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).

Can. Thanks to some alcoholic buddies I get to sample all the cheapies. Had this one a couple months back but never thought to rate it. I have been lazy with rating the filler beers but no longer. Drank straight from the can so I have no idea what it looks like. As for aroma its got light metal, light cereal. In the taste department it is surprisingly not horrible. It is light bodied and doesn’t have any standout terrible flavors, just kind of bland and lightly sweet. I usually bring my own beer, but got stuck this time.

Huge freakin’ can. I am not sure why but I prefer this one to some of the other malts that I have tried lately. I will agree that it is probably due to its closeness to pale ales. water and grass permeate. not good but like said this is one of the better malts.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2004 Not *that* bad. Pale yellow, no head, no aroma. Sweet, corn, chemicals. 75 characters, huh?

I’m actually kinda surprised by this beer. Really not that bad. Smells and looks like all the other crappy beers I’ve just rated. The taste has a little bit of complexity, though--a strange little twang to the malt. REally, for a subpremium priced beer, this is the route to go.

...haa haa haaa, the ICE. Made for Bums, and hardcore alcoholic painters. Just plain crap, but it will get you ripped if you drink a 12 pack. Horrible hangover, but bums will fight each other over one. Only drink this when there is nothing else there.

The only reason it gets a 2 is because nothing is worse than Miller high life light. Its like drinking pure sugar. Upon my first taste it instantly corroded several dark cavities into my teeth and began eating away at my esophogial tissue. When i woke up today i had enough stomach acid being produced that my saliva could dissolve those brass lions in front of the new york library. Did i mention i only had ONE?

This is a beer that normally seems to be at one of my friends place. It is pale yellow/straw color with little aroma outside of corn and grains. Flavor is typical grain with some bite to it.

At least it will get you drunk. You’ll wish you were from the first sip of this truly foul brew. It tastes like tap water with grain alcohol and a bit of flat Mountain Dew mixed in. Ug.
