Miller Lite

Miller LightThere’s this commercial that I’ve seen several times during football games recently. It shows a couple of Miller Brewing dudes in safety goggles hoisting a banner from the World Beer Cup 2006. It seems as if Miller Lite, for the fourth time in the storied history of the competition, is the gold medal winner in the prestigious American-Style Light Lager category. To me that’s like someone proudly hanging a new Embezzler of the Year plaque in their office. Cheers to being the best at what you do, Miller Lite. Too bad what you do borders on criminal.

Personally, I prefer to keep my World’s Best Deadbeat Dad 2004 trophy well hidden. It’s not something I like to brag about, even though it is a really handsome trophy and I worked hard to get it.

I guess Miller Lite deserves a review, so here goes… It pours a diluted Post-it Note yellow with a bubbly-ish white head. It smells of a skunk that fell in a pile of hops and tried to clean up using my roommate’s Juicy Green Apple shampoo. It also tastes of a skunk that fell in a pile of hops and tried to clean up using my roommate’s Juicy Green Apple Shampoo. And that’s all I really have to say about Miller Lite.

My wife and I made the same observation. It’s like winning an award for the best tasting cup of urine. In the end, it’s still urine.

i guess the taste great, less filling doesn’t apply to beer(ish) flavored water? :)

Miller must be really proud – they beat out some really stiff competition for that coveted banner: Bronze went to Michelob Light and Silver went to Lone Star Light. These three are the some shining stars of that constellation we sadly call American brewing . . .

you people are dumb. Every one knows that Miller lite is a beer that alot of people like to get drunk off of with out sacrificing too much flavor, its not like keystone light. Its not fu*king in a boat, Its fu*king on the beach.

Drewski, no one ever said Miller Lite won’t get you drunk, infact I’m sure the majority of sevenpack’s readership has done so at some point in their life; there’s no shame in that. That being said it still tastes like buffalo turds, especially when compared to 99.9% of the beers reviewed on this site. It’s terrible plain and simple, end of debate.
