8% ABV and cheap.
I have only seen this beer in 24 oz cans, sold singly at one Circle K. It is close to $2 a can or 2 for $3.50. It tastes strong, both in regular Icehouse flavor and in regards to alcohol. It tastes better, to me, than Natty Ice or Old E.
Selling points: it's potent, cheap and not too bad.
Bad points: it doesn't taste great, or even good. It tastes like you are trying to get fucked up for cheap. Also, I have to drive ten minutes out of my way on the way home to find it.

Strangely with all our german beer culture beers above 5 abv are a rarity in regular stores. You need to pay extra for anything that`s out of the norm.
Cheap? There`s the door drunk...
Drink!

Re: Icehouse Edge
This beer has the expotentialy greater hangover versus drunk. It's all that extra sugar. The way I figure, and I do some figuring, one 24oz of these is approximately equal to 4 regular beers. I had 2 of these, after work, Friday. So, that would be roughly an equivalent 8 beers in a relatively short time.
Anyway...potent beer, more potent hangover.
Will not drink again.....until Friday, maybe.

Re: Icehouse Edge
strong beers are no joke, this is a serious engagement and well worth your 10 minute detour. Without pain there cannot be pleasure

Re: Icehouse Edge
Doesn't driving 10 minutes out of the way negate somewhat from the value of this fantastic hangover inducer?

Re: Icehouse Edge
a ten minute drive can be a 45 mintue walk and an extra super strength lager
