kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 18, 2008 12oz bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa). Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma is sour bitterness with notes of wet, dirty towel. Flavor is watery, slightly bitter, empty and nearly devoid of detectable flavor with a quick, watery finish. This beer is best as a thirst quencher on a hot summer day, but worth little else in our opinion. machfive55 (218), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 16, 2008 Had this in a can, that’s right, cans!
Anyhow, its been awhile since I had this beer so I had to approach it objectively.
It has an aroma of beer, but not a very pleasing aroma. Smelled skunky to me, but the beer was not bad.
There was a weak carbonation, and the beer is watery leaving almost no appealing palate.
Flavor is of a watered down pilsner, little bitterness or hop character to be found. Some adjunct flavor persists, possibly rice used as an adjunct?
I’m not a connosoir of the style, so I’m not sure why this beer won at the world beer cup several times. Surely there must be better examples of this style.
I could see this as being a session beer, but not for me as I just could not drink more than one at a sitting. It just did not appeal to me at all. CousinJimmy (5), , Indiana, USA does not count Jun 14, 2008 The best of the American light beers. Draft is the prefered method of drinking this one. llbjr77 (72), Largo, Florida, USA Jun 12, 2008 Had on tap and in bottles. Probably the best "light American beer" but still horrible! Cannot see why anyone that enjoys beer would want to drink any "light" beer from America! QHopjunky (8), , Indiana, USA does not count Jun 12, 2008 I really don’t mind this beer, would never be my choice if i were buying, but would happily accept...better than the other big brewery’s light beers...if i buy a keg, this is typically what i get daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Jun 11, 2008 if I am at a sports bar and nothing else is available this is the beer I drink. At least its not a bud product. ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Jun 11, 2008 Not much to this beer. pours dull yellow with a white head that doesnt last. not much to the taste. if you are looking for a beer to drink one right after another go out and get you some. Dmalone102 (216), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 10, 2008 I liked the comment that refered to it as "watered down dish soap. My review has nothing to do with being a beer snob, Miller lite is just not good. I had it out of a keg at my buddies wedding but only because it was the only beer there. Watery, Pale, only a yeasty off-flavor is present. No Hops, no malt profile, nothing.
