Okay, I already wrote this review once before, so I hope I can recapture my true feelings on it that I had in the original review. This beer was given to me at Zach's 30th surprise party, and was my finisher beer for the night, by choice mostly.

Ken's Review

Taste: D Taste is one of the strongest negatives of Beer 30 Ice. The initial 0.6 seconds it hits your mouth is not bad, but then you get a horrible burst of taste reminiscent of Robitussin mixed with metal mixed with gasoline. I had already had a choice number of brews by this point, but I am quite certain that as a starter or finisher beer this is not where you want to go.

Packaging: B Packaging is kind of odd, in my opinion, on this beer. The words BEER, 30, and ICE are all in giant letters, and there is a small depiction of a mountain behind the word BEER. I don't know if this means it is supposed to be mountain-aged, or what. But if I were on a mountain with this stuff I would throw it off.

Value: C I didn't pay for this beer, and I don't know what it costs, but I'm still going to give it a value on prinipal of its shittyness. Any amount of money paid for this beer is a waste, and the only time I would recommend trying this would be when you can for free. That way, when you regret the first swallow, you won't have a lighter wallet because you spent money for it.

Drunkeness: C- This beer comes in at the 5-5.5% range, which isn't really anything special in terms of content. The low marks on this come from your more-than-likely inability to actually have the sac to get drunk on it. And even if you can put these away to the point of getting drunk, I cannot image the excrusiation you will have to deal with bringing it back up. Put your money elsewhere if you want to get drunk.

Overall: C- I will give this overall score solely because while this stuff tastes like ass and comes across as its better purpose being to degrease an engine, it is not the worst swill I have ever had. I don't agree with it being drank at all, but while it rests at the bottom of the alcohol taste chain, you may find a few others beneath it in the list that might make you regret this choice a little less.
