Milwaukees Best

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

12 oz can. Cheap adjuncts in the nose. Pours yellowish-gold with a medium head which dissipates quickly. Slightly above average lacing for a beer of this style. Watery, little flavor.

Oh man......Taste of grain/corn flavored water with a bad aftertaste. Pale yellow, white head. You know the drill...

The pour starts pale yellow, but turns to a beautiful gold colored beer when it hits the glass. It pours with 4 inches of white foam that subsides in 3 miuntes. There is adequate carbonation in this beast remaining to hold a thin film head, even after all that. Aroma of corn and other adjunct grains. Soapy flavor thats mildly sweet and grainy. There is some bitterness, but i can tell if it is from the "hop" or not used to brew the whole kettle, or something else. Flat mouthfeel like water. Drink it from the can like you’re supposed to.

Almost white, clear yellow with a big white foam. The aroma is tinny, instantly giving me a mild headache, some corn sweetness. Taste is again watery and metallic, a void of flavor with hints of corn and tin. It is drinkable enough, not too offensive if you avoid inhaling its fumes.

Had this once, and never again. Around the park in taste to most American Light beers. Yellow, clear look. Water, cream corn, bitter alcoholic finish. Is drinkable to those who enjoy LIGHT beers in the American style not to be confused with people who consider real beer to have the full package of aroma, appearance, flavor, and palate.

Ok. I have always been confused by the snooty armchair brewers of this world’s collective opinion of Milwaukee’s Best. All of you guys seem to typically agree on the shortcomings of the American macrobrew when it comes to the standards, but with the "Beast" there is definitely a divergence in opinion about why it is so bad. On the one side, you have those claiming the old gal has no flavor or character. On the other, you have those who say the flavor is loud and caustic to the point of causing permenant injury, which is actually an opposing complaint. The real story is-get ready-if you a.) are used to drinking beer-I mean if you can stomach beer in the first place other than Bud Light with Lime or Mic Ultra; b.) are not accustomed to bartenders feeling compelled to add decorative plastic toys to your drinks; c.) English is your first language, and; d.) you either curse or fondly remember the day that you or someone in your immediate family supported the efforts of any of the following: Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, GHW Bush, Clinton, GW Bush, or Obama, the flavor of Milwaukee’s Best should not be unbearable. If it makes you gag, just admit you aren’t the beer drinking sort (ironically enough, Bud Light-ophiles and micro sippers both have the same approximation of MB’s flavor)-you can like a couple of beers without being a beer guy. There just isn’t enough there to qualify this beer as disgusting. Having said that, it does have a flavor. It is a lowest common denominator American beer taste that does not lower itself to being comparable to malt liquor. It has a mildly hoppy taste and isn’t sweet or extremely bitter. It doesn’t smell great, but it won’t make you puke to take a big ol’ whiff. It looks like cheap beer (but beer nonetheless). If you honestly like beer, you should have no problem being able to take down a sixer of MB if you were forced to in some bizarre theoretical circumstance and not suffer any digestive consequences. It is not anyone’s favorite. It is cheap. It, however, has an appreciable flavor and it is a decent agree to disagree choice for those who really, honestly enjoy beer.

This piss beer is called "Milwaukee’s Beast" for a very good reason.
