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).

Used for beer pong. Aroma is very sweet and chemically. Taste is the same with some disgusting artificial notes. Hard to drink at first, but it gets better. Not as bad as a .5. But not good. I guess you could say it gets the job done.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2003 This brew poured a better head than some of the low quality brews. It also poured a medium head of fine white bubbles. It still has that low quality yellow color. It's taste is a little more palatable that Bud, but it smells the same.

Poured gold with a fair head doesn’t look evil. Chemical and paint aroma doesn’t bode well. I thought all these low ratings were cruel but this does not taste good. Corn and alcohol flavour. Another one? I don’t want the rest of this one.

As bad as they come. Why do college parties consist of this and every other shitty beer? At least it wasn't Keystone light... Pours the same sickening shade of off yellow the rest do. It also tastes just as bad. Add the "ice" thing and lower the rating even more. I don't mind regular Natty but this sucks!

Glad I didn’t go with the valu-pak 24 oz and just plunked down .85 for 16 ozer. Clear as a mountain stream and tastes about the same.

thirdeye11 (3909) - Dallas, Texas, USA - JUN 27, 2010
(24oz can thanks to mar) clear semi-pale yellow with good bubbles. Nose of shoe leather, apple, not much else. Taste of paper, butter, grain mash. Watery body with soft carbonation in the finish.

rickgordon (3758) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAR 26, 2008
Canned. Thanks to Bolagshataren. Pale yellow colour, with white mediumsized head. Light maize aroma with cooked vegetables. Weak and watery in mouthfeel. Pretty sweet and sticky already at this low abv-level. No bitterness.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - DEC 16, 2007
Appearance: Pours a clear, light yellow body crowned with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smell: Cold creamed corn, flower petals, and a waft of alcohol. Taste: A corn-driven taste with an icky sweetness and plenty of fusel alcohol that could be called anything but "natural". A mild bitterness does little to mask the sweet, fusel finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Spitefully watery. Drinkability: An unrewarding, cheapo beer. Its cost matches its quality.
