Beer-a-Day #209

Well, this concludes my two-week (or so) delve into the world of macro-brewed lagers. This seems like an appropriate way to finish.

Commonly known as “The Beast,” Milwaukee’s Best is a bargain brand from MillerCoors. However, it is very hard to find on  the MillerCoors website and it doesn’t rate it’s own branded website (although Milwaukee’s Best Light is so honored). There’s also the disconnect of the “Established 1895″ on the can and the “Introduced in 1984″ on the website.

I can honestly say I’ve never had this beer. Even in our youth we never felt so desparate to have this. I guess we were spoiled.

Extremely pale with a white head. The head drops quickly and leaves no lacing on the glass. A bit floral with an acrid aroma, not unlike burnt plastic. It’s flat and nearly–but not near enough–flavorless. It’s not as bad as I’d feared, but it’s still pretty bad.
