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).

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2006 Sampling this again from the can. The aroma is sweatsocks and tomatoes. The taste has some slight potatoes with white bread. There is not much else going on here. Nothing offensive, it’s just bland.

Can. Trade at Plattsburgs with some wanksta for a canadian budweiser, lol. Anyway, wasn’t expecting much for it, but it was actually not as bad as it could have been. Drank it cold, and it got down well. That’s what matter with that kind of beer.

Very light, no off tastes, okay as a thirst-quencher, but lemonade is good for that too. Can do so much better.

What do you want, it is 5.9% alcohol, right? A cheap beer to get you drunk, nothing more. Watered down garbage, yet exactly what you pay for.

ok, ice brewed for a smooth or something like claims the bottle. i have definately had worse from the big 3, and at 5.9% this is one of the most efficient ones. i say this one is underrated. it is on teh 0 percentile while clearly belongs in at least the 1st percentile

Come on, this beer does what it does and thats gets you drunk for cheap. Stronger content than a lot of other macros. Is it "good" in the same way the crafts are? No, but sometimes you just want to kick back and relax without all the snobbery of beer tasting. Or maybe thats just me! :) PS. I love Snojerks reasoning!
