355ml can, from the singles bin at my local Liquor Chain Barn Mart Depot outlet. Really? A new 'ice' beer? Really? 1994 just called, and they want their beer marketing schtick back.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden colour, with two fingers of thinly foamy white head, which bleeds away like a multiple gunshot victim, leaving a surprising, yet few instances of mesa-esque lace around the glass.
It smells of sweet, sugary corn mash, a sort of grape-flavoured vodka essence, and musty, dusty, um, 'hops'. The taste is somewhat bready generic cereal malt, fake fruity grape candy, a slightly phenolic alcohol note, sans any real accompanying heat, and a very slight nondescript dryness - not a normal tasting metric, but it's hardly fair to drag the innocent hop through any more mud at this point.
The carbonation is quite tame and damned near inert, the body on the far side of medium-light in weight, and really rather smooth - but you already knew that, right? We all did. Anyways, it finishes off-dry, the corny sweetness abating a wee bit, and the admirably restrained cheap booze providing one weird-ass semblance of, well, balance.
Not good, but nowhere near as bad as I might have imagined - this is plainness, white bread, Walmart, McDonald's, and the Toyota Corolla all rolled into a beer. Inoffensive, with 10% more alcohol (I'll wait while you do the math....ok) to sass things up, but really just another sad rearrangement of the chairs on the deck of the good ship BMC.

Pounder can from the clearance aisle. Actually looks pretty good. But looks can be deceiving. And they are. Nasty, musty, pasty aroma, wet paper smell. Taste does not improve things, corny, overly sweet flavors. Every time I go back for another sip, it loses points. The beautiful foamy head is the lone saving grace, and that disappears pretty quickly. Hobo piss indeed. And I thought Nigeria Pal was bad....

This is what one buys as a college student looking for a cheap buzz.
