Miller Lite Blonde Ale





Miller Lite Blonde Ale
Miller Brewing Co.
Milwaukee, WI

Most of you aren't Miller Lite, Miller or macro fans whatsoever, but I don't really care what a beer is or who makes it so long as it tastes good. As far as lagers go, Miller is one of my favorite macros. That's not to say that I drink it regularly (or drink regularly at all) but I've never disliked Miller while hating Bud, Molson, Labatt and most other lagers with a passion. That said, I don't think I've had a Miller Lite but once in my drinking memoirs and I can't remember a damn thing about it. So I'll go tabla rasa on you beermen and tell you what I think. This ain't bad! Their literature lists Bass as this beer's similar and though I disagree, I don't find this to be a subpar drink in comparison to the aptly named Bass. Also according to the literature this has half the carbs and about 1/3 the calories. Even though that's not a concern to me when picking out a beer it is a viable consideration when determining taste values. This is an excellent light beer. Slightly hopped, enough malt to make a pinstache on your decadent micro lip and enough punch to make your nads spark the testosterone flintstone. Is it Arbor Brewing's Brasserie Blonde Belgian Ale? No. Is it trying to be? No. Is it better than Edison Light, Bud Light or the ever-rancid Coors light? Yes ma'am, sir! This is easily as tasty as one of the better lower tier blondies but less filling and tastes GRRRRE...err good. Great would be a step too far but not so far that you can't see the macro for the rice field. I approve of this LITE beer and I can't really say that for others of its ilk.
