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).

Anheuser-Busch apparently REALLY likes to carbonate the hell out of their beer. The heads on beers like Budweiser and Natty Ice remind me of the head on a lemon-lime soft drink. They fizz up like crazy and tickle your nose but turn around and they’re gone. This was a considerable improvement over Bud Light... only in that it didn’t make me sick to my stomach. It was also a good bit darker than Bud Light. I assume this is due to the presence of stuff other than alcohol and carbonated water. But you wouldn’t know from the flavor.

Offensive taste, not really anything good at all about this beer except that it’s cheap and will get you wasted. Life is too short to drink crap like this though.

i can say only one good thing about this beer, it is cheap, but buying it still is a waste of money.

ok, ice brewed for a smooth or something like claims the bottle. i have definately had worse from the big 3, and at 5.9% this is one of the most efficient ones. i say this one is underrated. it is on teh 0 percentile while clearly belongs in at least the 1st percentile

Definitely not the worst beer I’ve ever had. 5.9%. It’s obvious that this is made to get drunk. Pale color, thin head. Taste is incredibly simple. Water and vodka, with a little dirt mixed in. Inoffensive and uninspiring.

A big thanks to Crash for getting me a huge freaking 40 of this. Honestly, it wasn’t noxious as everyone kept warning me it would be. Very pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet, grainy nose with sweet, corny flavor. Very watery with a faint sweet aftertaste. Delicious? No. But not disgusting.

A piece of crap ice beer. Not good period. Natural Light is 10 times better and Natural Light still sucks. If you want the alcohol have a shot of liquor. Their are better ice beer available and not much more expensive.

Worst beer I have ever tasted. Instant headache. Gross. I wouldn’t try it if you haven’t yet. Be afraid.
