Miller Chill Chelada Style

Brewed by Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Fruit Beer
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

I was given a bottle of this and told it was just like Corona. Ouch, what an insult to Corona! The appearance and smell was that of generally most American macro lagers--pale yellow and sour smelling. There was supposed to be a hint of lime but I couldn’t tell in the smell. The taste was more of the same: sour sour sour. I could hard swallow it. It was sour and bitter and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. If you want a Mexican-style beer, get a Mexican beer!

The last time I had something with the word "Chelada" on the bottle, I almost fuckin’ puked. And I’m no primadonna when it comes to sampling disgusting fuckin’ brews. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a harmless combination of cheap American Lager with hints of salt and lime; Also known as Tequiza circa 1998. In other words it’s exactly what it claims to be. Not that that makes it great necessarily, just marginally better than anticipated since I was fearing the worst after discovering that word Chelada after getting home and there being no turning back...

These are good ice cold on a hot summer day...otherwise I wouldn’t touch them. I think Miller did this pretty well...the salt and the lime are a good flavor with the beer. Unfortunately, if it’s beer you’re looking for, this won’t suffice. It is what it is.

Ugh, this stuff is nasty. I must have gotten a hold of an expired batch or soemthing, because this stuff tasted really skunky-funky. I just wanted this beer to be over, I didn’t enjoy it at all.

Pale straw color with minimal foam ring and spots. Smells kinda like vomit. As it warms it smells like someone squeezed a lime wedge over the vomit. Tingly carbonation and light-medium mouthfeel offers up that sparkling grape juice quality. Sweet light malt almost completely covered by the lime flavor and some grapiness. Weird watery Zima-like taste on the finish. Tastes like a really light beer with some lime juice and sweetener added.

Bottle. So I have decided to start rating the cheaper more mass produced brews. Like a miller lite with some fake candy lime flavors. I hate to say it though it was pretty easy to drink the stuff.

An acquaintance recommended I try this beer when she saw I was drinking Corona Extra with a lime. I was skeptical, and after the first few sips, it was palatable. Better than I expected, but I didn’t expect much.

This is nothing like a chelada. Think pelligrino, plus lime, plus some sort of artificial fruit, plus a load of fizz. Yellow body white head. Maybe some grapes in the taste. Semi-Refreshing due to the watery nature but definitly not a tasty one.
