Natural Ice

Pros: Low Price; Easy to Drink
Cons: Bad flavor; very little foam; very light

Being a beer connoisseur (or beer “snob”, as some like to put it) and a frequent taster/rater of beer here in Epinions, I have had a great time discovering new and unusual malt beverages. When the mood to try a new beer hits me, I’m off to my favorite ...

Pros: Cheap and affordable, decent taste, alcohol content, better than most cheap beers.
Cons: Can be a bit weak in flavor. It's still a cheap beer.

Normally when I drink, I usually stick with beer. The main choices I stay with are Budweiser, Bud Light, and rare times Bud Ice Light. I don't drink to get toasted or anything, I do it when I get off of work sometimes to kick back or when I get together ...

Pros: I could not find any
Cons: Unpleasant aftertaste

Back in the mid nineteen nineties, Ice beers were all the rage. I worked at a liquor store at the time, and we just couldn't keep Molson Ice in stock. The stuff would literally fly out the door. Why? Simple, really. The alcohol content was higher. That...

Pros: Killer buzz
Cons: Not very tasty

Colorado Springs is not a big city. With roughly a little more than 300,000 residents, it’ll never be confused with New York City, or New Orleans, or even Denver. But one thing our small city has going for it is a plethora of choices regarding booze ...

Pros: Freshness dated, inexpensive, wide-mouthed 32 ounce bottles.
Cons: Low class, white trash sub-culture that champions this beer.

Pros: For me, it is inexpensive, lacks major flavor
Cons: For some, it will be inexpensive, lacks major flavor

Five stars you say? Listen: Natural Ice is cheap. Natural Ice has alcohol. And Natural Ice taste like… Budweiser. Well, perhaps it is not exactly like Budweiser, but it is close enough that almost all of you should not care. Sure it doesn’t taste ...

Pros: Cheap! Fast-acting!
Cons: You'll be ashamed if caught drinking this; harsh, awful taste.

Indeed, here's Anheuser-Busch with yet another cheap, mass-produced beer. I don't want to pick on Anheuser-Busch, now, but Natural Ice is one of the worst-tasting things on the market. It's dirt cheap, and tastes like it.

The appeal of Natural...

Pros: Refreshing taste, reasonably priced
Cons: Tastes better when its cold

I was never much of a beer drinker, preferring mostly amber ales when I felt the desire. Most of my friends drink Natural Ice, however, and it was inevitable that I would one day end up tasting one.

To my surprise, I wasn't disappointed. At...

Pros: 5.9% and cheap
Cons: Tasteless, Unsubstantial

My wife's making chilli again. She makes the best chilli I've ever tasted. She only does it about 4 times a year, but there's always enough to eat for weeks.

Luckily, I had some Natural Ice in the refrigerator. It had been there for about 3...

Pros: Available and inexpensive, good for boiling bratwurst in
Cons: Another macro brewed cheap beer

Imagine, if you dare, the local mini-mart, it’s parking lot full of dilapidated four wheel drive vehicles. A man with few bottom teeth and a stench that makes a three month old bag of fermented potatoes smell like roses. Under his arm is the demise of...

Pros: None
Cons: Worse than the original...

As I have been working on reviews for each of the Ice versions of bad beers, Natural being one of the worst on the market, it's been difficult to find new ways to teach the same important lesson:

Icing Badly Made Beers Only Makes Them...

Pros: cheap, high alcohol
Cons: terrible taste, called "natty ice,"

Natural Ice is the bottom offering from Anheuser-Busch. It has only one purpose: to inebriate high school kids who pay some bum to buy beer for them. "Natty Ice" is extremely carbonated, resulting in a mouth-curdling experience which I can...

Pros: Cheap, fast
Cons: The flavor is lacking, the recourse is considerable

This is the beer that Anheuser-Busch is so ashamed of you won't see any merchandise for it at Busch Gardens (I have on good authority). This is the beer reviled for its taste, aftertaste, texture, color, and the annoying way the can looks after...

Pros: Cheap, Alcohol Content
Cons: Stale Taste, Hard to Find in a Bottle

Natural Ice, better known as ‘Nati Ice’, is one of the few beers that you can obtain a 12-pack for five bucks or less. Now don’t get me wrong, this is not what I would call a good tasting beer. But for a college student looking to get a buzz and has a...

Pros: Great bouquet.
Cons: Seltzerish taste.

When I first cracked the top on one of these cans, I was shocked to smell pleasant and an exciting floral hop bouquet! I paid about seven bucks for a 12-pack, and expected nothing from it. My nose aroused, I took a deep and hearty swallow, only to...
