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).

I’m not sure what constitutes an Ice beer. It could be that they are best when they’re cold as ice so that your taste buds won’t be replused. But, this ain’t that bad. It’s just, as the commercial description says, a ’subpremium-priced ice beer’. That’s funny, ’cos I thought everything was premium or maximum strength this days, biggie sized or capitalised. I mean, this is America!!!

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.

Quality stuff. Better then a 40oz, and tastier. Drink a case with a pal and enjoy the ride. Ah, memories.

UPDATED: SEP 12, 2004 I'm not gonna lie, I do not have very distinguished taste in beer: I'll drink anything. So while Natural Ice is pretty bad, it's not bad enough that I won't drink it.

Probably the most economical beer purchase per alcohol consumption. First consumed in Myrtle Beach on a vacation and student budget. Not sure about the specifics as it was enjoyed from a can. A little watered down for an ice. Best enjoyed through the method of shotgunning. Might have the best short name (naddy Ice)

8/25/07 From 24 oz can. Aroma is corny, some slight DMS, very simple. Appearance is medium yellow with no head. Flavor is very light, corny, sour. Mouthfeel is very light bodied with a high carb feel. Overall, fugly.

Most bang for your buck for a cheap beer... usually bring it out at parties. Otherwise, won’t drink it.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2011 Had this once or twice before a number or years ago. but had this again just this past wknd. I remember enjoying it and this time I enjoyed it again. I actually found this stuff quite drinkable. If you drink it warm then its a bit tricky but drink it cold and this stuff works
