| Ice beers evolved out of a fusion of technology, tradition and marketing. The minor tradition of "ice" beers of Germany were blended with a tradition of higher alcohol malt liquors in North America and launched into a new life with the modern technology of precise control of very cold temperatures. |
| Like a balance to the growth of lower alcohol "light"alternatives, the "dry" and "ice" beer phenomona offered smooth flavour, with alcohols above the average 4.5 to 5.0 % vol.. |
| The evolving beer market showed a great desire for smoother, sweeter, lighter flavours but some consumers asked why this was only available in beers with reduced alcohol volumes. |
| Several years on from their introduction, several brands of "dry" and "ice'" beer continue to perform as significant brands in their marketplaces today. |
| The flavour focus of most "dry" and "ice" beers is akin to most "light" lagers; crisp, clean and very smooth. Aroma more prominent than aftertaste. |
