Icehouse:
So it’s come to this, the 100th day of the “challenge” and I’m drinking a tall boy of an ice beer. Oh happy day. So lets get this train a rollin’, shall we? Icehouse beer, Union brewed at Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee is another middle of the road lager that really doesn’t impress or leave anything for a memory to grasp onto. Sporting 5.5% ABV, this runs about the same as most other beers, this is really more of a tall boy and not a malt. Actually pours very well, with a good foam head and a high carbonation and a bread nose. The beer tastes EXACTLY like all other ice beers I’ve had this year, a chemically alcoholic taste that lingers throughout the tasting. A slight hop flavor initially is very very very very very quickly dissipated into an airy fume flavor on the backend. This one was difficult, mainly because I thought it might be different but nope, hopes dashed, parade rained on, Santa Claus ain’t real. You know what’s really bad? I got one more “ice” beer to go that I know of, maybe even more next time I roll to the QT to restock. This month is really living up to it’s name. Till tomorrow friends and neighbors.
