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).

Natty Ice...I’ve never seen so many people cringe while drinking beer. Always a favorite at keg parties because of its high alc. content and cheap price, this beer is harsh. Its paint-like aftertaste doesn’t help either. Just brutal. I’d rather drink dry Rob Roys (yikes!)...

Pours clear blonde with a big foamy white head. Nose is pungent and unpleasant in manners that are beyond my ability to command the English language; suffices to say words like "rotten corn" and "rubber" are a good start. Taste is a slight improvement, mostly because it’s weaker. It’s not so much offensive as it is like drinking water used to wash off old corn. Finish...well, there is none. Ping pong balls would be offended to bathe in this excuse for a beer, no matter how filthy or cheap the fraternity might be.

Pretty much a basically bad pale lager, but not as offensive as some. Typical drab appearance and light gold color. The aroma aspect is sewer pee that ranks with the worst. Flavor is strong corn and alcohol but not the typical gutwrench going down.

Party time! Beer pong and flip cup fueled by the one and only "Natty Ice!" Terrible stuff, but why waste good beer when you’re pounding?!

Natural Ice is good stuff. Much better than many of the other A-B products. Has as much alcohol as many malt liquors, but a much more pleasant taste and presentation. This is a crisp, consistently good brew. So, what if it’s less expensive? It’s very drinkable, especially from the brown bottles. It’s always on my list. Goes well with dinner. RJT

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2004 i dont think beer can get any worse. maybe if you add more water? actually natural light already exists. gets a higher score for being so cheap

This stuff is pure poison out of the can. After pouring it into a glass, it wasn’t as bad. Synthetic tasting.
