like 7up with a faint cheap beer flavour. There is nothing really offensive about it because there is nothing really about this beer. Sweet grain aroma, thin mouthfeel, big bubbles of carbonation, sour yeasty corn flavor, not much else. 50 cents at the dollar store is the one plus side to this brew.

If "He was a wise man who invented beer" then "He was a drunk man who invented Old Milwaukee Light". The beer pours an almost unnatural-looking shade of yellow, giving it an almost carbonated-apple-juice sort of look. Old Milwaukee Light smells primarily of cheap beer, with hints of cheap beer in the background. After pouring a 12 ounce can, you’ll usually be "rewarded" with somewhere frighteningly close to an inch of foamy, white head. One of the few times I can actually recall saying "Hang on, that’s way too much head". This is a completely unimpressive beer, that should only be drank in cases of severe financial need.

Pours so light yellow it was amazing, with a white head. Aroma was almost non existent but had some corn on there. Flavor is almost like water as well, sobland it cant even be offensive.

I went all-out on this 500th rating with a six pack of 16 oz cans of Old Milwaukee Light for $3.49 at Kroger. The most colorless beer I’ve ever seen, not far from clear. Aroma is almost like water. Flavor like light beer diluted to 75% strength with water; a tiny hint of bitterness in the finish, but it might be caused by the cleaning chemicals. Light and fizzy mouthfeel. The worst non-offensive beer I’ve ever had; I’m glad I tried it.

Sampled at the 2008 Folio Weekly Beer Fest. There is nothing in this beer worth while. It was a complete disappointment, and my initial instinct after getting a good pour of this was to dump it out and head to the next booth. Not worth the effort.

I wanted to just type in "worse than piss" but that isn’t enough characters...so I had to type other stuff too!
