COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Natural Ice is brewed with a blend of premium American-grown and imported hops and a combination of malt and corn that lends Natural Ice its delicate sweetness. It then undergoes Anheuser-Busch’s exclusive ice-brewing process, which takes the beer to a temperature below freezing and leads to the formation of ice crystals which create its signature rich and smooth taste.

Characterized by its robust body, delicate sweetness and smooth, rich taste.

The introduction of Natural Ice provided the company with two brands in the value priced ice beer category (Busch Ice was also introduced in 1995).

12 oz. can. Standard pale lager color. Aroma is generally nondescript, though a few sweet alcoholic notes show through. Taste is largely clean and watery with an odd sour apple finish. Blah...its better than the rap it gets, but still a bad subpremium macro.

This gives you the worst hangovers in the world. I was still vomiting at 1:30 in the afternoon and I quit at 12:00 the night before. HEADACHE! HEADACHE! HEADACHE!

Well, its sort of yeasty but that lasts only a couple of sips. fizzy alcohol water. There is nothing natural about this and it is not an ice beer. Pa-leez. It will get high school girls drunk however and that seems to be its only appeal.

Found this in a fraternity refrigerator, poured into a university emblemed 24 oz. plastic mug. Initial flavor was an odd mix of a pilsner and lager. No lacing or lasting head. Couldn’t finish it, handed it to the guy in my profile pic. Really nasty stuff!

24 oz can - another one I can generously share with my kitchen sink. Clear light gold pour with a decent white head that clings to the glass pretty good. I smell slightly rotten corn, and I taste slightly flavored water. Weak palate, even by malt liquor standards.

Sampled directly from can before pouring the rest into a pot of chili. Typical weak but offensive aromas and tastes of mass-produced malt liquors. How is it possible that a lager with only 5.9% alcohol can taste this harsh?

Boliv (964) - New York, USA - OCT 3, 2011
Can. Light gold with a small white head, aromas of straw and ethanol. Similar flavor, with sweet malt, bitter adjunct, and booze. Bad. [840]
