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).

Worst beer in the world. Taste so bad that you will receive an instant headache just for trying this worthless cheap crappy brew. To drink this is a punishment. Drinking this beer is a mistake.

I only rate this higher than Natural Light because of the higher alcohol content. But taste wise it is worse. Some people claim to love it. But they are just cheap and liars.

Can. Sweet grassy malt aroma. Light golden yellow color with little head. Sweet malt flavor - little body. Nothing offensive - okay if you’re looking for a cheap buzz - a better choice than Bud Light.

This is vile. It was all I could do to drink enough of it to rate it. I started getting a headache a few sips in. It’s ONLY redeeming characteristic is price. Drainpour.

Rate this against a good IPA, amber or stout and it’s completely apples an oranges. Rate this in it’s the category of "Ice brewed" and it’s about average. mmmmmaybbe slightly smoother than MB ice, which is cheaper. BTW, it’s impossible to "ice brew". This is code name for "avoiding malt liquor classification".

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2009 Ah, revisited this beauty at a party while my buddy was in town from DC. The swill was injected into my system via the time-honored shotgun technique. Wow. This taste so much like soap.
[March 19.07]
Yeah, my damned buddy is in town again. Again he brings this swill. This time I poured into a glass. Soap. So much soap, I have a headache. dammit.
[update April 14, ’07]
So my asshole buddy left about six bottles of this crap in the fridge. I swore to my girlfriend I’d diligently make them disappear. So, knowing better than to drink it, I’ve been cooking with it. I’ve ruined a variety of dishes with this foul liquid. I had to throw away some spinach and potatoes that stewed a little too long in it. I tried to eat them, but I couldn’t quite clean my plate without feeling sick. I mean, this beer is just absolutely offensive. Completely horrid.
