Tallcan TV: Natural ICE!
I remember back in the day drinking Natty Ice in College from something called a “bottle” that was either 22oz or 40oz. You don’t have to worry about what exactly that is. Just know that it was a phase and along with smoking cloves just to impress cheerleaders and wearing a jean vest over a leather jacket, I’m largely over it.
Above we see the TCTV crew, the team you don’t really know and certainly don’t trust, enjoying the amazing pairing of Natural Ice, chaw, and the invigorating waft of 2-stroke fumes. Not entirely sure which had the most effect on the level of discourse, but you can tell from our constant adherence to the BEER as the main topic of conversation that we did indeed love the stuff. For the most part.
Natural Ice is YET another Anheuser-Busch Beverage. But in this case, there is enough popularity around this product for them to have a microsite dedicated to it. From that site you can sign up for email and FREE CRAP! Ecplore and submit Natty-isms. Such Natty jargon includes: Natattat: The sound of three Nattys opening at once. Natidermist: One who loves his natty ice so much he has it stuffed and mounted. I might add Nattarded: The state of having drunk so much Natty ice that you blab on for an hour about it making it a royal pain in the ass to edit a sub 10 minute video about it.
According to Wikipedia: “The 5.9 % alcohol content and low price lends this beer to high consumption on college campuses.” We can all corroborate that fact.
For some reason Natty Ice got largely unfavorable reviews on BeerPal.com. Those people probably just need to train their palates and learn to pair this fine beverage properly with aromatic power tools and fine cut tobacco.
It also comes in special Natural Ice Lip Balm form.
Aparently the fine conna-sewers over @ Beer Advocate Forums didn’t like it either!
I think the take home message here, like fine wine, cheese and monday night football, is that if consumed alone, on it’s own merits, Natty Ice is unremarkable, lackluster and potentially yucky. BUT when combined with the catalytic effects of chainsaws, chew and the bro-mantic atmosphere of a bigass manGarage, Natty Ice can go head to head with anything in a can!
