Bud Ice is a very fizzy lager, having high levels of carbonation and a sweet-ish taste with a dry finish. Light body and light taste. Good beer to get trashed on.

I would rate it lower if I could. Immitation beer at its finest, and a wonderful example of capitalism in action, that is, making the cheapest product possible and selling for highest price market will allow. Acquisition wholesale cost = 25 cents, sells for $2.50 and up at restaurants. Calling this thing beer is disrepectful to the word, and the entire concept of the tradition.

12 ounce bottle. Classic macro brew for less tha $1.00 not worth a comment.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours a typical pale lager golden color with a small white head. The aroma is sweet corn. The taste is a malt corn with a metallic finish. You get what you paid for with this one, 12 pack of bottles for 6.99, the best of all the ice beers and way better than bud ice light.

not much of a beer, watered down taste more like something to get drunk with

Big pretty 24 oz can, 2 oz more than a bomber! Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Decent head for a pale lager. Sparkling in the glass a tad. First pop, quite sour or tart in the smeller but that changes to a more clear cloaca aroma in the glass. Some corn flavors. Not a really strong flavor ice compared to other ice beers out there. must be due to it’s rather low (for an ice) alky content 5.5%. Not too bad for a pale lager but certainly can use some manners. Finish is mild industry with slight dipsomaniac linger. Not quite up to AB standards. Does have a soda water character towards the end of the can.

Just like its other counterparts in the Anheuser-Busch family. Pale yellow with very little aroma or taste. This one just has slightly more alcohol, but still plain bad.
