Good god! Ice beers are incredibly awful! They all taste like gasoline with creamed corn. Just putrid corny sweet fusel mess. Undrinkable.

Pours a clean, light golden colour with a frothy white cap, decent stay and some good patchy thick foam lacing. Smooth corn aromas at first with chemical sharp fake hops eventually coming out. Smooth taste as well, at first, with a club soda feel, light corn in the middle and the cheap hops being better, as not as pungent as the nose. Overall, goes down smoothly with not much too offensive. Canadian version brewed by Stroh Canada.

Can. Corny barley malt and straw aroma. Golden yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet corn syrup, barley malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. On the sweet side but not quite cloying.

M&D Liquor Store, Trenton can: pours pale with a frothy head. Aroma is corny and not boozy or sugary. Taste is corny. Not too sweet. Kind of shitty finish. Bad but not as bad as I feared.

Firstr time I’ve seen this around here! 16 oz cans case of 24 for $10. Looks like old mill and smells like it somewhat. Nice head and continuously visble carbonation. Some lacing beleive it or not. Taste of course is a little more than old mill. Tho the taste is not as bad as some of the ice beers I’ve had, it still has that alky upfront feel. Goes down fairlyh easy for a cheap ice (HEHEH, ice?) beer.

Can: Drank from the can so no appearance information. The aroma was a hoppy watery grain. The taste was a smooth grainy common drinkable beer.

Can: Poured a light yellow color lager with a foamy head with better then average retention. Aroma of adjunct is quite powerful and dominated the aroma. Taste is also heavy on the adjunct with some corn and some light alcohol notes. Body is creamier then most macros. Overall, this is another bland macros with maybe a bit more of a creamy body and better head retention.

2006 cans consumed on 7/14 and 7/15/06.
Pale-maize-golden body is, of course, highly clear, but bubbles do not rise intensely here. White head is small, wispy and fades to partial cover and then nothing.
The nose has a light dose of corn sugar that initially sweetens things, while a hint of vanilla, almost enjoyable (though a flaw) sits softly in between this and the very light, slightly grainy (old barley, bits of honey) malt structure. And what’s that?? It’s hops! Like the barest tickle of saaz hops, almost as if smelling a grass stain on your pants. But it is undoubtedly there and actually quite pleasant for what it is. Aside from the minimal beer notes (and the lager yeast bi-products), a spring water lightness bubbles about in the nose.
Taking a few sips, I keep waiting and waiting for the heavy, syrupy or harsh corn syrup flavors to hit, but they don’t. Certainly not the most clean of pale lagers, but for a macro product it’s startlingly clean. Light barley grains, medium-high attenuation for the style and just a drizzle of light honey and corn syrup on the finish. Hops are not bitter, nor is the yeast particularly crisp and the water is quite soft. All of this leads to an easy drinking, spring water-concoction with gentle, very bare, grassy hops that are difficult to find, but there none-the-less. No alcohol really, and yet again, I don’t find much DMS, just a hint on the finish (I seem to have a difficult time detecting DMS). Aside from the corn syrup notes throughout, it’s really rather neutral and actually rather drinkable. Carbonation is low for the style, much lower than most macro products. Mouthfeel is pretty flimsy, but some malt did make it’s way through here, albeit in small quantities.
