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).

Party time! Beer pong and flip cup fueled by the one and only "Natty Ice!" Terrible stuff, but why waste good beer when you’re pounding?!

I’m currently unemployed, so I might as well experience Skid Row...$1.59 for a 40oz at the local gas station. Pours clear with a fizzy white head, much to my expectations. Aroma is of soggy sand in the hot July sun, malt from the asshole of Satan himself, grain, and Windex. Aroma is like a warning siren telling you that it’s time to hit the shelter. Of course I drank it anyway. Taste is like licking floorboards in a dive bar while sitting on a wet hay bail, all the while listening to Tom Waits crooning. Notes of dog breathe, stale malt, viking blood, and compost. Mouthfeel is like drinking gasoline whilst eating mayonaise from under a radiator. The worst thing to come to Frogtown since Hell. Goes down like a Rush Street crackwhore without the smoothness or pizzaz. My $1.59 could have bought me three Homies from the quarter machines, with nine cents to spare for future investments. But alas, I chose to finish the horrid turd instead of using it for watering house plants. I should appologize to the poor plants for saying that. This is the beer that killed Sam Peckinpah.

You gotta have testicular fortitude to drink this on a regular basis. This is not a plesant experience. Mostly geared towards rednecks and college kids, this is a cheap but harsh drunk. Avoid. A better alternative at the same price point is Genesee Cream Ale.

Have been forced to drink this out of kegs far too many times in my life. This is one of the many reasons I’m happy that I got into craft brew drinking at a young age, so I could escape from this hell.

I think I just threw up in my mouth...oh wait, I just forgot to swallow this crap. If beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy, then this shit is proof that man is self-hating and only wants unhappiness. Why brew this at all?

Bought a can for 49 cents off a clearance table that was all banged up and fizzing out one side. What was inside made the outward appearance look grand.

Natural Ice is the most consistent low cost, full strength beer available. It has better flavor than run of the mill domestic beers. Don’t compare it to Sierra Nevada Ale or Newcastle Brown. Best served with a dram of quality Single Malt. Denise & Jan like it! More bang for the buck.

Drink it fast, because if it warms at all, it turns to piss. One of the worst cheap beers.
