A crisp, refreshing lager, light in body and texture with a smooth finish and no after taste.

The look of it : A finger of head that quickly goes away. Yellow golden color. Light carbonation. Nothing special about it.
The smell of it: Sweet grain and some corn
The taste of it: Taste like a newspaper.
So overall would I recommend it ? NO ! Wanna have a cheap beer, go get a Pabst !
Would i buy it again ? No

I rather like this stuff. For a mass-produced beer, I find that it has a unique characteristic taste which hits the spot sometimes. This is a notch above the rest of the pack. Its still just a plain old american adjunct lager, but its a good example of the style imo.

Ok, now i'm confused. Two old millwaters listed on here from two different breweries. Had to give them the same rating. I believe the one we drank in college was brewed by either Schlitz or Stroh's. I am not sure and it really doesn't matter.

Leftover from a party a couple of weekends ago. Served cold in a pint glass. Figured if I was going to drink it, might as well review it. Gave it 2.5 across the board last time.
Appearance - pale piss yellow color, with two fingers of fluffy white head that dissipate very quickly. Lots of bubbles and good clarity.
Smell - Some general light grain aroma, possibly some corn. Not anything else.
Taste - Thin with initially a touch of grain and some corn sweetness and cooked veggies to close. Not great but worse certainly exists. Nothing too weird going on with after flavors.
Mouthfeel - Thin, fizzy and otherwise non-descript.
Overall - Decidedly mediocre, however worse AAL's are certainly out there and this is enjoyable enough if you're thirsty enough or its hot enough outside.
