Review of Milwaukee's Best Light

Posted By Ken Friday, 02 February 2007 17:05

I'm sure Zach is going to love this when he sees it on the site for the first time.  Yes, it's cheap and yes it isn't a widely popular drink, but I appreciate the smooth flavor and how it is "Brewed for a Man's Taste".  And since I love this stuff so much, I couldn't pass up writing about it!

Taste: A-  This rating will cause some responses, I'm sure.  Milwaukee's Best Light is, I will admit, a bit of a watered-down taste.  The good side of this is that since it is not overly watered down, you get a smooth taste that is very drinkable.  My only problem with beers like these are that I will slam more than I've realized because they go down so easy.  Overall, the taste is decent and could be much worse.

Packaging: A  Packaging is pretty good on this.  It's a little busy if you really pay attention to everything going on on the can.  The Best Light is in a can with a mostly blue background depicting mountains, with white near the bottom to represent snow.  A symbol appears on the can that say "Finest Quality Ingredients" in a circle, then "Established 1895" across its middle.  Best Light is also brewed by Miller, whose logo appears on the can near the bottom.

Value: A  Can't cry on value.  I can pick up a 12 pack of this stuff for around $6.00.  At an average of 50 cents a can, that is better than trying to buy soda!  Plus this stuff will get you drunk!

Drunkeness: C  This stuff is pretty good if you want to be able to drink for awhile before getting buzzed.  I am not sure why, but this is one of the few beers I can drink free style for quite a bit before I start feeling it.  If you are looking for a great drink to have to unwind a bit but not feel much, I recommend this one.  Want to get drunk, I suggest going elsewhere.

Overall: B+    Overall I can really appreciate this beer and its taste.  The only downfall with Best Light is that you cannot get drunk quick with this stuff.  But, I still give it a pretty high overall rating because of the taste and the very inexpensive price.  It's a good one to try out sometime.
