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).

I wasn't repulsed by it at all. It tasted ok, and had a nice alcohol level. It really was a fair deal for the nice low price. I recommend it for the budget conscious working man looking to get an economical thirst quenching buzz.

served in the 22 oz can.."naturally". The aroma , that which I can make out consisits of corn syrup..and old ice cubes the ones that fall out of the ice box in the freezer and lie under the hamburger for a few months. appearance ..well it isnt the worst looking "macro"..but its sub par pale yellow pee colour none-the-less. I drank this cold, very cold..but after the quite acceptable first gulp..I can taste all sorts of weird metallic/chemical flavours..this would be horrific at room temp. Its bubbly on the palate. While not THE worst I have tasted it has to be in my bottom 20..avoid.

I remember when this stuff came out while I was in college. We were all impressed by the alcohol volume and the price. $3.99 for a six! Well I have since grown up (I guess) and this stuff is crap. What was i thinking buying this stuff? It smells like old medicine and has no real taste. I guess it will get you loaded.

February 3, 2004 bottling. Pale, sparkling yellow, with huge sparkling carbonation forming a large white head that quickly fades. I smiled as I sniffed the nose of this beverage. Although the gas station had been careful to keep this beer cellared at 40 degree Farenheit temperatures, I was worried that the exposure to the flourescents may have damaged the bouquet. But cereal aromas of corn and rice rose to greet me, unharmed by their handling over the past 30 days. These aromas merged seemlessly into an aroma that was somewhat reminiscent of Sanger Hall at MCV, in the room where they perform the medical autopsies. Sharp, attention grabbing carbonation brought my palate bouncing to life, preparing it to meet the rush of flavors. Rice, corn, and a slight sweetness flooded my mouth, before fading away rapidly, leaving only a trace of memory behind. Vile stuff.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2004 Not *that* bad. Pale yellow, no head, no aroma. Sweet, corn, chemicals. 75 characters, huh?

this is one of the worst ice beers i have ever had. here we call them the nasties but after about 2 or 3 the taste becomes more natural.

Cheap and strong, does what it's supposed to. The guy who made the comment about beer pong was right on: I think the flavor actually improves after a few ping pong balls have been fished out of your cup.........

let me tell you a little about what i like to call nattie ice. it may not be as popular or as good tasting as ur fancy smanchy beers. but by heck it gets the job done. it is an execellent beer pong beer and flows nicley into a 16oz red plastic cup and if that is not good enough for you i dont know what is. in the immortal words of dave chidyllo, "if nattie ice were a woman i might actually get some"
