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).

Piss yellow pour demonstrating an absence of a head. The aroma is puke-like corn syrup with some rice and metallic butt notes. The flavor is much the same- corn oriented adjunct dominates with rice sugars and metal notes taking a back seat. Palate is a bit thicker than water- but barely. A deplorable example of any malt beverage, and should be avoided like the plague unless you intend to consume a beverage only to become inebriated.

Oh god help us. It looks a little like a beer I guess. Good for the college kids I suppose. My son brought a few home from a frat party. Had two sips and down the drain it went.

I am not sure whether this is a malt liquor or a pale lager. Sure it says that it is a pale lager, but the alcohol content tells a different story. In short, I have gotten sick off of this beer. There is no reason to drink this unless the other beers you have are all light beer or equally crappy beers with less alcohol.

From the tap, served in a standard bar pint glass. Poured a clear pale straw golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing. Had a largely a clean nose, faints aromas of cooked corn, rice malts and alcohol of a solvent nature. Good carbonation and crisp, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Bland and sterile alcohol tasting, cooked corn and husks, rice and solvent alcohol flavor coming through at the end and a corny alcohol lingering in the aftertaste, the drinkability is not that great, a step above water. Had this today at lunch, the tap choices were pretty poor to begin with, but I thought I would go ahead and try this, bad decision.
