Old Milwaukee actually scored higher than Bud, Bud lite, Miller, etc., on beer rating web sites. Don't knock it dude.
Maybe if everybody was drunk to start with.
From the Beer Advocate: Bud Light - score D minus
Presentation: 22 oz brown wide mouth bottle, “born on date” on the label for freshness. This sample was pour into a frozen mug to bring it to optimum temperature.
Appearance: Palest yellow that a beer could be you would guess, almost colourless to a point. Exceptional clarity with a faint wispy white lace.
Smell: Very clean aroma, nearly nothing there. Cereal grains and a light whiff of filtered grain reaches the nose.
Taste: Very light bodied, close to bone dry. Thin seltzer like mouth feel. Virtually no hops noticeable to the tongue until the crispness kicks and subsides … bitterness seems to only ride the wave of seltzer like carbonation, but little at that. Malt is extremely thin and scant to the palate. Touch of grain and husk in the flavour but that is about it. Bone dry finish comes to no surprise.
Notes: This beer is for the tasteless beer drinker that thinks there is only ONE beer out there. You may as well drink some seltzer water with alcohol added to it … get the picture, you are not a real beer drinker!
Serving type: bottle.
Old Milwaukee Light - score B
Presentation: 12 oz can, no freshness date. I love the boasting on the can; 1999 GABF Gold medal winner … America’s Best Tasting Light Beer.
Appearance: Translucent very pale yellow, perfect clarity with a minimal yet sticky lace on top.
Smell: Very clean nose with hints of grain and a smidgen of hops.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Super smooth with a spot on crispness, watery malt and cereal grain flavour. Very little hops at all, just a small amount of bitterness and not flavour. Very clean on the palate with little to no off flavours … I could not detect any. Clean and dry.
Notes: This is what a light beer is supposed to be, If I was a light beer drinker this is the one I would go for time and time again.
Serving type: can
