12 oz. can, "thanks" to jackl. Clear, pale, bubbly yellow, with a medium, bubbly, off-white head that abates quickly. Nose of Saaz, corn syrup, and wet blankets. Sweet and syrupy, with no bitterness. At least the aftertaste is mild and not unpleasant. Light body, creamy, lightly effervescent, and a bit crisp. This is a poor, cheap lager. Overly sweet, with all the aroma that crappy adjuncts will get you.

Can - Hi octane notes. Pale cold with a small white head. Sweet corn and apple notes. Much milder than the nose.

Can shared during RBWG 2016. Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. The nose has some sharp sugary cereal, corn, white bread. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with more basic cereal, light paper, straw, meringue, white bread. Medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Sugary finish, mellow paper, no hops, some white rice, cereal. Not terrible.

Can: Clear, gold, white foamy head. Sweet corn, honey, grain scent. Sweet corn malt, barley, water....artificial sweeteners..watery, apple-y/fruit taste. Probably much better if there was actual ice in it......like, a slushy....and it’s 92 degrees out......and you just don’t care anymore....you know, THAT kind of beer......MMMMM-Melanie !!!!!

24 ounce can. Corny barley malt and straw aroma. Medium yellow with large white head. Sweet corn syrup malt and light straw flavor. Crap for body. Awful - another crap lager from City. Typically would expect a cleaner, lighter beer with the "ice" connotation, but alas it was not to be.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear yellow with minimal head. Aroma of grains and corn. Taste is liggt sweet. Mostly corn with a weird aftertaste. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a surprisingly long finish. Overall, meh. Not awful, and actually quite poundable.

Looks like a clear pale yellow lager. Aroma is akin to many Melanie beers, cheap lager with an off perfumy sweet aroma. Palate has decent carbonation. Was expecting the taste to be a little more rude than it is. On par with the lager as far as offensiveness goes. All those Melanie Lacross beers have that weird background flavor. Must be due to the water they use. Like many cheap ice beers, goes down, but not really to enjoyably. s4a1t4f3o7

Good sized head and light gold color. Stomach acid aroma. Flavor is light with corn and other grains and chemicals. It could be worse, barely unoffensive.
