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).

24 oz. can (born Aug 11 ’08) served in tumbler- I wondered when the depths of my beer journey would reach it’s low, and now it’s right here before my eyes! Poured transparent thin golden yellow, bubbly white head went away as soon as I layed the can down, high-medium carbonation. Aroma of corn, ragweed, and churned river water- YUMMY! Hits the mouth with a thin body, soft water treated with rock salt was used making this but I honestly can’t taste the malt or corn, finish has the alcohol taste and sweetness you would expect from any fine malt liquor. I would dump it, but I just can’t- one to put into the ’’remember when I only had money for...’’ file and remember better beers. Then again, how do you know what’s good if you don’t know what’s bad?

This is clear, no taste, and not worth the bottle and can it is put in. It is clear and no head with very little taste.

a small step up from the beast which doesnt say much. Its the worst beer i’ll drink, but it escapes the undrinkable list just barely

12 oz can-pours a dissipating white head and yellow/pale yellow color. Aroma is at first sulfur, then some grain, sweet light malt/corn, some earthy hops. Taste is grain…, finish is metallic/some funk. No Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

24 oz can poured light straw but amazingly clear. No aroma. Aluminum foil taste but no carbonation in the beer itself. I did not pour it out but probably should have.

I will give this a 1 since it got me wasted so quickly so many times in high school, I have not looked back since. Best enjoyed through a funnel.

Can, many thanks to Oakes. Pours the eerie neon glow typical of chemo-beer. Fast disappearing white head. Nothing "natural" about the appearance. Potently sweet aroma, although I have smelled some worse things. Creamed corn. Chemicals. Soft but fizzy mouthfeel. Bud-like metallic aftertaste. Does not taste as sweet as it smells. This might be one of the reasons some people claim "I don’t like beer."

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 23, 2008
Golden-straw colour with a thick, artificially-stabilized head. The carbonation appears soft and abundant. Metallic, grainy nose has slight acetaldehyde and hop that is heavily influenced by something unholy. Yes, that is a technical "beer judge" term. Sweet flavour, kind of tart, very grainy with all kinds of acetaldehyde and some vague hop. Thin, sour, unionmade finish.
