The best way to tackle a Miller Lite is to put it in the freezer until it's just about to freeze (don't actually let it freeze, though - nobody likes ice crystals in their beer). When it's a few degrees above freezing point, take it out of the freezer and try to drink it as fast as you can. Don't worry about brain freeze - the stinging in your head will only aid in distraction from the pain being unleashed upon your palate.
In all seriousness, it's hard to accurately rate something that's really this awful. It's a realm that's so far away from what we know as "beer" - and NOT in a good way (like as in Sam Adam's Utopias). Miller Lite is to beer what the Chicago Cubs are to baseball. Sure, there are people who pretend to like it, but most people don't actually enjoy it. And smarter people have move on to bigger and better things.
Miller Lite looks like a somewhat hydrated man's piss with even less foam. Smells like grains, metal, corn, and musk. Tastes like grains, metal, corn, musk. Unless you drink it ice cold - then it doesn't really taste like much at all (and that's the best thing you can hope for). Don't let this baby get too warm, or it'll be a long night. Mouth feel is like seltzer water and the drinkability is on par with lemonade.
I hate bashing for the sake of bashing, but there is really no reason to ever buy this beer.

12 oz can out of 12-pack purchased from the local Pig. $11.99 ..
As always faint grains, rice or corn "funk", a tiny bit of pine
Nothing out of the ordinary taste wise but not yucky like Bud
Mouthfeel is crisp, light waterted down which is rtpical for this style of beer
Good lunch beer paired with a hamburger, bbq, chicken wings
Nothing against "craft beer" drinkers but I just like the everyday beer for the ordinary working man.

Pale, very clear, little head, and mild aroma. Drinks like sparkling water with a slightly sweet, light malt flavor. Refreshing for a hot day or light meal.

My Summer with Cigar out in the back yard beer. I've drank this off and on since it came out in my college bartending days. These days it is my go to beer after mowing the lawn and as above summertime cigar smoking beer. Fall and Winter, I don't do ML, but won't bash it either.
No beer snob or quality cigar snob am I...

One has to try review beers on their style/type. This is not a great Pilsner to be sure, but compared to other typical American light beers, I was shocked at how much better it is. Itt to actually has some body and flavour!!

This is my go to beer, if I need something fast, and not caring if multiple people have some. Don't know why it gets a bad rap, but a decent mass produced beer.

Great bus beer or football beer. Nothing special but an easy beer to drink with friends.

Not completely terrible but not good by any means. Really no head at all and minimal lacing. Color is that of a typical light beer. There is little to no smell but taste is at least bearable.
