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).

Way worse than Natty Light. Pale yellow color, white head. Aroma is all adjunk. Flavor is adjunk, metal, and nasty bitterness from low-grade hops and other ingredients. Watery palate. At least it’s fairly high in alcohol.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 2, 2009
Do I need to drink any to rate this? Very pale yellow with a thick foam of head, pretty rank. Water, adjunct and metal. Taste is similar bland and watery. Serviceable alcohol delivery system that doesn’t even have enough flavor to be vile.

iamheredude (2) - Oxford, Ohio, USA - JAN 27, 2009 does not count
Only redeeming quality is that once you’ve had 4 or 5 of these in a night you can’t tell how terrible it actually is.

Pours golden in color with a white head. Aroma and flavor aren’t as bad as I feared, grains & corn with some booze and a metallic aftertaste.

altonbrownd (3419) - Brussels, BELGIUM - JAN 8, 2009
Jan 1, 2009 Another popular canned beer back in the college days. As bad as Natural Light but a bit higher alcohol content. Nothing much to say for it now though. Watery and metallic-tasting.
