Miller Chill - Chellada style lager

Style: Chellada style lager
Price: $48 for a 24 pack carton
Size: 330ml
Alc/Vol: 5.6%
Date: 16/12/2009
Reason for purchase: summer beer time!

Review: I recall a couple of years ago buying a 6 pack of this, and recent hot weather prompted me look into this interesting summer beer again.

Being American it is very mild, to say the least. You really do get the sense you're drinking soda water with this beer, which for some people might sound terrible. However if you're in the mood for something light, summery and refreshing, I think this beer can be a winner.

It's light flavour is matched with a slight limey tang, as is the chellada style. Think of it as a Sol or Corona with its lime wedge on display.

I would put this beer in similar light to Barefoot Radler (for the benefit of those who have tried that), and is definately a summer hit when you've had enough of the gin and tonic.

If you're a big malty, hoppy fan, you probably won't be impressed. As I said, it's not for everyone but I have enjoyed it this summer.

Rating: 7/10 -DF-
