Keystone Ice
Coors Brewing Company (Molson-Coors)

 

 

I had one of these bad boys about five years ago from a gas station that was selling all their tallboy cans and 40s at half off. They replaced the el cheapo beer with White Claws and Twisted Tea and a bunch of other malternative crap. I prefer even bad beer to that artificially flavored and colored garbage. However.

This is nasty. I've knocked back a few Bud Ices in my day so I know that ice beers can be drinkable. This tastes less like an ice beer and more like a high gravity malt liquor. That fusel kick, the dehydrating alcohol burn, the rotten cabbage aftertaste. Just awful. You'd have to pre-game hard to get through this one without flinching.

Ended up being a drain pour. And that's something as I can usually down a 40 no problem. They don't make this anymore and I can't say that I'm surprised.

 

 

Best beer that used to be around. Too bad the Russians are bitches and can’t keep their shit off the shelves.

 

L- Bright gold body in the glass, nice constant bubbles rising to the top. White head disappears quickly.
S- smells like an AAL, like a beer. Nothing off.
T- Honey, crackers. Maybe some malt liquor.
F- Acceptable mouth feel. Some carbonation, but not over the top.
O- Surprisingly Okay beer. Despite the low ratings on BA. Recommend buying this if low on funds and looking for a beer to drink.

 

 

This is the best ice beer on the market. Very light colored gold body, smell is of bread crusts and grain, very pleasant overall. Taste is the same as the smell, no really metallic/sourness to speak of on this beer, and is actually quite tasty. This is a go to beer for an easy drinking lager with a little kick. I wish I could find the 30 packs around here, it would be a staple in my fridge. The 24 oz cans aren’t bad for a relaxing cold beer on a hot night.

 

Drank from a 12 ounce can. Scores are based on the style.

Look - The can is pretty slick looking, I like it. The color scheme is appealing, the font is big and impactful, it's just good. Gets you ready for a brawl.

Smell - Canned peaches. I can't get anything else out of it. Incredibly sweet, sickly so.

Taste - Grass clippings and maple syrup. Almost undrinkable.

Feel - Thin and overly bubbly. The effervescence at least keeps the taste from lingering.

Overall - A bad beer, even for an ice beer. I'll have to turn down any future offers of this one.

 

And I thought Keystone was bad.
Amplify the nastiness of Keystone and add nail polish remover.
You got this beer.
Good for cleaning drains.

 

I honestly have low standards when it comes to most beer, but Coors Keystone Ice is a NEW low. I tried Natural Ice before this one and I thought that was bad... Keystone is on a whole new L.

Save a $10 bill for something else. This is not worth it.

I am not the type to dumb beer out. I had to dump this out.

In my college days I would purchase keystone light because for $15 I could acquire 36 stones. I was appalled to see that keystone has the gall to create an “ice” version. I purchased this because I figured the 5.9% abv was worth it. It was not. This is not a good beer. Plain and simple. I took two sips and dumped it out.

12oz can stamped SEP 0720 poured into a vintage Coors glass at fridge temp 5.9% ABV. The beer pours bright pale gold with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin ring and single layer of tiny bubbles. The aroma is musty grain, vegetable oil & slight tart. The taste is semisweet & tangy, corny & vegetable with moderate bitterness for the thin feel. Highly carbonated and mostly dry. A touch of diacetyl on the finish. Overall, poor to ok. Best done ice cold.
