Natural Ice

Natural Ice

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).

0.6 Just when you thought you tried the worst beer in there world...there's natural ice. I may have tried this way back in the day when it first came out, but was given one for shits and giggles. Knew it was getting into, so planned half of it for a cake recipe and the other half for sampling. Took about 2-3 sips and the rest went down the sink!
1.4 Imagine this: your grandfather banged your grandmother in the ass. He then came in her ass and later, grandma went to the toilet to shit out his seman and diarrhea. This beer tastes like grandmas bottled up toilet water.
0.5 Got a 30 pack of these for free from my mother in law so I should have known something was wrong then. Strong but hard to swallow. Got a buzz but wasn’t worth the first time throwing up off of beer in my adult life.
1.4 Aus der Dose in miami, malzig getreidog schlecht, mehr gibt es dazu nicht zu sagen
1.3 16 oz Dose.schönes Absturzbier! Metallischer Getreideduft. Wässeriger Geschack.
2.4 Pretty alright for 5.9%. Tastes like waste water from an old pump. Could easily drink 23 more though.
2.5 Poured it in my throat. Taste like three day old water. It's cold. About as refreshing as a beer can get when you pay $10 for 15 beer. Mistook it for Keystone Ice. Shotgunned three and had a buzz in the shower listening to Fleetwood Mac. Would buy again.
1.2 Terrible but strong. Not the worst beer in the world. Could smack a few of these tins on a Friday night
5.0 Best beer ever. Fifty cents a can, gets you drunk quick, and tastes great. Try this one for sure. Don't believe the bad reviews. I was drinking Budweiser before this and switched because of the price and more alcohol. I thought it would be nasty, but its now my favorite!
3.1 I love my natty. I don't need a lot these days but it's one of my top faves. Never been 2 expensive but got me through a few cold nights.
1.9 Typical “beer” aroma, light yellow color with fuzzy white head. Easy drinking, a little sweetness at the end to balance the crisp hop bitterness. Mild, better than many other low cost brands.
1.5 What do you expect from a high abv microbrew? If you are buying this you are trying to get drunk fast and cheap, by the way is a good choice. Its not like drinking a Steel Reserve can of 211 but a cheep buzz. A 15 pack is 7$ in Wisconsin and those 15 pack more punch than a 20$ 24 pack of bud light. If you are on a budget and want a good buzz it o.k. other than that i won't even compare it to a beer that can be judged by notes or hoppyness
4.5 this is my go to beer, its smooth and very drinkable, and has a good abv. The best ice beer by far.
2.0 Not a bad beer. Just very plain with little to no smell/aroma. Even more tastless than Coors -- on the verge of watery. Good and cheap though with a nice ABV to counter the drawbacks.
1.6 Somewhere between beer and water. I just don’t see the point of drinking this. The aroma is not offensive but there’s just nothing there, and the palate if flavored carbonated water.
3.4 25 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 10/29/2017. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity aromas, but not overwhelming. Okay aromas with pale malt/corn and light earthy hop notes; with poor strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery finish. Mildly increasing warmth of alcohol after the finish. Overall this is a very solid pale adjunct lager style. All around good robustness of pale malt/corn and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and pretty refreshing to drink. Very clean barley/corn flavors and decent earthy hop balance. Not too heavy on adjunct character. An enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Very acceptable for the style expectations.
2.6 Here is a 40oz bottle I found at Save-a-Lot! Appearance: Brown bottle, no sign of paper bag, when held up to the light one can see that the beer displays fantastic clarity and is both carbonated & indeed liquid. Aroma: This smells like the gas station after it rains, and some mild malt. Flavor: Certainly not un-enjoyable by any stretch, I mean it's got a light bitterness, some bits of malty & corn like sweetness. A little fusel, but sheesh... it's pretty decent swill. Palate: The glass 40oz bottle provides that perfect glug! Overall Opinions: mydude, if you're ever at Save-a-Lot & you have the means, pick one up!
1.0 Not as bad as bud light but still terrible
1.0 The beer has got a clear golden colour with a small head and thin Body. Aroma of hops. Taste of hops, citrus, grass. Metallic finish.
2.3 Appearance: pale, bubbly, clear, rocky head, white foam, disappears fast. Aroma: bread, straws, earthy. Taste: medium bitterness, lightly sour. Palate: light body, watery, thin feel, average carbonation, astringent, abrupt finish,
5.0 Smooth and easy drinking ice beer. Hats off to Natural Ice. Get a 30 pack and have fun. Cheers.
2.0 Tastes better than natty light but worse than everything else....
2.3 12/31/17 With Abby while downloading “flatliners” movie. Clear yellow with minimal head. Nose is slightly metallic AAL grain. Taste is really sweet grain with a little bit of metallic funk. Pretty highly carbonated and goes down like water. Overall, It’s not bad for what it is. There are certainly worse cheapo beers and this is sweet and very drinkable.
5.0 Natural Ice has a pure golden color that can only be compared to that of the greatest King in Europe's history, King Midas. This beer has one of the most bestest tastes I have ever had the privilege to touch to my tastes buds. It's flavor can be described as sweet and nutty. I would recommend this beer to any beer conosuer and would challenge them to say that it is not one of the best. It's just so good when it hits your lips.
1.5 I wanted a single serving so I had to settle for this big ass 25 ounce can. Pours a clear straw, loads of foam. Smells so grainy and sweet, to the point of rotten veggies. Grainy and off putting sweet taste. Again, I get a vegetal nastiness that I can't get past. Malt Liquor lite? I'd rather have a Mickeys.
1.9 25oz can, yes we need that extra oz, pours a clear pale golden yellow with a large white head. Light sweet malt aroma. Taste of very watered down malt, lightly sweet. Not much for flavor, but alcohol we hidden at 5.9%, bam party time.
4.8 I fucking loooooove this shit!!!!! I drive my car with a thirty rack in the back seat!!!!!!!
2.8 People on here are judging natural ice like its Macallan 12 year(my favorite scotch) lol!?? It’s a cheap beer with high alcohol content that gets me drunk. Cost me 17.11$ for a 30 pack. I dont care about palate and aroma lol. Its cheap and I can drink it. It aint no steel reserve but its not a great lakes beer either. Lol. Talking about color and looks lol. Y’all are funny
0.8 very faint yellow appearance. 1 finger solid white head. almost zero aroma. flavor. dead sugar, yeast corn and cardboard.
1.6 Pours a clear straw yellow color with a minimal off white head. The aroma is alcohol and grains. The flavor is similar to the aroma.
