Milwaukee's Best Ice:
Well here we go again dear readers. After doing this for almost a week, I think I have a pattern down for the time being. Until I run out of tall boy beers, I’ll be alternating malt liquor with a tall boy beer. While they aren’t the best beers in the world, they beat the taste of the malt liquors that I’ve been trying. So, we did a malt yesterday, today, a beer, and what a beer! Look at that can, it’s a full 8oz bigger than the normal tall boy and I’m sure it’s just that much bigger to contain the beast. That’s right, I have sampled the beast and lived. Milwaukee’s Best Ice, another one in those ice beers that seem to draw so much attention for no real reason. The beer is a typical lager with the golden color and a nice thick foamy head, there is little nose in the pour but after the head dissipates there is a lingering smell of grain and bread. The taste is very plain with a ethanol flavor on the front-end and back end of light bread and alcohol. A respectable 5.9%ABV keeps this out of the range of most malt liquors but in the range of normal beers. After learning about the downside of ice brews (the blindness for one), this isn’t exactly going to be high on my list of must have. Not my first dance with the beast, first time was in Bemidji, Minnesota while I talked settlement on a burned down barn with a guy. Interesting time, it’s hard to keep a straight serious face while tossing back this line of beers, but I did manage it, finish the beer and make a settlement. I’m sure I’ll hit up the beast again before the year is out and gladly, I have gotten this one out of the way.
