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.

pretty much bad in every catogory. Horrid smell taste is bad and the aftertaste is worse. not watery like i expected but i wish it was, it’d be easier to drink. It’s making my chex mix taste like poop.

Pretty much a basically bad pale lager, but not as offensive as some. Typical drab appearance and light gold color. The aroma aspect is sewer pee that ranks with the worst. Flavor is strong corn and alcohol but not the typical gutwrench going down.

Nose is corny with some light maltines, sour lemon overwhelms most anything else. Uber light yellow body - extremely clear. Sweetish malt, sour/sulfury. Bready finish.

Imagine Bud Light, but with twice the watered down flavor. This is fizzy H2O with alcohol, which is very noticeable in the finish. Avoid

Anheuser-Busch apparently REALLY likes to carbonate the hell out of their beer. The heads on beers like Budweiser and Natty Ice remind me of the head on a lemon-lime soft drink. They fizz up like crazy and tickle your nose but turn around and they’re gone. This was a considerable improvement over Bud Light... only in that it didn’t make me sick to my stomach. It was also a good bit darker than Bud Light. I assume this is due to the presence of stuff other than alcohol and carbonated water. But you wouldn’t know from the flavor.

Offensive taste, not really anything good at all about this beer except that it’s cheap and will get you wasted. Life is too short to drink crap like this though.

i can say only one good thing about this beer, it is cheap, but buying it still is a waste of money.
