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).

(Can 35,5 cl) Clear, pale pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Aroma of brewing cereals. Rather light-bodied with a vague, malty feel, some corn in there. Absolutely no bitterness. 010406

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 25, 2008
Canned, thanks Bolagshataren for this gem! Pale yellow, minimal head. Fruity vegetable aroma. Sweet amd syrupy, sticky and unfirm. Alcohol is evident already at 4.2%, but bitterness can’t be found. Compares infavourably to most third world lagers.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 23, 2008
Golden-straw colour with a thick, artificially-stabilized head. The carbonation appears soft and abundant. Metallic, grainy nose has slight acetaldehyde and hop that is heavily influenced by something unholy. Yes, that is a technical "beer judge" term. Sweet flavour, kind of tart, very grainy with all kinds of acetaldehyde and some vague hop. Thin, sour, unionmade finish.

(24oz can, courtesy of mar) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, salt water taffy, and mustiness. Flavor of corn, cereal, and minerals with a watery finish.
