#15 Miller - Chill

I am excited to try this beer. It continues with my fruit in beer theme from early in the week but with a new beer from Miller. I guess this is trying to compete with Carona and lime. On the label this is called a Chelada Style which is described as a cocktail using beer and not hard liquor.

If I was smelling this beer blind I would think the heavy citrus smell was the result of large quantitys hops. But knowing what this beer is I think the smell is lime, but I've still not had a sip. The color is a very pale yellow, that started with a lot of head when poured but it quickly drops to only a few bubbles from the bottom and only a little foam on the edges.

My first thought when drinking this beer is "Wow, thats a lot of lime". It tastes like lime juice with beer added. I can't distinguish any known beer flavors, no malt, no hops, no bitterness, no sweetness, just Lime. The lime leaves a clean taste in my mouth.

I know this is beer because its says so on the bottle and its made by Miller, but with my eye closed I might think I am drinking a thin margarita. So if you want a Margarita that is a little thin this is your beer. I guess this is Chelada style, if thats what you want.

So, If anyone wanted a low-cal margarita, maybe this would do?

I thought it tasted like lime koolaide.

It would pass as a low-cal margarita.
