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).

Yes I did. When I was 18-19 this was the killer- a case for $9.99- Can it get any better?!! Horrible beer, at a recent family gather I actually took a can of this out of the hand of a relative and threw it into the fire. Straw yellow, lots of carbonation- watery all the way through.

Pale yellow with no head. Drink this only if you want a buzz.... and a headache!

The only reason I am rating this overall as a 5 is the price. One word...COLLEGE!

40oz bomber from local grocery with at least 30 of those oz routed directly to local sewage treatment plant. Corn aroma with some sweet malt notes. Clear golden with small white head. Flavor is flat sweet corn and malts with some hot alcohol. Slimy sweet finish

24 oz. can. Pours a piss yellow with no head. Aroma is straw and a bit of yeasty dough/sweat. Flavor is sweet all the way and finishes a bit alcoholic. Had this the same night as the bud cheladas, possibly skewing my perspective...

This is one of the best beers I’ve ever had in my life. Tastes great, feel great in my mouth. Oh wait, the opposite of all those things

Natural Ice is a very sparkling straw colored lager with a creepy white film. I almost threw change at the glass out of instinct because it smells like a homeless guy. It’s sweet and corny in the nose with a lot of fusel oil. It is light bodied and watery. It’s rather sweet and, like the aroma, all corn and fusel oil. That poison alcohol flavor continues to linger. This is the worst beer I have reviewed. I’m giving it a 2 instead of a 1 for "overall" because it was cheap and boozy. Heroin must be healthier than this.

12oz can. Poured a yellow color with a white head that disappeared quickly. Smells of malts and alcohol. I’ve smelled worse, but those beers had a lot more ABV. NOt quite as good as Keystone Ice, but pretty similar. Take big gulps to get this one down quickly and get druunk. Not as bad as a lot of the other ratings I feel. Real cheap and not horrible.
