Molson ice is twice as nice like Dangerfield compared to Dice.

Remember grabbin these babies out of a 12 pack for my pops back in the 90's. Green bottle, black and silver logo then more akin to a molson XXX of today. Having with lunch, pours a decent lasting white head, smell doesnt give much of anything untypical of the style. Taste is clean enough, brewed in golden, co for the states version im trying. Decent enough.

This is the perfect beer of Hockey season! You want a cold beer for fall after Oktoberfest is over and you are short on cash but need to get blasted, this is your Canadian Knight in shinning armor. 5.7% ABV and a 6 pack, made by Coors now, so it has that rocky mountain Golden Colorado water flavor, good malt, and freeze method to make it smooth. The drink-ability of this beer is superb for college kids, but the snobs after they get married and become hobbyists will turn their noses up to this. I happen to like this beer and will give it a 3/5. This beer is not trying to be best in show, this beer is trying to be that college buddy that wants your hockey team to win, tell a funny joke and check in on you when you are in need.

Quite a nice AAL. Bought a double deuce for beer butt chicken; poured about 6 oz into a can for cooking and the rest into a wheat ale glass. Clear, golden and with a fizzy head that didn't last long. Big corny and grain aromas. Nice smooth flavor, more corn, grain, white bread, a just a bit of a floral hop finish. Much better than expected. Although, as a lifelong Michigander it should not have taken until today for me to try it.

(24 oz can, code NOV2519... poured into 28 oz mug)
L: crystal-clear, pale gold liquid; tall swell of tight, white, moussy foam on the pour, billowy, rocky crest above glass rim - looks fantastic, pre sips... the foam retention and contour is top-shelf - - what a beaut!... cap keeps, crust collects
S: cookie-like, biscuity malt scent, bit of cakey sugars on the tips... with subsequent refills, the intensity of the grain aromas drops sharply, leaving only a faint fragrant spiciness
T: dry, pear/apple fruit note up front; mellow, dinner roll malt aftertaste... little residual bitterness, but a subtle metallic twang lingers (am I dehydrated??)... second sips and beyond extend an almost pale bock malty goodness, but with a dull, dry swipe of any underlying complexity (too bad)
F: sort of a medium-plus bodied flow, sporting a long, warm finish... dry, but fulfilling, also leaving a soft, gummy smear on the palate... well tailored to those who enjoy some dainty junk
O: everyone needs a 28 oz mug to hold their malt likkers when stylin' en-casa... the striking green bottles became a brief mainstay in my home fridge back in high school after a sloppy incident when the proverbial alcoholic cat was let out of the bag - and I must admit I wasn't the culprit of the shameful event, though I did manage to finagle a bottle once or twice as a result... if one dabbles and/or dallies in the realm of AALs, this is a high mark, a treat - - but it's really more related to the malt liquor, and a crackin' example at that - an eminently repeatable indulgence... haven't had this in a damn long time, but I'm goin' back tomorrow fo mo (1410)

Poured from 12 oz bottle into pint glass. Thin white head, pale straw color. Aroma of sweet grain. Mouthfeel is light and frothy. Flavor is too heavy on the sweetness, somewhat cloying with little to no hop balance. Overall: I occasionally enjoy an Ice beer, but I will not be trying this one again.

Drank a fair amount of it when we lived in Michigan about 18 years ago. Wasn't the greatest beer, I have it at just below average at 2.75. The beer store down the street always had great deals on 12 packs of this, so at a good price, it was worth drinking.

A smooth and easy drinking ice beer. Molson Ice hits the mark. Very refreshing on a hot summer day. One of the best ice beers. Put it in the freezer and drink ice cold. Cheers.

This beer is solid for the summer heat. Color is basic straw of macro beer. Aroma is actually fairly weak, I was expecting more. However, the taste is interesting. First thing on the palate is mixed berries. Then a little sourdough bread. Slight alcohol taste follows which i don't mind in these styles of beer.
Finishes really crisp and icy with some malt. I would certainly choose this if I was looking for a great Ice beer to drink while being outside in some humid weather. Definitely more of a flavor punch than most macro ice beers and slightly less carbonated which i love. Give this beer a grade of B-

24 ounce can into lager glass, best before 8/20/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/metallic aromas, but not overwhelming. Okay aromas with pale malt/corn and mild earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Mildly increasing warmth of alcohol through the glass. Overall this is a pretty good pale adjunct lager style. All around nice robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery. Other than the slightly off aromas, this was really tasty. Very clean barley/grain flavors and solid earthy hop balance. Not overdone on adjuncts. A nicely enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Pretty close to the regular, but more flavorful and fuller mouthfeel as expected.

This beer was $1.06 for a 24 oz can. That’s cheaper than water. It’s more flavorful than Bud Light. Not interesting, but decent for the price and smooth.
