I’m normally a fan of small breweries, but after seeing all of the wonderful advertisements informing me of how good and unique the triple hops brewed technology used to make Miller Lite is I had to give it a go. Miller Lite also sponsors several sporting events that I enjoy watching, but I’ll try not to let that persuade my review.

Unlike the commercials, my beer was not poured by a busty blonde bartender into a glass while I wait, joking around with my multicultural group of good looking male friends. Instead it was just me, alone in my apartment with a 6 pack and a pint glass. Miller lite pours a clear golden yellow color with a rapidly shrinking white head. Which is all well and good because I don’t want that taking up space in my glass that could be better served with more beer.

The aromas pleasantly thin and grainy with hints of hops and corn, an odd brewing independent but probably one of Miller’s secrets. Miller Lite has classic beer smell that brings me back to drinking in the dorm room. While the aroma is familiar it is thankfully thin, this a drink after all not a scented candle.

Miller Lite is as easy to drink as a glass of water, it just goes down easy and you could probably drink a case without feeling full, or getting drunk at 4.2% ABV. The flavors are refreshing, semi sweet with hints of grain. There are some hops in there, but it is not bitter. Truly refreshing and crisp, probably thanks to that patented triple hops brewing technology. I mean adding hops at three times during the brewing process, genius! Miller Lite is what a beer should be, and it doesn’t pack a lot of calories either.

Even without the busty bartender I have to give credit where credit is due, Miller Lite is a great beer worthy of praise. It is popular for a reason, and the advertisements reflect that. I take back what I have said in the past about Miller Lite, this beer is crisp and refreshing, yes it is close to water but who wants complicated flavors anyway? Move over Budweiser, there is a new king.

Overall: 9.5/10 (Would be 10/10 had the bartender been included)
