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).

OK I’ll be honest, this malt liquor is horrible. Don’t drink to many of these or you might upchuck. Very skunky, watery, and has a bad aftertaste that lingers a bit. Alll the things you don’t want in a beer. That is if you think this is a beer.

This is worse that Natural light and that is saying something. It also gives you the worst hangover you will ever experience.

Presentation: poured from a 16 oz can into a pint glass. The body has a light golden straw color with very good clarity. Its head is bright white and foamy. It builds up fast and thick before fading out quickly, leaving some bubbles around the edges of the glass. The aroma is very simple and typical of the style. There is a sweet grainy malt scent with lots of corn and rice adjunct notes and some far off grassy hops. Its flavor is similar to its aroma with a light sweet malt flavor that is full of grainy corn and rice. The hops add a light grassy flavor and some bitterness to the finish which ends quickly with a slightly corny aftertaste. It has a light body with a smooth watery texture and moderate carbonation. Overall it is light and easy to drink with a light price tag. It’s not bad for a cheap buzz although it’s not a beer I would normally seek out.

pours piss yellow, literally like you took a piss and it happened to land in a pint glass. taste like corn syrup. This doesn’t resemble beer to me, i’m surprised it’s labeled under the name beer.

UPDATED: JUN 2, 2008 A sweetish adjunct and stinky malt aroma. Clear yellow beer with a big white head. The can looks really shoddy - I don’t know how an outfit like AB with all the marketing resources in the world could have come out with such an amateurish-looking can. Now for the amateurish beer... Low bitterness,low flavor. Medium to medium light body, slightly oily texture. Aftertaste is a little tangy, with some unpleasant mouldering bitterness. Low quality, but it is a notch above malt liquor. The things I’ll do to get a last-minute rating in before the end of the month.
