Notes:
Brewed using the finest barley malt, select grains, all-imported hops and a pure-cultured yeast strain. The special choice of grains combined with the extended mashing process produces a smooth, refreshing beer with fewer carbohydrates.

Not sure why this beer is rated so poorly. It is what it says it is. It's an ultra light beer with little flavours. Pure summer beer to keep things light. Don't expect anything else. It pours a clear golden color with okay head. Corn/rice aromas and flavorist. Medium carbonation. My rating is based on the fact it's meant to be the least flavourful and lightest of beers.

Went to one of the local restaurants for some BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and fries. When we placed our order, the waitress asked what we would like to drink. I asked if they had beer and she replied that all they had was Michelob. Haven't had any in a very, very long time so I said, "Sure". My review numbers express my feelings about it.

Pours light with fizzy slight head. Crisp and light lager “beer” at only 4.2% ABV. Bottomless brew at Happy Face Simi Valley music festival- better than sparkling water? Bottoms up - cheers!

Drunk during my trip to Silao (Guanajuato, México). Normal bottle.
Look - pale yellow and translucid with a 2 cm. white head and leaving traces.
Smell - citric and grain.
Taste - citric taste, but also light taste
Feel - light body with a medium carbonation
Ovearll - normal brew.

Look is pale straw which I expect with a super light beer. Smell of sweet corn mash. Drank a number of these to be able to accept the taste. Very light watery feel. Honestly I drink more of this than regular beer because calories and carbs. I can think of worse beers to drink.

I was out with friends and I'd already enjoyed my first beer by the time dinner arrived, so I ordered an Ultra for my second since several others at the table had ordered this. The best way I can describe this is beer flavored White Claw. I'm not sure why so many people drank 2 or 3 of these with dinner. I'd much rather sip a good beer than down multiple of these.

Unlike some other pretentious beer snobs I'll give this a fair rating. Light lagers are the backbone of the common beer drinker. Nothing beats the refreshing cold crisp taste of a light beer on a hot summer day golfing. When I'm not drinking “real” beers, my go to crusher is Mic Ultra.

Overpriced for a domestic light, light beer. Good for hot days though. This beer don’t look right in a manly man’s hand or butch lesbians. The bottles maybe but not the slim line cans.
