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.

Fairly tasteless and inoffensive when ice cold, but wait til this baby warms up to room temperature. All kinds of heavy metals, light metals, battery acid. It’s like meth in a can.

Wait a minute, I’ve had this more than enough times in my life and I just found my notes on this. Though mostly an after hockey game beer, I grabbed a couple to take home to investigate its characteristics. Here are my findings (yes, this is from several years ago, but honestly, I don’t think that matters).
I have always poured this into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent looking clear yellow color with a fair amount of carbonation rising at a rapid pace. The white less than one fingered white foamy head dissipated within less than twenty seconds. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell was cooked corn. I couldn’t get anything else.
The taste was sweet and had the corn invade that sweetness.
The palate, it sat exceptionally light and showed a superior sessionability about this one. The carbonation seems good for the style and okay to me, yeah I know its one of light lagers, yeah well.
Overall, well, its Natural Ice, a beer that has quenched me after hockey for more than enough years and has helped sleep fairly well at night after I used to pound probably the whole 12 pack. Sigh, well, now that I’m a good 7 years older from my original beer roots and I look at this beer. Hmmm...its not bad, but probably not something I’d seek to buy. Would I have it again after a hockey game these days? Hmmm...probably would. Cheers. That’s all that matters.

Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt and floral. Taste is light sweet and light bitter. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Can 25oz. A clear, pale golden beer with a nice creamy white head. Next to none aroma, some fruity notes and a vague malty touch. Some grass and pine cones too. There’s a faint bitterness in the flavor, as well as green apples, some pale malts and a generic fruityness. Thin on the palate, very low on carbonation level. Mostly water this one. 130811

Bought a 6-pack of these in the States for dirt cheap (and a 12-pack of Bud Ice - so comparing both crap swills, from the same maker). This one pours a light golden colour with a fizzy white head that leaves a creamy lace. Aromas of grains and light chemical hops. Terrible taste of metal with the shitty hops. The weird thing is that corn comes and save the day, in the aftertaste. By saving, I don’t mean much. Not sure where the "Natural" comes in. Just like most US macro... junk for headaches.

Rating from 6/10/13. 16 oz tallboy bought from the discount cooler at a local convenience store. Pours clear deep gold with a surprisingly decent white head with nice retention. Aroma is cotton candy sweet. Taste is sweet, bland, a little grainy in the finish. Texture is watery, fairly soft carbonation for style. Boring, sweet macro whose only saving grace is the relatively impressive appearance. Finished it off by pouring spicy V8 and some celery salt into it. It was a definite improvement.

Natty ice. You gotta love it - if you are a frat boy or a derelict. Thanks Eric Kok for sharing so generously at the de molen borefts bier festival. (Wink, wink). Quite a contrast to the dark lord we also shared.

Can shared thanks to Erickok. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma of urinal cakes, nothing good. Flavour is terrible, I can’t say any more. This is just dreadful.
