Attractive black can. Do I shiver or shudder when I hear the word ’ice’ on an american beer? Scraping ice off partially frozen beer is about as caveman as drinkeing rotten fermented grain. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. Big off white head. Aroma is metallic and slightly sour. Taste is fairly palatable when compared to other ice beers. Not much bitterness. Behaves like a decent regular pale lager. Finish is non assuming. Much better than many pale lagers. Miles ahead of unrefined City Ice and Nasty Ice. Lacks the coarseness that is typically apparent with iced brews. Alky is well hidden and finish is rather short and easy to handle. I just had a Weyer Impy Pumpkin ale and this is just as good as far as enjoyability goes.

Well, this stuff is better than Buttmonkey. Nice silver can and it is rather clean smelling with a little sweet corn in there. Has enough personality to be a regular pale lager instead of light. Does taste a little different than the regular schlitz. Only 33 cents per can, good lawnmower beer. Probably decent for a session too if money is an issue. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager, not bad. Has manners and can be appreciated by a frugal spender.

Big bottle pours out a watery looking clear gold with almost no head. Almost no aroma too. I get just faint hints of corn flakes and vague bitterness. The taste is punctuated by the carbonation level allowing both the neutral bland bitterness and corn flake cereal rise up and out of the absence of flavor altogether. The taste then moves toward sugar sweetness and then back to corn flakes. The body is way too thin and all that beer had zero impact except the bladder and one less good beer I could have rated today.

This is definitely what I would consider the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager, the perfect example. 12 oz can that was about 38 cents per can at Beer and Pop for Less in Moon Twp. Has a small creamy white head, a little more than I’m used to in a pale lager. Aroma is corny and beery yeasty. Gentle continuous streams of carbonation within the brew. Taste is rather mild with just a touch of hops, after all, it is just a kiss of hops as stated on the front of the can. Hey, this is the beer that made Milwaukee famous, and I always thought it was Harley-Davidson! A well behaved mild lager that is easy to drink. The finish does have a very mild metallic bitterness that hangs for a few after you swallow. Overall a pretty decent example of a fizzy yellow american lager. Above average but not quite as good as Schmidt’s or Old German. Good price and easy to drink. This doesn’t seem to be the same recipe as I remember from 20 years ago.

12 oz. can. Hey, now; "When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of beer!" Big corny smell when opened, with some pale malt behind it. Usual pasteurized lager head: fizzes for a moment, then it’s just a scrum on the yellow body (so I guess appearance is normal for this style). But smell up close in the glass gets medicine-y, like a malt liquor–though it would cut through at, say, a bowling alley, to remind you that ya got a beer in front of ya. This impression, unfiltered by nostalgia, is that the taste is typical manufactured cheap beer. Seems more malt syrup than mashed malts, and so little bitterness that even "Just the Kiss of the Hops" doesn’t even describe it. There may be a little more body here than, say, a Hamm’s, but I wonder if it was ever a good beer. And just like that, I’m outta Schlitz… Schlitz outta luck.

This is possibly the best Ice beer that I have ever got. It smells like something that may be a good beer. The taste is nonexistent until the finish when there is a bitter dry taste coming off, then the aftertaste continues it.

Can. So back in college we bought a case of this to celebrate (?) my buddy not crashing his car. No one finished a can... and we weren’t exactly beer savy at the time. A horrid metallic taste and a complete lack of other flavoring. I’d rather drink... well, lots of things

Hmm... this is another cheap-o high gravity treat from the folks at Miller. This beer has that beautiful taste of gasoline and alcohol and the same basic smell. The label is pretty cool though and at the end of the day, there are malt liquors and beers that taste far, far worse.

This rubbish smells worse than Four O and looks less appealing than a glass of Aspen Edge. It is pretty much a crappy malt liquor with no real defining charecteristics. There is better crap and worse crap out there, so there is no reason to drink this. It’s not that I hate this swill, it’s rather that I would prefer not to drink it.
