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).

Say what you want about natural ice. Sure it may look and taste similar to piss. But the more you drink it the more you like it, and high school and college parties arent the same without it. If you poor, young, wanna get drunk without drinking 20 Busch lights then natty ice is your best option.

I know I shouldn’t, but I genuinely like this beer. Served nice and cold, it is very neutral, in a good way. No surprises, no strange tastes, just a very pleasant late night companion.

Completely crystal clear, with a tinge of yellow. Not to be elitist, but this looks EXACTLY like urine after keeping oneself fairly hydrated throughout the day. Smells of corn and artificial sweetener, not unlike pepsi max or diet coke. Slight phenolic smell that goes away just before it becomes pleasant. Phenolic taste with a little bit of grain followed by a stomach sickening feeling that hits the stomach unlike anything I have had in a long while (aka this exact beer). Whatever taste exists is gone before you even get a chance to swallow the first sip. Watery and thin. This is not the worst mouthfeel ever, except I just got a little particle lodged in my teeth which came directly from this can of beer. I know they aren’t the same style, but after having TREAT by Midnight Sun, I don’t know what the hell I am doing having this beer. I have class in the morning. This tastes like really weak cough syrup - which removes the whole point of having anything that tastes like cough syrup. I LIKE cough syrup, yet this one can’t pull it off which is frustrating to say the least.

Pours clear blonde with a big foamy white head. Nose is pungent and unpleasant in manners that are beyond my ability to command the English language; suffices to say words like "rotten corn" and "rubber" are a good start. Taste is a slight improvement, mostly because it’s weaker. It’s not so much offensive as it is like drinking water used to wash off old corn. Finish...well, there is none. Ping pong balls would be offended to bathe in this excuse for a beer, no matter how filthy or cheap the fraternity might be.

smell of corn, ass, and hangovers. tastes a little smoother than a watered down St Ides. can’t think of any reason to drink it.
