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.

Had this in a 24 oz. can. Maybe it wasn’t cold enough, but the flavor was actively bad. It gave me a buzz, though. If you ever drink this, have it as cold as possible to keep that flavor from rearing its ugly head.

10/5/07 From 24oz can. Aroma is sweet, crisp and corny as hell. Appearance is very yellow with a low white head. Flavor is simple and artificial with rice, corn and some kind of slightly earthy hop extract. This is weird and carbonic and I presume left me slightly sterile. Mouthfeel is light bodied, watery, spritzy, with a high carb texture. Overall, this is drinkable, but has such low character, I really wish it was a 12oz can so I could finish it twice as fast. It’s like watching masterpiece theater reruns with a bottle of wild turkey in your lap; bland and white trash all at the same time.

Imagine the flavorless busch light. Now take that, and throw in more alcohol. That’s all you are getting with this beer. Buy this or any other ’ice’ beer for similar tastes and similar effects - get drunk quicker for less money.

Another supercan purchase to sip while strolling the Vegas Strip, another supercan discard after about 10 sips. "Bland" is being complimentary of this featureless macro,

I thought Bush Light was bad until I ran into this, now this is really bad.

Typical male, dorm beer pong material. Tastes little better than battery acid, but hell, you’ll be rowdy and raucus in no time. SUPER CHEAP
