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.

A light corny aroma. Very pale gold with a substantial white head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is very pale malt. Finishes with virtually no hop and something of a papery taste. After awhile some bitter does seem to come forth, but not much.

Just Busch with the fictitious "ice filtering" procedure. Not worth drinking at any temperature.

I think I offered this to a bum once and he even threw it away. One of the worst beverages in history.

shrubber85 (4832) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - JUN 16, 2007
Can. Sour, old vegetable malt aroma. Medium yellow with small head. Primarily a metallic bitterness with light sour malt flavor. Drinkable but just barely.

Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN. Good grief! I could not tell the difference between this Bud Ice. It has to be the same beer with a different package label.

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,
