Reviews:

Bruz: Just got home, early work day. Had an appointment in south Jersey where I signed the guy into a $235,000 loan which I'll wind up making $2500 on. I was turtle-heading so I grabbed this 40 outta the fridge & cracked it while squatting down on the toilet to release my poo. I'm experiencing 2 great feelings at once: the unloading of 3 pounds of unhealthy feces from my ass, and the crisp refreshing taste of this good clean beer. It's only 3:45pm (didn't feel like driving back to the office today - my job rules like that) & this is hitting the spot. Wiped my ass, neglected to wash my hands, and am now eating some pistachios with it. Bustin out the Bravos nacho cheese chips as well. The rest of the 40 was smooth, I actually feel a bit of a buzz happening, and it made me have to piss bad just as I was killin the swill. Dare I say this is the best "bad beer" 40oz ever? I dare. I fucking give this 9/10 swills. I feel like a newbie giving an ignorantly high-ass rating like that to a beer, but I really enjoyed this 40, I got the lil' buzz (c'mon, even tho it's not a malt, it's still 5.9%) and the taste was beautiful. If it was a malt it woulda gotten a 10/10. Thanks out to the malt hunter extraordinnaire MyLiverHurts for this great 40!


fizzmaster: Sure, it ain't much on flavor, but it definitely doesn't taste bad and it goes down mad smoove. I was surprised at how much I liked this 40. Its a perfect 4 to drink in the afternoon, and a good way to start a night of heavy drinking. Gets props from me for being so damn easy to pound. 7.5/10


LMSCRacer: Picked this up at a rural gas station about 30 miles west of Memphis along I-30 in Arkansas on a trip to Dallas and couldn't wait to blast it. Did it while cleaning up my car and truck after returning.

Strong hiss off the crack. The initial sips of this nearly frozen (I stashed in the freezer for about a half hour) were outstanding. As the brew lost it's chill, it started to lose it's flavor. By the swill, I was struggling to get it down. This on a day the high temp was under 70 and I wasn't exactly sipping as opposed to blasting. Still, a nice ice start to a drinking session the included several 2X4's I picked up for my collection.

If you drink this, chill it to a near frozen state and drink it quickly.

MB Ice is a far better choice in the 5.9 class.

Nice, strong looking label, but I can't taste the label, so sadly, 4/10 swills. I expected better and was let down by AB.


MarkBlackout: I found this in Brooklyn right around De Kalb and Broadway. $1.75 stick-on. Despite the attractive label, rest assured this is a bad beer, folks. The 'born-on' date was only a month prior, but it is fairly fucking flat. Luckily, despite the ice-factor, its a pretty light brew, avoiding a syrupy, slippery, nauseous slide down the icy slopes pictured on the label. Still, I think Busch Ice tastes pretty shitty.. a tad metallic, not enough of a 'beer' flavor, somehow. I prefer regular Busch. The poundability remains high. Buy it if you see it. 7 out of 10 swills.


orentha: This 40 had a decent crack to it. I was suprised.
I definately wasn't looking forward to drinking this though

I'm not an ice fan at all, so I always steer clear of it. I've had Busch and Busch Light on many occasions. Thats what poor college students drank... and it always fucked up my stomach the next day.
So I was hoping everything would be fine this time. Granted I was only drinking this ice 40, and not tons.

first sip was pretty decent actually. not the crap I was expecting... come to think of it, it tastes super similiar to the Natty Ice 40 I drank.
went down nice and easy watching a movie. I was in no rush, so the swill was fairly warm by the end, and still wasn't bad.
It kinda impressed me.

i'll say: 6/10


SanJose40Drinker: started drinking this while i was watching UFC 81: Breaking Point

was nearing the half way point when Frank Mir Vs. Brock Lesnar match up started!

looking forward to this brew from others review, i was immensely disappointed. Thought it was going to be a crisp refreshing 40, but it was bland and boring at most. The fact that i was already fucked up when i started it probably didnt help.

The fact that Mir ended up submitting the oh holy Brock Lesnar made my up for the boring flavorless 40


troobie: I am a fan of A-B products. I drink Bud and Bud Ice, and of course Natty Ice. I like all of them. This Bush Ice fucking SUCKS! This is the WORST ice beer I've ever had. According to the born on date it is less than a month old, and I had it in the freezer for an hour, but the taste is shit. It has one of the most bitter, sour tastes I've had in a mass produced bad beer. To be fair, this isn't my first time trying it and I didn't like it the first time either but thought I'd give it another go. It definitely tastes like an A-B beer, but they fucked up on this one. Stick with Natty Ice if you want an A-B ice beer.

Much better buzz than I expected, but fucking horrible taste. 2/10 and that is being generous because it is cheap.
