Bud Ice is a bold, ice-brewed lager from Anheuser-Busch that offers a smooth, slightly stronger beer experience. As part of the Budweiser family, Bud Ice is crafted to deliver crisp refreshment with a fuller body and slightly elevated alcohol content, thanks to its unique ice brewing process.
Tasting Notes:
Bud Ice pours a clear, pale gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma reveals light malt, grain, and a hint of sweetness. On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied with smooth malt flavor, mild hop bitterness, and a clean, refreshing finish. The ice brewing process results in a smoother mouthfeel and slightly more pronounced flavor than standard lagers.
Manufacturer Description:
Anheuser-Busch describes Bud Ice as a lager brewed with a blend of American-grown and imported hops and a mix of malt and corn. Ice brewing—where the beer is chilled until ice crystals form and are removed—helps concentrate flavor and smoothness, resulting in a crisp, easy-drinking beer with an edge.
Bud Ice is ideal for casual occasions when you're looking for a little more flavor and strength from your lager without sacrificing refreshment.
