COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Busch Ice has a rich, smooth taste with exceptional drinkability and a slightly sweet finish. Busch Ice undergoes Anheuser-Busch’s exclusive ice-brewing process, which takes the beer to a temperature below freezing. This leads to the formation of ice crystals in the finishing process, which help create its rich, smooth taste. Ice beer is rumored to have been developed by accident in Germany during Oktoberfest celebrations. A particularly cold year froze the celebrated bock beers, which are traditionally brewed for spring, and a new taste was noticed by the drinkers.

Another loser from Anheuser. 12 oz. can. Pours out a little darker than water, but not much more than that. Thin white head leaves quickly. Typical aromas, a little rice, not much else. No hops aromas, but I wasn’t expecting any. Practically flavorless. Decent enough for hot summer weather, but not much else.

everything said of busch goes doubly so for busch ice. Its not so bad if you dont consider it beer. Its just water with alcohol in it and a mild skunk aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours yellow with an average sized white head. Aroma of corn, grain, and alcohol. Flavor is pretty much a beefy version of busch, i liked this better than the regular version and the light version. But still not good.

blech...I’m rating these cause they were stapels. Bland yellow color with some alchol in the smell and flavor. Not much bitterness. Worse as it warms

Yup. Definitely this is a straight-up "COLLEGE ONLY" beer. I’d take Steel Reserve over this stuff.

Ugh. Yet another "college" beer I had to endure while playing "beer pong." I had a hard time trying to gulp this. To the bins!
