Well for the last couple months we have looked at some serious beers. We have talked about Dubbels, Trippels, and Quadrupels. Beers that were deep, complex, full of flavor and generally high in both alcohol and body. Well, we are taking a break from that tonight and looking at Miller Chill and Bud Light Lime. Call it a bit of a pallete cleaning show.
News
A Japanesse brewer may soon have your brew. Sapporro Breweries is going to brew a pilot batch. about 100 bottles of beer, made from barley that is grown from seeds that spent five months on the international space station in 2006. The brewers say that they are really looking forward to seeing what the beer tastes like. Our guess, it that it will taste EXACTLY like normal beer. But hey, who knows, maybe space does strange things to barley and whoever drinks this will end up being 37 feet tall.
Miller Chill and Bud Light Lime
- Miller, based in Millwaukke Wisconsin, best known for Miller Lite and of course the ever popular Miller High Life.
- Anheuser-Busch (AB) on the other hand is best known for Bud Light and the ever popular Budweiser.
- So what about the beer. First up, Miller Chill. It weighs in at 4.10% ABV, and comes in a green bottle. It is billed as Light beer brewed with a hint of salt and lime. So, in other words, if you want to make this beer at home, grab a Miller Lite, through in a lime and a pound of salt.
- When I had this beer I couldn’t believe the salty taste. I really didn’t expect that from a beer, however, I guess it did say that on the label and all.
- Bud Light lime, which weighs in at 4.2% ABV, is a newer product. In fact, I just tried it tonight for the first time.
- The taste isn’t nearly as bad as Miller Chill. It is described as Light beer with Lime flavor, and that pretty much hits it on the head.
- This tastes a lot like a lazy mans Cornoa, the lime being pretty prevelant but not too over powering. I can see this being a decent beer on a hot afternoon, although you can’t really drink more than a couple.
Next Week
Alright, next week we will be back to our good beer, starting our brown ale series. Not really sure what beer we will start with, but it will be a brown ale.
