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).

Wow... its not like this beer is great or anything, but I’m surprised its only a 1.05. Light gold... thin fizzy white head. Sweet dusty grain. Faint soapy hops. Light aroma overall. Light sweet grain flavor. Light in flavor, low in offense.

I decided to defy all expectations and make this my 100th beer, sandwiched between 2 alesmiths. This pours very pale, aroma is green apples/grain. Unbearably thin, but I would take this over many light beers that are rated slightly higher. Also, it’s only 94 cents for a 24 oz. My Alesmith Grand Cru and Speedway were both 9+ dollars for only a bit more, what’s with that?

From the tap, served in a standard bar pint glass. Poured a clear pale straw golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing. Had a largely a clean nose, faints aromas of cooked corn, rice malts and alcohol of a solvent nature. Good carbonation and crisp, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Bland and sterile alcohol tasting, cooked corn and husks, rice and solvent alcohol flavor coming through at the end and a corny alcohol lingering in the aftertaste, the drinkability is not that great, a step above water. Had this today at lunch, the tap choices were pretty poor to begin with, but I thought I would go ahead and try this, bad decision.

Has a solid amount of alcohol, but then again so does gasoline. You’d almost be better off with the gas (at least you wouldn’t have to deal with seconds). This beer sucks. Don’t buy it. It sucks, and I can’t stress that enough.

12 oz can. It feels like 100 degrees here and this looked like it would taste cold. Straw coloured beer, white head. Smells like corn flakes Flavour matches the aroma. Fizzy palate, corn and a short but not unclean finish. It’s completely uninteresting, but I’ve had much worse.

Sucks. The only use for this beer is to keep stocked in your fridge for when people come over and you can null the drinking of your good beer.
