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).

Pretty damn bad! I guess the best thing you can say about this is that it’s cheap?

Like most ice beers, this sucks. It's got that funny taste to it I can't describe, but if you've had any ice beer you know what I mean. Some people like that taste, normal people like me don't. This is cheap, though. 12 pack of bottle for $4.99 in Milwaukee as of 01/05/2004.

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.

24 oz. can. U.S. Beer 23 of 31 for <a href=http://www.americanbeermonth.com> American Beer Month! Quite a roll here. Time to just pour something out of a tallboy and see what happens. "Born on" date of June 1, 05. Pour looks like my pee after drinking a gallon of water. Resolves to at least something that looks like a beer, with a regular head. Smell is reminiscent of bowling alleys and pool halls, with dirty ashtrays all around. Frankly, there is a bit of a pleasant taste, more along the lines of generic corn-based "beer" than any kind of flavor profile. At least it was an improvement over the plastic taste of last night’s Bud Light. And I do feel a little bit of the alcohol, after all. Still trying to figure what’s "Natural" about it, and how something can be "Ice brewed." Doesn’t the government check on label claims like this? Still, if this is all you want a beer for, it’s a good quick buzz for less than $2.

I knew I couldn't avoid this forever, being in college as I am. Bubbly head quickly dissipates. Color is slightly browner than piss. It's amazing how litte taste this beer has and what's there is bad, though nowhere near as bad as Genny Ice. Stick to Keystone Ice when you want ice beer. I got this because the store was out of Keystone Ice, which actually tastes decent.
