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).

At least it gets you drunk. Some people need a reason to drink. Buying this is enough for me.

This is nothing but an alcohol delivery system, pure & simple. It’s difficult to drink even when icy cold. I have to learn to politely say "No, thank you," when someone offeres me crap like this in their home.

can 710 ml
Appearance: crystal golden look with neatly poured large snowy head. Some lace shown. 3+
Nose: mild aroma of pale malt , dry alcohol with hint of hop. Not bad for canned macro lager.
Flavor/Palate : Medium light bodied. Sweet grainy base. Lightly watery yet its alcohol was fairly well covered for listed 6%. Very slight mineral hop character. Slight alcohol burn shown with time. It is what it aimed to be.

Ernest (5113) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAY 30, 2003
Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear light yellow. Aroma is trace malt (cereal), hint of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, unclean. Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation, metallic. One of the most odorless "beers" you'll find. Unfortunately, the flavor is laced with floor sweepings and flecks from the Terminator's skull. It's nearly peerless...as one of the worst beers in the world.

Light yellow straw color with a foamy white head. Just saw Barry’s review and I think to my self, boah, how can I add anything else that he he has not already articulated? Well, I can’t so here’s the normal, or shall I say "natural" song and dance. The bubblegum in my mouth mixes with the scent of my rubber gloves as the commode has backed up and the paper and remnants of corn from last nights supper must be cleaned. I work with haste and diligence to clear the mess, but it is hard to swallow. Mild sulfur enters the frey as I light a match and candle to help with the effervescent encopresis essence. The thin water, yet somewhat syrupy soup subside in the bowl. A sweet vegetable stew. I must now question the quaestuary qualities of a brewery which puts this in a near quart sized container.

Can. Sweet grassy malt aroma. Light golden yellow color with little head. Sweet malt flavor - little body. Nothing offensive - okay if you’re looking for a cheap buzz - a better choice than Bud Light.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - AUG 21, 2009
24 ounce can. I hated Natty Light IN COLLEGE! We’ll see if this is any better at all. Pale straw yellow A mere whisper of a head. Boozy and slightly fruity corn aroma with some sawdust. Taste is an acrid graininess with faint corn notes. Really tart and offputting. The corn turns to creamed corn as it warms. I won’t say the taste is smooth. No way. Watery. Worse than Natty Light... this actually has flavor.
