Well, in my original review I completely did not like the unique taste of this 40 & gave it a low rating. However, years later now, my opinion has greatly changed. The cap was practically impossible to crack, seemingly glued on. With some struggling and several attempts I finally broke the seal and am in! The first swig was pretty good, with a faint fruity tone to it. Definitely easy going on the pallet. I think I'm in for an enjoyable ride. I look forward to each upcoming sip! Now I am just over halfway through & am still really enjoying this smooth beer 40... I think I'm even starting to get aroused from it! I ate meatloaf alongside this brew, and it was definitely complimentary. I wish I had some crack to smoke on right now, for then life would truly be complete. The swill is ok... a little watery, a little rundown. Finished it up while watching the new WWE-owned ECW on the Sci-Fi channel. No buzz and a great & unique taste give this "bad beer" forty 8/10 swills! Thanks out to Fat John & neufutur for the 2 times I got to drink this!

Have been wanting this 40 forever. Finally got it, but tastes fucking terrible and provides ZERO buzz. Only ice beer I've ever seen that doesn't list the % on the label. Which means it must 5% or lower, according to federal law. Tastes just like the regular old man Schlitz, which isn't very good. However, I'll admit it's better than the Beast 40 that Chino is attempting to get down, just to add another bottle to his collection.........bleeeaaaahhh! 3/10

I swear the shit was old when i drank it.It tasted super flat.Other than being flat the shit wasn't bad.No kinda buzz from it at all though.I wanna try a fresh one someday to give a real review but for now this is all i have.Swill was swill.Nothing too great nor terrible.overall this shit wasn't great though.Maybe if it was fresher i'd think different but until i drink another i'm gonna have to hit it up with a rating of 3 out of 10 swills.

thanx to myliverhurts for this one. i had wanted it a very long time. i had been teased with sightings of 12 oz cans in indiana but never a 40. now it would seem that possibly the 40s are only available in michigan. i am a fan of the regular schlitz beer 40s so this was a natural progression. i got a decent crack off of it and the first taste brought me back to around 1994 when i had some of my first drunken escapades, supplied by some other ice brews which were just hitting the scene at the time: icehouse and miller lite ice. right away it had the distinctive 'ice' flavor. the buzz was very minor, as i had not drank ni a few days previous yet i still got almost no buzz from this thing. it tasted good top to bottom and i thoughouly enjoyed it. i would love to bring back a case of these from michigan. excellent stuff.

Well, compared to Grolsch ( my fave 5% beer) schlitz Ice aint shit so I guess thats what made the taste worse movin from Grolsch to that.
. But eiather way I'd drink again. Thanks out to Detroit40ouncer the dude I buy 40s by the mutha fuckin case from! 7 out of 10 swills, would be a higher rating if it fucked me up more.
. This is one that I have been wanting ever since I became a member of the 40oz
Crew. Had a really nice crack to it and the smell was typical of bad beer. 1st swig and this had bad beer written all over it. Which is nice because I'm a
big fan of bad beers, especially those that are "Ice". Very smooth tasting, not alot of carbonation. This is almost like a light beer in some ways. I
put it down in about 15 minutes. The buzz wasn't as great as I would have thought. I've had this out of a can many years ago and used to buy it alot
because it was very cheap and a 12pack would fuck you up pretty good. When I found out it still existed in a 40 I had to have it. Overall 8/10 swills. Would
have been higher if the buzz factor was a little higher. I've give it a better than decent score for the kickass label and the fact that this 40 was one
that I had wanted for a long time.
