The idea of lime and beer seemed refreshing, cooling...and I had sampled Miller Chill at a backyard celebration earlier in the spring (and was seriously less than impressed with it), but decided that perhaps Bud could do it better....they did- a little bit- it was passable, acceptable, but certainly not memorable or exceptional.   Save your money, and take your favorite beer, and invest about $1.50 at the local produce market for 15-20 fresh limes.  Mix to taste.  I expect that this all started because of Corona Commercials....It doesn't seem to be a good pairing with American beer.  If you like the combo, you like it.  The lime actually overshadows the light beer...you actually lose the beer flavor, and at that point it isn't much different than a bottled water with lime.  And I have a problem with the whole concept of light beer.  Considering what components make up beer, what can you take away to reduce calories and carbs without seriously disrupting what makes beer flavorful?  Then, you add back in the carbs with citrus juice.  How schizo is that?  Unless, they are using artificial flavors rather than real citrus (I didn't bother to read the label that closely, because it simply wasn't something that I was interested enough to do)

If you aren't a beer drinker, you actually might....but I would encourage you to by a nice beer and some fresh lime..I really enjoyed it that little

I'm not a beer drinker at all but I'm actually curious in Miller Chill. LOL!! Since I'm not a beer drinker, maybe I'll like it. :-)

Doesn't sound good to me either. Looking at the other reviews on this beer is funny . No one is in the middle - it's love or hate.
