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).

Light barley nose, pale gold color, and a fizzy head. Tastes like sweet sugar water with no bitter. Smooth for sure but thin and weak overall.

duece (103) - Waterford, Wisconsin, USA - APR 14, 2002
Better than some other Ice’s but not as good as a lager. Aroma is pleasent but not overbearing. Taste is simple and not overpowering. Overall not memorable either positivly or negativly.

A true college beer (or redneck beer). Its actually not that bad for the price and it packs a whallop. I started drinking the stuff in high school and then I thought it was the best beer I’d had to that point. Now, 7 years later, I say its definitely not anywhere near the best, but its far from the worst.

It's all fun and games until someone brings this to the party. The first 3 go down fine, then just as soon as you crack open the fourth, an instant migrane headache/hangover combo starts to set in. So you drink it anyway, and then the 5th tastes like liquified ass. The 6th make's you gag and re-think drinking beer ever again all together. It's deceptivly crappy.

Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - SEP 9, 2004
Can. Crystal clear light gold body with a thin bubble film. Smells like musty cardboard. Tastes like every other BMC piece of shit you have ever had, with the exception that it leaves a note of vomit on the finish. I could drink this if I was really drunk, but so what? I could drink raw sewage if I was really drunk. And I would probably take that over this swill.

Insta Headache. I would rather put away a 40 or a 64 of Ole E 800 than slam back some Natty Ices. But if you only have $1.09, you could be in buisness.

16oz can = pretty much the same thing as the natural light except it tastes like someone injected grain alcohol in the can. Much more potent than expected.
