hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 23, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash - thanks! Poured a meidum and clear golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of stronger grains with breadiness and citrus. Tastes of mainly grains. For what it is - a Miller Lite beer- this one was kinda drinkable. Thinner body and tastes though. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA Aug 28, 2008 24-Jun-08 (12-oz bottle: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) It’s really difficult to pick out the best of the three in the Brewers Collection, but the Blonde Ale isn’t bad for a Lite beer. It’s malty and grainy with a mild hop bitterness and flavor. There’s a little breadiness in the finish and sweetness is kept to a minimum. Light in body, pretty thin actually, but not quite watery. Malty and fairly grainy nose. Golden-amber in color and showing perfect clarity, but the off-white head pours small and fades fairly quickly. None of these Brewers Collection beers are all that good, but they could be a whole lot worse. This one is actually pushing into the drinkable range. Artillery (17), Lawton, Oklahoma, USA Aug 23, 2008 Way to go again, when I heard they were comeing out with this I thought no way will it be good. Good job arventresca (334), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark gold. Nice ale smell. Taste like a real beer which is saying something. For what it is, a lite beer, it is very good. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA May 28, 2008 Thanks to Bob for the bottle! Poured clear, bright, lighter orangey-golden with a short cap of fizzy off-white head. The aroma had some caramel and lighter fruits paired with pale malts, but the artificial sweeteners ran rampant.. not good, but non-offensive. The flavor had basically the same maltage with the same un-naturally sweet quality.. dry, grassy bitterness on the edges.. short, tacky, sweet finish. Light-bodied on the palate with substantial fizzy, sharp carbonation.. dry on the back and this fell off the finish very quickly. Snojerk321 (1911), San Diego, California, USA May 20, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. I can’t believe Miller attempted at a beer like this........funny..........lame. thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA May 12, 2008 Nice blonde color with a slight white head that dissipates rather fast. Nose is slight, slight malt hidden by cooked corn. Maltier flavor than any light beer I’ve tried, witha tinge toward caramel flavor. Dry finish, leaving a bit more to be desired. Overall, a very good alternative to regular Miller Lite. My "favorite" of the Lite Brewer’s Collection. JPDIPSO (4862), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Apr 13, 2008 Light golden color with a moderate white head. Only hint of scents in the aroma. Perhaps a little toasted malt. Light caramel flavors, with an emphasis on light. Dry soda water finish. A touch more flavor than the regular Miller Lite. So at the ballpark I might just have to go with this one.
