Not sure how I missed this cheap can before, I was certain I did it already. Pour is typical clear lager pale with some white head. Sweeet canned corn nose. Tasting this just a little chilled, probably should be cold as ice to drink. First big swig is that of most other macro 'ice' pale lager. Drinkable, but has that volatile background going on in there. Yes, think any of your american pale lagers and add the word ice to it. Funny thing: Now I see we haven't rated any Pabst Ice since 2018 and this is when the rating for this 'extra' started. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so, hehehhehh. Well the pabst ice was 6% and this is 6.5%, so it must be a slightly different recipe.

16 oz. can. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Spotty lacing. Virtually no aroma. Smooth, clean, and grainy pale lager flavor with a hint of booze in the finish. Overall, it's not really different than a regular PBR, except with a little kick in the finish. This can was a lot smoother than my first can from Utah. Medium-light body. Good carbonation and low bitterness. A decent basic lager, as long as you drink it white it's cold.

16oz can from the state store. Pours clear light golden with a medium sized white head that dissipates quickly. Corn, dough, honey, grainy, sticky sweet. Nasty finish. I like a cold pbr in the summer when outside, but I wouldn't have this one. Not going to be able to finish the can.

12 ounce can thanks to Adam L. 7.10.20. Clear gold, large frothy white head good retention. Aroma of dank, sweaty hops, corn, pale, an odd cinnamon like note. Taste is corn, mild hops. Medium bodied.

16 oz can from Boise Co-op. Clear golden pour with a lasting cap of creamy head. Grainy, musty aroma. Taste is malty and grainy, and tastes likeca PBR, but the body has more heft. Light hop finish.

Just a little bit heavier flavor than regular PBR. One of the better mass market lagers.

16 ounce can into lager glass, best before 11/11/2019. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice thick foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, and biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, toast, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity corn/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice aromas with good balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big cracker, corn, white bread dough, and biscuit; with lighter notes of honey, toast, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, biscuit, honey, toast, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with mild fruity/yeasty notes. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a delicious imperial American lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/grains, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink for the ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel. Great clean/rich pils malt/grain showcase, with solid noble hop presence/balance for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is primarily bready, but there seems to be a Sazz hop note - grass/spice. Approaching medium body. Flavor is strongly bready, and the hop is rather light. Over all I get the impression of a 10% tall boy - but the nastiness is nowhere near that level. But these flavors are not great.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a bright golden color with a large soapy yellow-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy, citric and perfumey. The flavor was tangy and sweet with artificial grape. Medium length finish. Medium body.
