Keystone Ice:
As we enter the magic number day of this month of poor decision making, I decide to get on track with the help of Keith Stone. The brew, Keystone Ice, is a tall boy offered by the fine people of Coors (brewer and distributor) bring what is the highlight in this first week. I never really paid much attention to the Keystone line, really only seeing in empty can form in homeless camps during prior employments, so I associated it with really cheap beers and a cheap drunk. Now, as this blog/contest has shown, being a cheap brew doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, just…cheap. This tall boy pours well with a initially quick forming head that dissipates so fast that it wasn’t even around for the picture. The nose is not that great, reminding me of a room of cardboard. The flavor is one of initial sweetness with a middle tongue finish of a light lager. Not a bad surprise considering the first two this month but again, the bar has been set very low anyway with Natty Daddy (that still makes me laugh when I say it), though if I am in need a cheap large beer for a night, this one will probably fit the bill, but then again we have 28 more of these to try. Dear Lord, 28 more…ugh.
