This beer is not about taste. It is all about calories. Best beer you can find at 64 calories
Corn, bread, and yeast. Tastes a little bit like MGD. This has a foamier head than Beck’s Premier Light 64, more taste, more preferable flavor too.
Pale and pasty. Some hops. Little bitterness actually but it tastes like stale cardboard.
I have started to rather like drinking low alcohol beers for a lot of reasons so I figured I’d finally give this stuff a try after scrolling past it a thousand times. It’s OK. It tastes a lot more like regular beer than most NA’s and is low calories and low in alcohol which is something I appreciate as someone who likes to drink a ton of beer but doesn’t necessarily want to get fat and wasted. This is clear and yellow w/ a small head of foam, indistinguishable from any of a million lagers both good and bad. Surprisingly, this tastes more along the lines of a European pale lager than it does, say, Miller Lite. There is a bit of herbal hops in the nose along w/ some grainy malt and it actually even smells somewhat Pilsener-ish if you can believe that. Taste is a bit watery as you’d expect but overall light w/ crisp carbonation and very easy drinking. There’s a hint of fresh ground malt in there as well as a whisper of bitterness in the finish. This is a surprisingly solid beer. I mean, I wasn’t expecting much aside from hopefully a beer devoid of flavor flaws, but this well exceeds them. I think a lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction to the idea of this kind of beer and don’t take the time to evaluate them seriously. This is hardly world class but it’s not half bad, really.
I used to sneak six-packs of this into the base bowling alley in a backpack. It is lightly sweet and achieves the MGD finish. It takes the whole six pack to achieve much of a buzz and then the carbonation is making the GI tract uncomfortable. A fair accompaniment to cheap pepperoni-jalapeno pizza.
"a freebie i didn’t pass upbut maybe should have. not wretchedly foul as some past MGDs though, so not a total toilet pour (a step below drain pour). ice cold, it’s drinkable, but if it sits for a few...not so much. light corn, not skunky. that is all."
Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass.
Aroma- basically a hint of colored water
Appearance - A very pale yellow color with a white head
Taste - Almost no flavor, in fact I am hard pressed to identify what I am tasting maybe some hops?
Palate - light bodied with a lot of carbonation
Overall - not good, but if you bought this you probably are buying it for the 64 calories; therefore a robust beer flavor is not what you are after.

Poured from can into a pint glass
Appearance – Pours a medium straw colored brew with a two finger pure white head. The head has big carbonation bubblers that pop over about a two minute time period to actually leave a moderate level of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is pretty much non-existent. I maybe pick up a tiny bit of a corny and grainy smell as was as a bit of paper, but overall it is very light.
Taste – Initially it tastes almost exactly like water. There is a tiny bit of a grainy taste up front. As the flavor advances it goes way down hill from there. A paper and metallic flavor mixed with a bit of bitterness comes to the tongue. The paper grows quite strong and mixes with an astringent and horribly papery taste to leave one quite unpleasant taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body while quite thin,but is not thin enough to hide all the very off flavors of the brew, with a carbonation level that is actually more average. This brew should have been as light and highly carbonated as possible, so nothing would get a chance to be sensed by the tongue.
Overall – Well, it looked OK. Unless you just want to look at it, this beer is one to definitely avoid, as its taste was pretty atrocious.
12oz can of Miller 64. Drunk sitting on the shore of Lake Erie, near Dunkirk, watching the boats go by and accompanied by a slice of pizza. As for the beer, there’s nothing worth saying - it’s the right colour, but otherwise it might as well be water.
Het ruikt nog lichtelijk naar bier en het ziet eruit als bier, maar het smaak absoluut niet naar bier. Vreemde smaak, ik vond het afschuwelijk
Reminded me of a 9th grade science experiment as we attempted to make beer.
Other than the carbonation the liquids were very similar.
both cleaned the stains in the drain pretty well so not a total lost
Canned as Miller 64, the "64 Calorie Light Beer." Nose a little dusty, a little corny, but practically nonexistent. Pours very pale, clear golden with a short and fizzy soapy white head. Taste is barely flavored, and no that’s not "barley flavored," fizzy with a touch of grainy huskiness and booze, really not crisp at all, full body without refreshment. This is closer to vodka than any light beer distillate I can remember, just beyond bland, but with ever-present and slightly irrational fear of a bad hangover.
One of the worst beers I’ve ever had. If you want a beer with zero flavor then I recommend. I feel like I would need 10 to even catch a Buzz.
Bottle. Just had this one after a Miller High Life Light and can honestly say I could not tell the difference. So, I’m going to copy and paste. Light golden color with an actually pretty decent head. Aroma, water a tad of grains. Taste water, a tad of grains. Is this beer?
No aroma. Golden and clear with little head. Very little taste and quite watery
Kind of embarrassed I’ve had this, but I have. Very watered down without much flavor of anything in it.
Pours a bright clear pale gold with a so-so white head. Minor lacing. Grassy aroma. Taste is sweet pale malt and corn grits, then nothing. Well balanced, but watery. Taste is very brief with some dryness in the throat after the swallow. Refreshing, I suppose, but so is water.
As I’m about to review this, I’m already thinking of that damn song. Sucks to be me, let’s get this over with so I can move on.
I’ve had this more than enough times in my life in a pint glass and a pilsener, there isn’t much difference.
The appearance was a super light watery looking yellow color. Fast rising bubbles appeared into the quickly dissolving head. There was no lacing.
The smell was cooked corn if that.
The taste didn’t really have anything. It had a super watery finish.
On the palate, it was more than light, this thing defined it.
Overall, well, its a Light Lager. Miller did what they wanted to do, produce a low calorie water with light "beer-like" qualities about it.
Aroma is...Taste is... Overall, there is hardly anything to this beer. Cutting calories sure, but not much else. Barely resembles an MGD (which I do enjoy).
I think it has been rebranded, and I tend to like the new slightly retro branding on the cans. Flavorless beer, drink enough and you’ll get drunk and not consume as many calories as normal...or so the adverts go... who knows.
My mother-in-law left one of these in my fridge, so I thought I’d taste a few ounces before throwing it out. It looks like watered-down apple juice and it is virtually headless. It has a bit of carbonation up front, but it turns watery toward the finish, and it’s incredibly thin -- similar to carbonated water. Flavor-wise, it really doesn’t have much to offer. There are weak notes of corn, syrup/sugar and tobacco, but they’re faint (probably a good thing). Bitterness is barely discernible. After my fourth sip, I had had enough, and it was beginning to leave a bad taste in my mouth. What a lifeless and vapid beer.
Sucks. You would be better off with water rather than this... I wouldn’t even call it beer... "dirty water". Still does what it promises though, having a low calorie profile and whatever, so that’s why I give it a higher score.
This will receive ones across the board. The only reason it get a higher score overall is due to the cheap price and only having 64 calories.
12oz. can poured into a Samuel Adams glass
Appearance: Pours a 1 finger white head that disappears quickly. yellowish clear. hardly any color
Smell: almost nothing maybe a bit of corn.
Taste: Nothing much some very slight corn sweetness, good bit of carbonation, very clean finish like a club soda. Nothing bad because there really isn’t anything there, better than cheaper full beers.
Mouthfeel: very light and clean like club soda. It feels perfect.
Overall: Nothing bad about this beer it just taste like a slightly sweet club soda. No off flavors (because there really is no flavors). If you’re out of water and you need to hydrate its that next best thing. If you want to taste anything (good or bad) try something else
Backlog. Pours pale yellow - very light. Nose and taste is basically light barley water with touch of metal. Almost nothing. Ultra thin bodied. Bland.
Bottle: The lightest of all the colors... Aromas... & Flavors. To be honest, Miller 64 is better than many other macro produced "lagers" out there currently. Why? Well because it really doesn’t have much taste or smell at all, & no taste is better than shit taste. Light grain, a touch of metallic notes & dirty hop bitterness in the finish. Sharp mouth feel. Drinks like an Aquafina. Only 64 calories? Score!
Bottle poured the lightest golden color I have ever seen with a covering of white head that fizzled right off. Aroma has...... well...... basically nothing except a bit of metal and ultra light malts that takes some incredible sniffing to even seek out. Mouth feel is light and the carbonation nice and strong. Flavor again has a slight hint of sweet malt and a teeny tiny hit of side tongue bitterness. I have been liking a couple of miller lite’s recently so I thought this might be close. but..... this only has the fact it is carbonated going for it.
355ml (I think) bottle. Clear, clear yellow colour, foamy head that disappeared right away. Basically, no aroma, corn and water. Almost no taste, slight chemical aftertaste. Like as less bitter Perrier. Overall, I’ve had N/A beer that had more flavour. I can’t even say it sucks because it was literally nothing.
Bottle.
A- Grains, water, hay, cereal.
A- Golden color, hazy liquid, minimal head.
T- Grains, water.
P- Light body, thing texture, average carbonation, watery finish.
O- It’s not worth saving calories by having to drink this. It’s an even more watered down lager.
Corn and rice. Don’t really need much more than that. THIS IS ...well, kinda shit, but... hey... fuck...lost my train of thought.
