Not exactly pouring out like Dark Lord, this one is a flimsy water that looks like someone spilled a little bit of a yellow beer into it.

Aroma, lacks in every department, but hey, there's nothing offputting about it, there's just no substance to the aroma. If you cooked canned corn in the can, this is kind of what the aroma leads you to think.

Mild sweetness, no hop taste, not really any bitterness, the massive water addition really smoothes the beer out, but even with that, there is still a weird metallic note to it.
Man back in the day you could score these so cheap, like $29.99 a keg at Discount Liquors in Milwaukee. Mouthfeel is just some sweetness, metallic corn insides. Probably ok for beer pong if you're young and dumb. I've had worse beers, but not too many. This beers main sin is that it lacks any substance. I'd recommend only if you need a palate cleanser. Even on a hot day, there's plenty of flavorful yet light options out there.

12 ounce can into a shaker pint glass. 15 pack purchased from Piggly Wiggly for $7.99
L: straw/clear w/ streaming bubbles
S: cereal grains, corn, slight grass
T: Not extraordinary. It tastes like beer
F: Light, watery, crisp, clean, refreshing
O: Typical American light beer from Miller. Low abv but to me that is a positive.
Great celebration beer imo. I'd score MBL a solid B-
Not horrible but not worldclass. Just a good beer for the everyday beer drinker.

Pours a 2" pillowy white head with plenty of lacing. Color is pale straw with plenty of streaming carbonation. Aroma: very mild grains. Mouthfeel: crisp with a dry finish. Flavor: pleasant grains and a surprising hop presence for the style. Overall: very pleased with this bargain basement light beer. At less than $0.60 a serving it's hard to beat.

Gold, clear, loose white head, no retention.
Smells like mineral water. No malt or hops present.
The initial flavor is ok, halfway through before you swallow, there’s a stale popcorn flavor that lingers on your palate. There’s better budget beers out there. Not for me.

Out of can it pours a bright, crystal clear gold with a fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Lazy bubbles run up my glass edge, telling the tale of its minimal carbonation mouthfeel. Smells a little grainy, a tiny bit malty. Tastes follows the nose fairly well. I was expecting this beer to be on the fizzy side and double checked the date on the can and was as fresh as can be, just seemed kind of flat compared to say, Miller Lite. I think I like this more than that despite that difference.

16oz can stamped DEC0522 32 poured into a pilsner glass at fridge temp 4.1% ABV. The beer pours extremely bright, very pale gold with nearly white head. The head recedes to an uneven ring and leaves a web of lacing. The aroma is on the strong side for the style with stale grain and corn syrup. The taste is very light with a hint of corny malt, vegetable oil and a slightly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with above average carbonation and a semi dry finish. Overall, mediocre light AAL. Better in the looks and drinkability categories than taste. Could definitely use a few more days in the tank to clean up.

Looks like a beer, smells like a beer, taste like a beer, feels like a beer, and overall I'd say it's a pretty darn good beer for after mowing the yard on a hot day like I just did. And the price is pretty darn good for a six-pack of 16oz.
Don't need no "fu-fu' beer just a real cold REAL BEER. Bottoms up!!

Look of golden straw.
smell very fine stale open can from the night before smell.
tastes faintly stale. Not undrinkable just somewhat off.
Feels great. It is not overly carbonated feels light.
In Iowa and Illinois is 12-13 a 30 pack. Extremely cheap. It is a great party supply beer. In the same vein Keystone light is the same if not a little cheaper beer that is a far superior beer (all things considered). I can see why some people get used to it cause the cost and beer flavor but I cannot get past the stale after taste.
