Natural Ice - The Spit or Swallow Beer Review
Shagdog & Jammer are on thin ice with 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.
Style: Lager - Adjunct
ABV:5.9%
Score:44
From: Anheuser-Busch Missouri, United States
Avail: Year-round
Most beers are brewed, fermented and, just before aging, chilled to around 30 to 35 degrees. Ice beer is chilled below freezing (about 27 degrees) to create ice crystals. Fans say this technique gives the beer a smooth taste.
It’s won a lot of awards They’ve picked up a cool 17 medals so far.
The World Beer Cup is a prestigious global competition that happens every two years. Beers are blind-tasted and judged by a panel of internationally recognized brewers, consultants, industry suppliers and writers.
There is a German beer style called "Eisbock," or “ice strong beer,” that runs 9% to 15% alcohol by volume (or more).
American-style ice lager is similar in style. Both styles are cooled below freezing temperatures after fermentation. However, in the Eisbock, the ice crystals are removed, resulting in a concentrate that’s typically higher in alcohol. Brewers in the U.S. can remove a small amount of ice crystals in the making of ice beers, according to the TTB, which regulates alcohol labeling.
