Miller Genuine Draft (MGD)

Brewed by Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Light straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma and flavor of grain, light malt, and some hops; Fairly bland and watery as to be expected from a macro lager; Overall, in the same category as a Bud for me.

12oz can served ice cold in a pint glass. Pours crystal clear, pale yellow, topped with a small white head that is starting to dissipate quickly (became a partial ring). Surprisingly nice lacing at first, but then it stopped. Clean aroma of lager yeast and hops, hint of caramel//apple something, and some almost metallic skunky smell that isn’t on the good list. The body is really light and heavily carbonated, foamy, almost hard to swallow because it foams up so bad. Flavor is almost nonexistent. There’s a touch of noble hops, a touch of corn, some grainy sweetness. In it’s defense, while it doesn’t taste like much of anything, at least what flavor is there isn’t bad. It’s pale clarity is unnerving. Over carbonated; otherwise a good session beer, less the fact that you can drink a 6-pack an hour without trying.

Light corn malt aroma. Medium yellow color with minimal head. Sweet barley malt flavor. Why is this soo much. Good for when hitting the greens. Maybe not....

Surprised that I have yet to rate this. Can at my Dad’s, poured into a pilsner glass. Aggressive pour yields some foamy head, clear very pale yellow beneath. Corn, grassy, thin aroma. Papery and astringent. Sweet, watery, bready and papery taste. No bitterness, no flavor. Watery.

355ml bottle. Pale and thin looking but lively enough with good carbonationand a light honey colour with a soft white ehad that collapses quickly. Basic and bland aroma and tastes as thin as it looks. Mass produced pale lager that is ordinary at best.

Enjoyed at the Old Towne Tavern in Clarksville, Tennesee. Best Before: December 21, 2009. Appearance: Pours out a crystal clear, light gold body with an inch high stand of simple white foam. Smell: Tremendously light pale maltiness with the merest hint of hop essence. Some notable corn-inspired hints floating around in there as well. Taste: More of that all-too light pale maltiness and corn-esque tastes with a moderate amount of sweetness. Just a bit of Tetrahop, with only an incredibly minute amount of bitterness (almost none) and no real hop flavor. Finishes with a final sweet taste that lingers a few moments beyond the swallow. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Ahh, cold-filter me away to beer heaven, Miller!

The reason you see so many Miller commercials on TV, is because the beer is so bad, no one would buy it otherwise. Reminds me of Summer Fest.

This actually wasn’t a terrible pale lager. Better than most light american lagers, but that’s not saying much. A lawnmower beer and nothing more.
