Miller Chill Chelada Style

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

Eeek, I think when this stuff came out I had a taste and thought if they dropped the lime and salt that they might be on to something halfway drinkable, I had a bit of it this weekend and I don’t know it has been reformulated since then or what but it lacked any hop character or dryness at all. The stuff was smooth, and no boys and girls that is not a good thing. The lime flavor was way overpowering and tasted very artificial. The salt was a little out of control too; basically it left it with a chemical lime soda taste that I really did not like.

Miller in a green bottle… why? I’ve put off trying this one for quite some time, but today was my lucky day to finally crack one open. My oh my, I hate the beer more than the beer ads for it. Straw yellow with a large white fading head. Aroma of mild lime, apple and funk. Taste of apple, malt, corn. Astringent as all get out and pretty bad but actually exceeded my zero expectations

~Pours a pale clear yellow with quickly disappearing white head. ~Lemon lime scent with sour wheat. ~Sweet sugary lime taste with hints wheat. ~Light feel, quick sweet finish. ~Not very good.

Bottle. Wow...how terrible. I can’t believe that anyone thought this was a good idea.

Bottle. Pours gold. Smells of some malt. Mostly lime. Tastes sticky with the lime, but some malts present. A little to sticky flavor and aftertaste. I wont be drinking this one again.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with lime like notes of sodapop combined with notes of guave fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of guave and lime - like a sodapop. The body is thin.

Had a sample at NABA ’06. Pours a mellow golden yellow color. Aromas of grains, light hops, and a funky musty smell. Flavor is bland with a weird funk, salty lime. This stuff is nasty. I think if you did the dog thing and licked your own junk after a basketball game it would taste better than Miller Chill.

This is a cool looking beer and a great gimic when it came out, but that is about it. I don’t like the lime and salt and the smell is not appeasing to anyone.
