Bright reddish amber with pinkish hues. Head is off-white and retains fairly well. Bready-sweet, estery smell. In general, not too far off from any number of other Miller products, or red lagers for that matter, but sweeter. Reminds me of a malt liquor. No skunk. How could there be? That is one dark bottle that I poured this from. Very grainy, especially in aftertaste, but sweet as expected, nearly cloying. Taste is a little off perhaps, with apple and banana-like esters detectable but not intolerable, definitely not just the alcohol I'm tasting. Fuller end of light in body, watery. Medium sudsy carbonation is there, but fades fast. Fairly smooth. It's even warming, but that just doesn't work with this style unless you appreciate that as part of getting buzzed. Heaven knows, I do, from time to time, but not when I'm trying to get to know a beer to so that I can share it with the world. Last time I purchased this it was $6.99 and I had a $2 off coupon. For someone as broke as myself, that's well worth it, but it's still a lower-tier beer.

This is one that I had a few years ago & since Miller is a popular beer brand, I decided to give it a score. I tasted a lot of corn going on, it was okay but I still would prefer some Miller High Life over this product. Cheers! C

Tastes good in a whiskey glass, slow sipping. Great for what it is. Cheap, strong, and tastey.

This is Miller's answer to AB Black Crown. It's not as good....But, much better than lower tier American adjunct brews. It rates an "okay" from me. This beer.. ."Poor" compared to the other 'poors" BA rates in this category is WAY unfair. Yes , it is a malty non-hoppy ale. Seems the hoppy beers win the higher ratings. Try it and see what you think?
