Kokanee Glacier Frost

Formerly brewed at Columbia Brewery (Labatt-InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Creston, Canada

a very disgusting beer. Tasted like a cheap american malt liquor. Not something ill ever partake of again.

Let me just say that someone in admin should post Josh’s rating in the Quote Of The Day window! That generated a Top 3 RateBeer laugh for me! GOLDEN! Ahhh... Now about the beer: just read the reviews below and you’ll get the picture. Forgettable at best.

It’s like a watered down Labatts. Transparent yellow with a white head. Aroma = None. Flavor = Little. Palate = Carbonation. The alcohol content reported as 5%, which I am sure is grossly overstated.

Gold colour,weak head,carb medium,aroma or lack of,lemon,salt air,flavour,bread like,a slight vegetable taste,mild bitter finish plus dry,tasted worse.

Golden clear and minimal thin head. Soapy looking in the glass. Thin, corny with less flavour then the original. Very thin and flavourless.

(Bottle) I’m not going to write quite as much as Josh as I really don’t want to over-think this beer. Clear, big head/ Nose is skunky (was this intensional as its from a bottle at a festival?) with a mild juniper odor. Thin milky flavour gives was to a grainery of spent, moldy grasses. Piss poor.

Yowch! What weight has my review after Josh’s Opus on corporate brewing boardroom banality....the market hype for this beer may be the product of insulated executive trend mongering, but the brewer took the right direction at least in a small way...it is at least, a light/pale all-malt lager. ...decent heading, fair aroma of sweet malts ( unlike it’s sibling Kokanee which has a 25% dextrin bite and body). Problem with this beer is although it has a light malt character it is very thin in the body and watery in the mouth...of course I served it at a proper serving temp for a all malt beer about 48-50 deg. F....I suppose they(Inbev marketers) have designs of serving it as half frozen slush like Coors. So from the brewery;s accountant and brew master’s perspective you don’t want to waste a lot of good malt on a drink who’s main sales pitch is selling the taste of ice when it is served far too cold to taste...besides good malt protein just clouds up the drink at those temperatures....they want ice ya give em ice...not rich malting.

I thought this beer was good. Something a little different from our friends at the Columbia Brewery. It has a nice clean break, beautiful golden colour and a nice subtle hopping. This beer was also extremely refreshing.....the kind of beer that makes you want to drink more.
