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 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.

Can Pours a yellow pale body with a 1 finger white head. Sweet metallic, crisp grainy flavor with corn and a thin watery body. Im a fan for the price and a simple macro lager.

Yet another watered down swill. No flavor, except for a metallic tinge. Pretty bad.

Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates clean. Aroma of golden grain malt, corn, and no detected hops. Taste is light bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, corn and some alcohol presence. Finish is very watery, slightly metallic with some corn aftertaste.

Shotgunned a 16oz. can at Backus’s Backyard Bash. Thanks to SoLan’s Mom for providing the beer. Since the entire thing went right from the can to my belly, I didn’t get a good look at it. I suspect the color was a fine straw color with sufficient carbonation. It was ice-cold, and went down in about 2.7 seconds, so I didn’t get to taste it much, either. Overall, I’ll give it a thumbs-up for a shotgunning or chugging beer. It was a good break in between the Cantillon St. Lamvinus and the Isabella Proximus and held it’s own among those other sub-par beers.

Oh god help us. It looks a little like a beer I guess. Good for the college kids I suppose. My son brought a few home from a frat party. Had two sips and down the drain it went.
