Either that, or I fell into a time machine.


I just bought a twelve pack of "Premium Beer" for 1$.   Yes, One Dollar.
It was originally 2.99 and was reduced with magic marker to 1$.   Yes, that's right.  12 cans for 1$.

8 CENTS a can.



Pics inbound.

It's called "Game Time Ice"

Sure enough, it says "Premium Beer" on it.  There was a stack of twelve packs in front of the register with a sign that said.  1$/12 pack.

Should have bought them all and stashed it away for barter at a later time.

Im gonna go look for some if they have it around here.

Edited...It's made in LaCrosse, WI, which means it is made in the same equipment that made Heilemans Old Style.

In. My experience, cheaper beer gives heinous hangovers! But for a buck? Worth it! I remember one night after getting back from the field in the Army, me and my room mate found miluakees best ice on sale for $4.99 a 24 pack and we were excited! Also still drunk the next morning at PT.

As stated, make beer bread with it. The cheap fruity flavor that people wrote about on the beer website may just taste good in a bread made from it.

Really shiity beer apparently.



The reviews posted above should tell you enough...even at a $1/12...overpaid.



––––

It was $1.39 at 7-11 for a 24 oz can. I was hoping it would be stronger than 5.5%, but it's not. Here we go.



It
looks like a macro lager. There's nothing out of place here. Even holds
a fair cap on top. Pale and clear, but sort of dull colored. Hangs a
little lacing on the glass as well.



Boozy scent of apple and alcohol. Too cold to start noticing the corn, I assume.



Are
my taste buds off? This is oddly fruity. No, it's the grape/apple
flavors that turn up in dirt cheap beer. And ugh, the aftertaste is vile
and far more present than it should be. Borders on gag-inducing. A
favorite like Steel Reserve finishes so much cleaner than this while
packing more alcohol. Something very artificial going on here. The
grainy flavor I expected isn't really there, nor the corn flakes that
something like Icehouse provides. Even the trace amounts of hops one can
expect to find in macro lagers are not present. Cheap estery booze
flavors seem to dominate.



If I choose to let this linger in my
mouth long enough to examine the feel, I find that it's not particularly
offensive, but the flavor is gross enough that the total experience is a
negative.



Ugh, this is bad, and I am having a hard time
imagining warming up to it. I'll stick with Steel Reserve. 5.5% abv is
not even enough to result in an effective buzz without choking down a
few of these. I think I need to bring out the F. Pay the extra few cents
for an Icehouse, PBR, or Steel Reserve, depending on the amount of
drunkenness you want to achieve. Pay for this only to tick off the
review. It's truly dreadful.

Buy it ALL!!!




Review:

I knew it was supposed to be bad, but I enjoy bad beer and thought nothing of it. Well I'm here to tell you this isn't bad... it's wrong!

It smells like grape Hubba Bubba bubble gum. The only thing I can compare it too is 12% ABV Earthquake, or maybe Camo Silver Ice. Either way this smells way too much like artificial grape flavoring. Supporting scents are pennies and garbage water.




I thought Narragansett Beer was bad, but at least it tasted like bad beer.

EACH CAN COSTS 50 CENTS!

I just poured some into a glass for the review but it's better straight from the can. This is not glass beer. Maybe a coffee cup with a lid for when you're pulling an all nighter at the train station after a long night of panhandling. Then it is damn good beer.

A - like urine with urine bubbles instead of foam

S- not much there but I've said the same for A rated beers. I get some sweet corny malt and alcohol soaked in ashtray pennies that I got panhandling.
