellow color with a moderate head that disappears almost immediately. Moderate barley malt flavor with light hops finish. The best of the "Ice" beers to emerge from the 90s and decent for BMC.

Like the light counterpart, it’s not a suprise I can’t find this beer easily in my area. It’s awful. What else is there to say?

So you are mumbling ‘This can’t be the first time he’s tasted it?” No it is not….. I’ve had this before I became an amateur ratebeerian. But first, I wanted to get some experience with about 200 ‘good’ beers and really give this brew equal footing before I BMC step on it. So, this is neither a number padder nor a memory rate. This beer is being sampled as I review. Big black 24 oz can, a bomber. Flip top to reveal a industrial, alcohol laced, raw meat aroma. There is some yeast in there too. Pours like any other cheap american beer into my steeler stein. I must mention that it does not glow as much as 211. Clear yellow and a small white head that rapidly fades. There are very few bubbles coming up from the brew. Taste is a little like some strong ales I’ve had, you know, some alcohol bite. Not quite as intimidating as many spicy, herby- vegetable beers. The alcohol is not in your face as special reserve is. Can says ‘always smooth’ and it is smoother than many quality beers. The finish IS pretty smooth but has something a little bitter in there, perhaps hops. Keystone hit the market with the saying that it is ‘not the bitter beer’. It’s odd that some beer craft companies strive for the opposite of foreign/imp stout and ipa, beers highly prized by a certain majority. Again, the finish is pretty smooth and if you wait a few moments after the swallow, there is perhaps a lightly increasing bitterness; shall I even mention the finish of a Vienna? Has a bit too much alcohol personality for me. Are they allowed to add alcohol after the beer has brewed or is this just they way it turns out during the brew? Perhaps not as refined as many cheap pale yellow american beers. I dream that we sell cheap beers to the Russians like we scarf up the cheap Baltika 6…..similar rating.

Sampled from a 24 oz can this beer poured an extremely pale yellow with a huge soapy white head. The aroma is sour and tangy macro swill. The flavor is sour and tangy corn syrup with a vague bitterness and a very light hint of mild hops.

Ahh, drink three of these babies and you are in the Key Zone one of the best beers made for the price. A malty alcohol aroma with an alcohol taste that kinda reminds me of sprite. Sugary, and fairly syruppy.
