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).

24 oz. can (born Aug 11 ’08) served in tumbler- I wondered when the depths of my beer journey would reach it’s low, and now it’s right here before my eyes! Poured transparent thin golden yellow, bubbly white head went away as soon as I layed the can down, high-medium carbonation. Aroma of corn, ragweed, and churned river water- YUMMY! Hits the mouth with a thin body, soft water treated with rock salt was used making this but I honestly can’t taste the malt or corn, finish has the alcohol taste and sweetness you would expect from any fine malt liquor. I would dump it, but I just can’t- one to put into the ’’remember when I only had money for...’’ file and remember better beers. Then again, how do you know what’s good if you don’t know what’s bad?

This is one of your typical macro brewed beer with all the bad adjuncts you can get... Not good at all but I figure since I’m broke and craving a beer, I might at least get the bad macro beers out of the way while I cannot afford a decent beer! Cheers!

Can. Light gold with a small white head, aromas of straw and ethanol. Similar flavor, with sweet malt, bitter adjunct, and booze. Bad. [840]

I have drunk enough cheap beer in my life to float several battleships, and I actually like Old Milwaukee. But this stuff makes me sick, I mean literally. I can’t explain it, but on more than one occasion of drinking this stuff, I got flu-like symptoms the next day and ended up getting sick. I don’t know why, and don’t expect anyone else to have experienced this. But it is for this reason that I give it the lowest possible score (plus it tastes WAY too watery).

Natural Ice is a very sparkling straw colored lager with a creepy white film. I almost threw change at the glass out of instinct because it smells like a homeless guy. It’s sweet and corny in the nose with a lot of fusel oil. It is light bodied and watery. It’s rather sweet and, like the aroma, all corn and fusel oil. That poison alcohol flavor continues to linger. This is the worst beer I have reviewed. I’m giving it a 2 instead of a 1 for "overall" because it was cheap and boozy. Heroin must be healthier than this.

Russo (942) - Campinas, BRAZIL - JUL 18, 2008
Drank at Kum and Go in Omaha, NE. Pale yellow with a no persistent white head, aroma is malty, flavor is malty and notes of corn in there and refreshing. Mouthfeel is a quite bitter.
