Part of a review on Molson-Coors products I did, pre-merger. I opted for this offering from Molson over Golden. Both are in green bottles (I have a severe green bottle paranoia), but I know that this is fresher as the liquor store I worked at went through 2-3 cases a weak of Ice verses 2-3 cases a month of Golden. From notes.
Appearance: Golden, much like the Coors, short lived white head, no lacing (as expected).
Smell: Unbelievable the first two beers I had were unskunked, yet did not have anyother noticeable aromas. When I opened one after work today and drank it from the bottle I noticed a skunk aroma. Hopefully consuming it from the bottle forced the aroma to be conetrated.
Taste: Slighty malty, a little grainy, slightly sweet.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied for a lager, no aftertaste.
Drinkability: Its ok, but my experience with this beer is I have to drink them quickly or else they tend to skunk. I will have to have at least one other "Ice" beer to compair this to, but as far as macro produced adjunct lagers go, I'd just as soon not purchase this one again.

Molson ice is twice as nice like Dangerfield compared to Dice.
Update 8/23: Poems are lame, people who write the same.

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.

Bottle pour into a tulip glass.
Yellow golden appearance with a foamy white head. Grass, malt, metal. Medium to light body, medium carbonation, crisp finish.

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.
