Miller Chill Chelada Style

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

Serve in Flute

Almost no head, weak gold body. Aroma of fake lime and grass. Taste is sour lime pop with a cardboard beer finish, then a cloying rice sweetness. Just crappy all around - give me a BL Lime anyday, or even better yet, a proper beer!

Appearance: light yellow. Doesn’t even try at any semblance of a head or lace. Meager paper thin ringlet. Swirls with nothing else except overly rambunctious carbonation.
Nose: lemon and cola; much like a sprite or 7-Up. The citrus is there in all its artificial chemically laden fallacy. Roses lime juice; sickenly thick and sweet. Artificial sweetener. Zero discernable malt and hop character.
Palate: spritely, in a carbonated sense of the word/brand. Seltzer water with a splash of artificial lime juice. Very watery with no finish. Lingering sense of wetness atop my tongue which reminds my tastebuds that they are experiencing something and that something happens to have practically no taste. Fizzed up roses lime juice. Stale crackers are a feeble whisper, the only ghost of a hint that this is a beer.
Final Thoughts: I get it, and yet I really don’t get it. Beer is beer because it has flavor, diversity, personality, ingenuity, history, culture, a store. Junk like this has nothing except empty faddish already half-dead marketability to the lowest most homogenized common denominator. If I wanted spritely fizzy limey water I’d get me some nice tonic, a fresh lime, squeeze, stir, sup, and enjoy.

This "White Bread" poured a crystal clear, light yellow colour with a bright white head. To the nose there are scents of lime, candy and grass. First swig was almost like beer cut in half with water. Very light lime flavour with a little corn. Finish was limey with corn lasting too long...

A: Green. Mildly impressed that they got it to look so much like Ecto Cooler. All they need is to have Slimer on the bottle. S: Sweet, fake lime. T: Like the appearance, straight Ecto Cooler. The taste isn’t that bad, but certainly not very beer-like. M: Very thin with quite a bit of carbonation. D: Fairly drinkable given what it is, but I wouldn’t ever choose to have this again.

Miller Chill entered Canada summer of 2010, one year after the big craze of lime beers in 2009. Pours a pale light yellow colour with a big frothy white head that stays a while and creates some mild dirty lace. Big lime aroma right out of the clear bottle. Tons of bubbles stuck to the side of the glass. Watery mouthfeel making this one refreshing for hot days. The lime taste is not as strong as drinking from the bottle. Mild grain finish. Definitely a beer to drink from the bottle, as it it much better that way. Goes down easy.

355 ml (clear) bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear bright but pale yellow gold with decent-sized lasting white head and steady bubbles. Aroma is light sweet lime juice. Taste is nothing particularly special but not as repulsive as I had suspected - light sweet lime juice, some lemon, salt is even detectable. Quite thin and nothing in the finish. It’s about as faint praise as exists, but I really think this is the best of the ’lime’ beers out there. But as just a beer its still quite weak.

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2010 ALERT! ALERT! WARNING! CAUTION! Avoid at all costs. This beer will break your heart.

Bottled. One of the best lime beer in Macro category. That aint saying much, but one or two of these can be enjoyable during warm summer days...
