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.

Get it in the camo packs. Canned. Busch with the maybe a little more booze and "ice filtering." Whatever that means. Again only worth a broke drunkerds time.

Health piss. Medium white head. Aroma: Malt, chemicals. Flavor: Corn, toilet bowl cleaner. Finish: Something DuPont would spill in the river. Ice Beers are brewed for a cheap drunk. Bums: Molson Ice, Ice House, Bud Ice or any Malt Liquor is better. Still, it beats Natty Ice but that isn’t saying much.

College beer and nothing more. Or as we called it at 33 Clayton "Blackout juice."

Well, it has a relatively high alcohol content, and that’s the only upside. A horrid mess of metal and slight hay and cereal.

Can. You know this wasn’t as bad as I would have originally thought. It pours a rather deep, sickly urine color with a rather dense white head that has very little retention and no lacing. Aroma is big corn, esters, formaldihyde, some vegetal notes. Big seltzer mouthfeel with a slightly creamy body. Taste is pretty much typical macro lager but has a bit more depth. At 6.7%, it’s not quite a malt liquor or full ice beer, which is probably why it is overall inoffensive. Not bad. I was terrified to try it but now I’m a firm believer.

Ugh...I’ve gone on a cheap beer kick and this is awful. Barely any aroma. What was there was mostly metal. Pour was a medium gold with not many bubbles and no head. Taste was nasty. Lightly carbonated corn water with no aftertaste. Near syrupy which isn’t good for a pale lager. Blah. No wonder the 8 pack was only 7 dollars. Less than a dollar a beer is nature’s warning side.

Oh my word... I’m not a big fan of ice beers, but this is far from one of the best (though that’s like picking the shiniest turd).
