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).

Pretty damn bad! I guess the best thing you can say about this is that it’s cheap?

Can: I was bit afraid to try this one, fortunately I survived without major damage. Golden colour, medium head. Some hops, mild bitterness; overall far below average.

24 oz. can. U.S. Beer 23 of 31 for <a href=http://www.americanbeermonth.com> American Beer Month! Quite a roll here. Time to just pour something out of a tallboy and see what happens. "Born on" date of June 1, 05. Pour looks like my pee after drinking a gallon of water. Resolves to at least something that looks like a beer, with a regular head. Smell is reminiscent of bowling alleys and pool halls, with dirty ashtrays all around. Frankly, there is a bit of a pleasant taste, more along the lines of generic corn-based "beer" than any kind of flavor profile. At least it was an improvement over the plastic taste of last night’s Bud Light. And I do feel a little bit of the alcohol, after all. Still trying to figure what’s "Natural" about it, and how something can be "Ice brewed." Doesn’t the government check on label claims like this? Still, if this is all you want a beer for, it’s a good quick buzz for less than $2.

pretty much bad in every catogory. Horrid smell taste is bad and the aftertaste is worse. not watery like i expected but i wish it was, it’d be easier to drink. It’s making my chex mix taste like poop.

BeerAteHer (384) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - JUL 11, 2005
Pretty much a basically bad pale lager, but not as offensive as some. Typical drab appearance and light gold color. The aroma aspect is sewer pee that ranks with the worst. Flavor is strong corn and alcohol but not the typical gutwrench going down.

rudolf (2229) - Buffalo, New York, USA - JUL 11, 2005
Nose is corny with some light maltines, sour lemon overwhelms most anything else. Uber light yellow body - extremely clear. Sweetish malt, sour/sulfury. Bready finish.

Imagine Bud Light, but with twice the watered down flavor. This is fizzy H2O with alcohol, which is very noticeable in the finish. Avoid
