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).

This beer was good when I was 16 and it cost $5 a case. Now I only use it for shotgunning purposes when I want to get good and hammered.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2008 ~Pours a golden clear colour with lots of carbonation. White creamy head. ~ Smells like wet sour straw. Similar to Bud Light. ~Sweet flavor that turns slightly sour. Not a bad sour though. ~Kind of sticky. Makes me salivate. ~Really not as bad as everyone else has been saying. There isnt much to this beer. Minimal flavor and smooth. Easy to drink and high alcohol. Out of the cheap beers this is one of my favorites. Re rate.... this is pretty bad...

Can. Trade at Plattsburgs with some wanksta for a canadian budweiser, lol. Anyway, wasn’t expecting much for it, but it was actually not as bad as it could have been. Drank it cold, and it got down well. That’s what matter with that kind of beer.

all ones, then a 10 for this masterpiece..... solely for the reason that freshman dont know the difference and try to drink it as if it were Natural Light then the extra ABV hits and they are destroyed.... yucky nasty off flavors with adjuncts all over the place.

Wulfstan (509) - California, USA - JAN 10, 2008
UPDATED: APR 3, 2008 I just had to try this and it is rather horrid stuff, but not quite as bad as expected. It is gold with a medium white head that steadily dissipates to a really faint, thin ring. It has a rather unpleasant odor that is stronger and more off-putting than, say Keystone Light, but not quite is disgusting as San Mig Light (the all-time worst-smelling beer in my book so far). It smells of moldy grain and bubblebath. The taste is similarly moldy grain and a hint of bubblebath, but otherwise bland, rough, and boring. The taste is not, however, disgusting and it tastes better than it smells.

Quite possibly the worst beer I have ever had. Has a taste of paint thinner that makes me wonder if it is even safe to drink.

nysef816 (1) - burlington, Vermont, USA - JAN 7, 2008 does not count
if i would give this a zero if i could. poor flavor, aroma, appearance etc. however, if you are having a few friends over and can only muster $35, this is your beer.
