Miller Lite:
‘Ello luvs! Welcome to another thrilling edition of Apocalyptic Beer Reviews.  Seeing how the world may or may not be ending in December I want to potentially go out with a good beer in my hand, hence my wanting to knock out the usual suspects as early as possible.  Today brings us to the conclusion of those 4 and none to soon.  For those wondering, it’s Bud(weiser), Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Light.  Of those four, Coors Light and Miller Light seem to be in an arms race on who can make the cheesiest bottle and can possible.  Aluminum pints, cold activated labels, two stage cold activated labels, wide mouth  cans, taste protection lid (which my can has), spiral bottle necks, and the newest, a second air hole (saw it on a billboard today, promise).  Of the three light beers, this one is by far the most flavorful of the group, and probably deserves some credit for being the watchers of the bee in the jar while the better beers are showcased. Miller Light pours ok, being a little on the foamy side no matter how well you try to pour it and the nose is a mix of the pilsner malts and hops.  The taste is sharper than one would expect, bring a bite of hops at the front end and a subtle banana flavor to the back that is quickly followed by lots of fizz and a dry finish.  Now I know we have all tried this beer in the past, don’t be ashamed to admit it.  Before Bud Light Platinum came along, this would have been my light beer of choice and still is when it comes to the canned variety.   Until Platinum comes in a can (not very likely from what I’ve heard) this is my cheap “river beer’ of choice and I will stick to my guns on this one.  I’m just glad I don’t have to use my dorm room key to punch a hole in the bottom anymore.  All that work to just drink my beer faster is hard work.  Till tomorrow friends.
