Miller Lite

This is the ubiquitous light beer from Miller (however, it is pronounced as "Lee-tay") (I'm just kidding!!). It is the original "light" beer and was introduced in 1975. They recently put it out again with the original label. That caused some sort of nostalgic yearning within me (good marketing guys), and seeing that I had never reviewed this beer, I had a good reason to get the throwback can.  I find this original label superior to any since and think they should go back to it and stick with it. The label says it is a "Fine Pilsner" and "Triple Hopped", but let's get serious, it ain't all that.

The beer pours a pale yellow golden, bleached out straw, in color. There is an inch of pure white head that fizzes out rapidly to nearly nothing. The aroma is light golden grain, corn, cooked corn, and light, wet cardboard. The taste follows the aromas, but is a bit more pleasing than they are. There is a very light grassiness on the finish that indicates they at least thought of using hops. It is nicely, crisply and refreshingly carbonated.
