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).

Skunkz, papery nose. Pale yellow with a little head. Sweet yucky taste, thin and watery.

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.

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.

Slightly shitty corn smell. Clear yellow, thin white head. Tart corn and malt flavor, but finishes soapy with noticeable alcohol. Blah.

Bart (2330) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 11, 2010
Golden blond coloured, lots of carbonation and a medium white head. Special, light fruity sweet hinted with a very short hoppy hint. Medium palate. Finish is light bitter sweet and short hoppy sweet ending. Medium one.

Good god this is awful, A-B ought to be ashamed to even sell this. Now, I’m about as accepting as any of one of the pale lager style, but this was a mess. Actually the aroma wasn’t too bad, it was somewhat lemony. It was also a lemonade yellow color and produced a three finger eggshell pitted white head. But the flavor was dominated by acetaldehyde and fusel alcohols. A lighter bodied malt liquor essentially, and very bad. I wish I could give a 0 for flavor.

Had it in a can. Bitter sticky aftertaste. Not good, I repeat not good. Dry and sparkling taste. No, I do not like this at all.
