1.3 24 oz (6.9% abv) can into pils glass, because what the heck. Clear tad darker golden color with fast disappearing white head. Aroma is trying; sweet pale malt and very faintly metallic. Taste adds corn, thinly grainy, slight off yeast note (can’t pin it, hate to say it, sweat?) and surprisingly some faint earthy hop. Light body, heavy-moderate carbonation, crisp with clean sweet finish. I’ve had worse, I’ve had better ices.

2.0 Not as nasty as expected, not really much in the way of flavor, sort of similar to Icehouse.

2.0 Bottle poured to pint glass very cold beer Appearance: Light yellow, big white foam Aroma: scent smell of malt, nothing else Taste: not really great, watery Mouth feel: very carbonated Overall: good beer, repeat: no look for: no drank:

1.1 also an oldie - slightly "better" than the original or the light, at least it has a crisp bite to it atop your regular carbonated pee offering :)

2.3 Its a cheap beer, not that much to expect from it. The taste is not very present

1.3 This "best" poured a light yellow colour with almost no head unless shaken. Smells of a metallic corn aroma mostly dominate. First swig was very thin and watery. Flavours of corn and water.... Finish tasted like the air in a strip joint. Not so much....

4.0 I’ve grown very close to this beer. Hell. My smokes cost $4 more than a sixer of tallboys..Its not really that bad of a beer...Show up at a party with some of this is also a wise move, because nobody will touch it...More for me..gets the job done and I dont get the explosive shits the next day like everyone claims, or hangovers so bad you wanna call off work...I just got off work from midnight turn, its 9am ..whats beside me? An ice cold Best ice....

2.2 Crisp, smooth, flavorful, balanced and bold. Nice barley and roasted malts in the mouthfeel.

1.1 24 oz. can from grocery store. Pour is clear/yellow. Aroma is metallic and grains. Tastes was watered down and thin.

3.7 Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. This brew is much better than what the Beer average beer connoisseur would consider. A clear golden color with a minimal white head. A nice malt flavor that is very refreshing. A pleasant and affordable surprise.

1.4 Ice cold on a 110 degree day. Kinda ’dirty’ tasting. Rice? Old grain. Dead hops. Not sickly sweet. Not nearly as awful as price and reputation would suggest.

2.4 12 oz can served in a goblet. Fizzy amber body with a quickly vanishing head. Very light body with prickly carbonation. Aroma: faint and lightly sweet Flavor: light hops and minimal malts with an aftertaste of corn. O: drinkable; i.e., a bit better than expected.

2.4 It’s brewed to be a cheap beer and delivers same. Very thin, low malt flavor, almost no hops and corn corn corn. Another good example of macro beer.

1.2 Can 710ml @ Hotel Room, Best Western Plus, Waterbury, VT Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, sweet corn and floral. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long sweet corn finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

1.6 Can, 24oz. A clear, golden beer topped by a dense, finger-thick off-white head. A malty, sweetish and fruity beer with a touch of corn. Canned pears too. It’s soft and semi-dry on the palate, yet it feels quite sweetish, at least in the flavor. Pale malts, corn, canned pears and perhaps, just perhaps a touch of bitterness. Medium body. Long, corn and pear finish. Not horrific, far, far from good. Should probably be served at freezing temp. 150610

2.2 From a 32oz can. Pours a golden color. Easy to overpour, way too much head. Decent lacing on the glass. Smell is pretty rough. It’s astingent and not inviting. I can’t quite put my finger on why it smells like that, but why would I put my finger there after smelling this? Tastes okay actually. It’s not terrible. It’s pretty strong. Perhaps stronger than many malt liquors I’ve had. It’s pretty sweet, but more rough than sweet. I’m guessing there’s a lot of corn in this. There is some bitterness, but that doesn’t contribute to the roughness. It’s weird I know. Mouthfeel is medium. It’s crisp. It finishes pretty clean. It’s dry. It’s about average for an ice beer. It does have an aftertaste that comes through LONG after a swallow. That’s not so pleasant.... Overall, I really don’t like it so much. I really like Natural Ice and Bud Ice. But this one is not so good. It comes out of a can. It’s weird, the can has the old narrow mouth on it, and it’s hard to pour. Not that it has anything to do with the beer, but it’s not a plus. BUT, for the price, and the alcohol contained therein, it’s not bad.

1.0 Pours a clear light gold color with white head. Cereal grains and a little skunk on the nose; follows onto the palate. Finishes with boozy grain.

0.5 Why? I mean, it tastes just like poo. The smell is beer(ish), basically grain & light wheatey booze, sweat. More sweat on the tongue, F this shiz. WTF

0.6 Can: Another can generously offered from a beer hockey league surplus. Another beer that isn’t even worth my time. Corn, sweet grain, lots of metallic notes, a hint of stale skunky earth. Really sharp & astringent mouth feel & flavor, pretty much as expected. Toasted cereal grains, metallic notes, wretched sweetness & skunk. This beer fucken sucks.

0.5 Can from Liquor Collection Honolulu 241214. If this is Milwaukee’s best I would hate to see their worst.

1.0 Beast Ice. That’s what it’s called. From can. Pours a fizzy yellow with metallic notes coupled with cereals and corn. Sweet and disgusting. Finishes like a college campus rape.

0.8 My beer of choice for getting hammered. I don’t like the taste of alcohol in any form, so this does the trick for the lowest price. The more drunk you get the more tolerable it is. It helps me to put lemon or lime juice in it. It actually does have that corn smell everybody talks about. Steel Reserve in the silver can works well for getting drunk fast too.

0.5 The high alcohol is all that differentiates this beer from other pale lagers. Astringent aftertaste.

2.3 Poured from can into a clear plastic cup: The labels says it’s the best in the entire city of Milwaukee. Who am I to argue? Pours yellow with a foamy white head that vanishes almost instantly. Aroma of corn and sweet malt with a nice skunk spray. Taste is pretty much the same, mildly sweet corn water. Light body, heavily carbonated. Hangover juice.

5.0 Ive been drinking platinum and Budweiser alot and switched to the Milwaukees best just a few days ago. I love the smooth sweet tast as well as the gold color. Maybe under tasteful which some may say means is watery and that is not the case because if it was ypu would tast the hogh percentage of alcohol more. Love thos beer cant believe its so cheap ill be buying it every time i have leave from the Army .

1.8 Not as horrible as I expected. Not much of an aroma just a hint of bread. Looks like apple juice not much head. Not much taste just a hint of malt and yeast. Watery feel with a skunky palate.

2.4 Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a pint glass. The appearance was a yellow color with no head no matter how many times I’ve poured this. The smell had a mild grassy/iced corn aroma. The taste followed the nose with a metallic sort of off flavoring. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a sessionability that should be there but it’s hard to get past the taste. Overall, I can’t say that I liked this beer. For the style, it seemed like it was just a tad under par.

2.5 Can @ Presidential Suite. Picked this garbage up at a gas station somewhere in Bloomington, IL. Clear golden pour with a white head. Typical smells of corn, apple, and grass. A bit watery and just sort of sweet. Not as bad as I’d anticipated. Just sweet and corny. Some grain and apple juice, a bit of soapy bitterness. Mildly grassy. Sort of twangy.

1.5 24 fl. oz can. Golden in the glass, high carbonated, short living foamy white head. Low sour grain and mash on the nose. Tastes like not so sweet limonade. Maybe malty hints in the background. Cheap.

1.7 Can during RBSG 2014 Grand Tasting at Schlafly Tap Room. Aromas of skunk, citrus, lemon lime. Tastes of skunk, booze, lemons. Light body with a dry finish.
