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).

Another ice beer from the ice craze. This is just like the rest. Just as bad as the rest.

Watery beer. More potent than some macro brews. Extremely smooth but not pleasing to the mouth.

It’s cheap and will get you shitfaced. Otherwise absolutely nothing redeeming about this foul, foul, foul brew.

24 ounce can. I hated Natty Light IN COLLEGE! We’ll see if this is any better at all. Pale straw yellow A mere whisper of a head. Boozy and slightly fruity corn aroma with some sawdust. Taste is an acrid graininess with faint corn notes. Really tart and offputting. The corn turns to creamed corn as it warms. I won’t say the taste is smooth. No way. Watery. Worse than Natty Light... this actually has flavor.

Why ...oh why do I do this to myself? I just couldnt resist drinking one of the slug killing beers. " a smooth taste?" Is that all they have to say about this liquid. Light plus bodied. Pale yellow with a thin white head. No nose. No hops. A swirlly fusely body that reminds me of colt 45 and gives me a headache. This beer was horrid cold and even worse as it warmed. Proof that you can sell sand to an Arab, if they are dumb enough. Kills slugs good!

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - AUG 17, 2009
can 710 ml
Appearance: crystal golden look with neatly poured large snowy head. Some lace shown. 3+
Nose: mild aroma of pale malt , dry alcohol with hint of hop. Not bad for canned macro lager.
Flavor/Palate : Medium light bodied. Sweet grainy base. Lightly watery yet its alcohol was fairly well covered for listed 6%. Very slight mineral hop character. Slight alcohol burn shown with time. It is what it aimed to be.

I don’t know how my neighbors can do this. I’m pretty open minded with what people like to drink, but damn...they gotta have some fucked up sense of taste or smell or something. Just...ugh. I mean, it’s not offensive to look at, and if you keep it at that level then it’s cool. Smell or taste this and the fun is over. A typical clear pale golden yellow pour, with a foamy white head. No lacing, just a quick melt. Green apples, metal, and corn in the aroma. Strange veggie-like sweetness on the palate (sweet onions?), more green apples, corn with a touch of bitterness. Strange that a brewer would devise a process to make a shitty beer even MORE shitty, but..whatever.
