Found in a 1L can or something in Las Vegas. People literally wander up and down the strip drinking these monsters. It has that bleached white head and industrial yellow body that all Bud products seem to have. Flavour is a mix of urine and lemon. Of course it’s bad - and why suck down on these when you can have a vodka cooler? I’ll never understand Americans.

Absolutely irrelevant brew. Thankfully this one never hit Europe, as regular Budwesier did. I would be embarrassed as an American to allow others to taste this one.

Typical ’ice’ lager, a marketing trend dating back some years which has lead to some of the most boring lagers in the world. Thinnish but stable, dense, yellowish white head, colour a pale straw yellow with a peachy hue, cristal clear. Grainy nose with some faint pale malts, corn, vanilla, white bread, bubblegum, almost no hops noticeable. Taste neutral, light grainy sweetishness, smooth and thin mouthfeel, sourish note, quickly fading away and with no hop bitterness worth mentioning. Very bland and dull, as expected...

I just found the notes on this. Before I really got into good beer, I used to drink this all the time thinking this was the bees knees back then. Now that I had found notes on this during a party I was at and I sat there and didn’t want to bother with anyone, here is my take on this beer.
The night I actually reviewed this, this was poured into a pint glass. Please don’t ask me how else I’ve had this beer over the years.
The appearance was a total see through golden yellow with rapidly rising bubbly carbonation pouring into the rapidly dissipating head that is actually only less than a half a finger’s worth of head.
The smell was cooked rice with toasted corn notes to it. Do I like this? Hmmm....well, its not exactly my cup of tea.
The taste was mainly sweet through the cooked rice and corn notes. There is a slight sweet aftertaste and no finish.
On the palate, this is exceptionally light. Sessionable - this defines it. The carbonation seems to fairly good for the style as there’s nothing bad about it.
Overall, well, I see its labeled a pale lager on Ratebeer. However, I’m not really seeing it as a pale lager as its more of a light lager. Ever since I took my plunge into the world of craft beer, I haven’t had this since. But for which it stands, I’m glad I found these notes to say something on this today.

After reviewing the Natural Ice from A-B, decided to see the differences with this one. Came in a 12-pack in the States, of clear bottles. Pours the same light golden colour, with a white frothy head, average retention and dirty lace. Pretty much just smells like corn. The mouthfeel gave me some sticky teeth, but overall refreshing when real cold. The taste is pretty mild with the corn again. Nothing too chemical here. Kind of reminds me a stronger Corona (with the clear bottle). Less offensive than the Natural Ice, so better and not bad for the price when had cold.

Tall boy can @ home poured into my Zwanze Day tulip. Pours a clear golden appearance with a small white head. Heavy corn, dust, and metal in the nose. Watery, lightly boozy but easily swillable flavor. Some corn and fruits but really just melted yellow snow that gets you fucked up on a budget.
