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).

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2006 2006 Re-rate****Can... Smells and tastes pretty much like Busch Ice, but less offensive. Thin and fizzy. Corny and sweet. Bumping it up from a .9 though. ****Original Rating****Drank this straight from the bottle while tailgating before the 2003 WVU vs. PITT football game. I can only rate the flavor and palate. Not good! Who cares? Everyone knows this beer sucks. Plus, the Mountaineers won the game 52-31. A real defense-oriented backyard brawl!

Bottled, sample, pasteurised. Pale yellow with fizzed white head, highly carbonated. Quite a sickly aroma, sweet with malt but quite revolting, Presumably a tasteless method to get alcohol into college kids, pretty awful and luckily just a sample of someone else’s beer?

I can hardly get any aroma. It is more than air, but not much. Thin gold color with a nice white head that attempts lacing. It starts with something, could be very light malt, there’s something sweet in there. The mouthfeel is light to medium. The finish is kind of herbal, if it is hop, it has not got much bitter in it. Kind of a ghastly ending.

Tall boy can in Michigan for 99 cents. Light color, light aroma, little body and light flavor. Wet cold alcohol with little character. Proof that you get what you pay for.

12 oz can. It feels like 100 degrees here and this looked like it would taste cold. Straw coloured beer, white head. Smells like corn flakes Flavour matches the aroma. Fizzy palate, corn and a short but not unclean finish. It’s completely uninteresting, but I’ve had much worse.

I don't like this beer at all. I cannot give any rating above a 1, and I would give lower than that if I could.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - DEC 28, 2008
Can Pours a yellow pale body with a 1 finger white head. Sweet metallic, crisp grainy flavor with corn and a thin watery body. Im a fan for the price and a simple macro lager.
