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).

(24oz can, courtesy of mar) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of corn, salt water taffy, and mustiness. Flavor of corn, cereal, and minerals with a watery finish.

Really not that bad. Had a couple on tap last night. At 5.9% ABV and it’s price it’s not that terrible, espeacially compared to BMC products.

My old neighbor was a super nice guy, but drank this religiously. I’d go over to his house, or he’d come to mine, and he’d always offer one of these to me. Jim was such a super nice guy, I never wanted to offend him by saying no. And even worse, not offend him by not drinking the whole. entire. can. It was torture. Sometimes, I was lucky. Jim would be called off my porch before my can was finished, allowing me to water the bushes with it. ...Poor bushes

It looks nice, but you aren't going to want to smell or taste it. We used to take these down a lot my freshman year of college.. they're not that bad when you get to the 7th or 8th.

Cheap and strong, does what it's supposed to. The guy who made the comment about beer pong was right on: I think the flavor actually improves after a few ping pong balls have been fished out of your cup.........

good just to get drunk with college students in a mass party because of its higher alc. content. Other than that, nothing good to say.

Aroma is not there!!!!!!!� Apears like colored water with no head. Flavor is almost non existent, except on the back of the toung which seems to pick up on the corn/rice adjunct. Only palate taste is the above stated corn cob. Overall, if this were the only beer on earth, I probably wouldn’t drink... much at all except in case of emergencies! You know, if a walarus chewed my leg off, to kill the pain!

All my early college memories in a can. yippee!!! Oh, how many times I bought a 12 pack of this crap for 4.99 at longs when I was 18 (ha), I can hardly even count. I’m glad I found the road to enjoying the finer side of my favorite beverage...

and in remembrance of my early beer drinking days...
