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).

Their attempt at making natural light worst. Still highly carbonated and yellow.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - DEC 16, 2007
Appearance: Pours a clear, light yellow body crowned with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smell: Cold creamed corn, flower petals, and a waft of alcohol. Taste: A corn-driven taste with an icky sweetness and plenty of fusel alcohol that could be called anything but "natural". A mild bitterness does little to mask the sweet, fusel finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Spitefully watery. Drinkability: An unrewarding, cheapo beer. Its cost matches its quality.

pepsiedcan (1041) - The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA - DEC 9, 2007
Pours light yellow with a thick head. Great lacing on this one (not joking). Smells like rubbing alcohol. Tastes similar, but has some cereal and metal flavors as well. Finishes bitey but little aftertaste. Not nearly as bad as other "college" beers I’ve tried.

stangger (460) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 9, 2007
Of all the super-cheap college macros, I’ve always found this to be the most drinkable. Don’t get me wrong - it tastes like metal, but it has a high enough alcohol content to be noticeable. For a good beer, this would be a bad thing. But when the alcohol tastes better than the beer, it becomes a good thing.

slimchill (936) - Austin, Texas, USA - DEC 9, 2007
Can. Well beyond unenjoyable. Simply foul. Biting palate and offensive flavor. I award you no points.

A very sub-par beer. The best thing i can say about it is that it is extremely cheap.
