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. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malt with a note of corn. Watery body. Flavor is cereal grain. Better than Natty Light, but just barely.

In the tall boy can. Had this at The Dave’s 60th birthday party. It was ice-cold. It was the only beer at the party other than regular Natural Light. The commercial description is partially correct: This is a subpremium beer. Very sub-premium. While it does not seem to be very high in alcohol compared to the strange things that I’ve been tasting lately, it seems a bit too out of balance with the other 2 components of this beer (rice and water). I suspect that this beer goes best with cigarettes, but unfortunately, I do not smoke. The extra-tall 16 oz can would hold many more cigarette butts, I suppose.

A: The pour is a crystal clear yellow color with a big white head that is gone before it’s arrived. S: This beer smells like Nebraska. Corn, corn, and more corn. And then some offensive aromas of alcohol, urine, and grass. Actually, that’s not fair, sorry Nebraska. T: An intense alcohol, corn, and grain flavor to this beer. Just bad. It’s no wonder this beer was only used for drinking games that involved chugging and "served" ice cold. I can barely choke this down. M: Light, thin, watery, and fizzy just about sums up our mouthfeel. D: This stuff is probably the worst of the adjunct lagers. At least most of them are not so blatantly offensive.

My 10th malt liquor - hurray! A sweet, dirty, metallic mess. Fusel, corn, vomit, and acid. I think I’ll pass in the future.

Bottle courtesy of MaltDawg on 08/16/2008. Very clear golden yellow body with a medium frothy white head and lots of fizz. Corn and grain aroma, some honey hints. Big corn flavor, some sugar, and grain. Light body with moderately high carbonation.

Oh boy, this smells and looks horrible. Just awful. I remember this nothingness taste from college beer pong. Thin and weak, nothing positive going for this, except it doesn’t taste like alcohol or give headaches.
