Miller Lite Review

Consumer Note:  this beer is "triple hops brewed"

* Brilliant pale yellow with fast-fading bleached head.

* Clean bready nose with sweet corn backdrop (no hops).

* Unrestrained sweetness through midtaste tastes more like corn than malt (no hops).

* Finish transforms rather quickly from sweet to dry.  Aftertaste is a bit minerally (no hops).

* Body is thin and lifeless; carbonation is crisp and prickly.

Synhopsis:

Like I wrote in the sound bite, this beer (and I use the term lightly) is good for what it is meant to be: flavored, carbonated water.  As such, it serves its purpose.  If all you ask of your beer is a good thirst-quenching, then Miller Lite is the beer for you.

While I have no problem giving Miller Brewing Company credit for brewing this type of beer -I know it's not easy to do- I'm irritated to no end that they use such blatantly misleading advertising to attract consumers.  Miller Lite has absolutely no hop character whatsoever, and yet they have the balls to say it's "triple hops brewed"!  What the hell does that even mean to the average consumer!?

Oh- I must also add that anyone who has ever tasted a legitimate Pilsner beer, i.e., a beer made in Plzen in the Czech Republic, knows that calling Miller Lite a Pilsner style beer is an insult to an entire country.
