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).

after god knows how many times in my life consuming this stuff i finally decided to approach it again. looks a little like water would look, if i soaked a bowl of corn flakes in it overnight and scooped out the flakes. metallic corny and off-yeasty aroma - no hops or real malt to speak of simply smells like sugar fermented at minimum cost. doesn’t really show all 5.9% but that’s not really a compliment - with a beer like this i think i’d like to be reminded of what i’m drinking. not disgusting, just not good. at all.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2008 The one beer that beats out the worst beer which is Classic Ice. Natty however being the second worst brings along a terrible smell and the aftertaste brings cringing sensation to the face. Does not mix with Honey Nut Cheerios

If the beer gods allowed me to write one word about this beer, it'd be "undrinkable." However, there's a minimum 250 words that are required to describe this liquified cat litter. Appearance isn't horrible, but certianly not impressive. It poured with a decent looking head, or was that the poison gas escaping? Smell. Eww... is that the dumpster behind McDonalds? Taste... yes, it IS the dumpster behind McDonalds. I can't really rate mouthfeel, since I do not want this in my mouth. I had a hard time finishing this, and let me say, I WILL go into the dumpster behind McDonalds before I sample this again.

pretty much bad in every catogory. Horrid smell taste is bad and the aftertaste is worse. not watery like i expected but i wish it was, it’d be easier to drink. It’s making my chex mix taste like poop.

I’ll give it a .6 and not a .5 because of the alcohol content and because nothing will ever sit at .5, on an even tier as Chelada. Diactyl corn pudding is all I get from shit shit bomb.

Pours a very clear, brassy yellow with lots of white fizz. For color, think glass of water and 2 drops of yellow food coloring. Head is about 1/2 thick and fades fast. Smell is grains and water. Taste packs a punch: skunky harshness, banana, wheat and lots of chewy malt. Alcohol sucker punches the throat. I’m quite aware this a 0% beer, yet why do I keep buying it for cookouts? Then again, why do I watch college football, wear flip flops and jeans, and make out with random chicks at dance parties? College that’s why, and good bless my last 5 weeks of it.

Blindsided by the utter disgusting-ness. This is like sucking the mildew out of week-old gym socks. Carbonated week-old gym socks. Watery, bitter, cruel and unusual. One point for pouring with a head.
