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.

This beer was great because I didnt have to change the numbers to rate it! Had this at a friends party, lets just say I was glad for the roughly 1 percent more alcohol it boasted over other pale lagers. Oh yeah, it tastes bad.

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!

24oz can. Looks like piss. Smells like metal and fusels, perhaps some rotten malt or hops. Taste is amazingly awful. Normally I pour something this bad on my plants, but I don’t want to kill them, and this might do it.

Complete and utter rubbish. If you think Busche is bad wait until you try this gem.

Uhg, outa 24 oz can. Poured out like week old dish water with a faint aroma of bum piss. Sorry, once again the American mega brewers embarrass me again with this poor excuse that they branded as beer. The taste is of tin and aluminum with a slight flavor of salt. About the most fun or enjoyment I get outa this crap is letting my dog Sammy Girl drink the rest of the can and watch her get buzzed. Poor Sammy.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2008 Oh what a terrible "beer." tastes of water, urine, and alcohol. If you are buying economy style, buy a cheaper ice beer that still tastes like crap.

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.
