Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra and Miller Lite are titans of American light lagers. Which ones are a beacon of light and which aren't?
In this tasting, I discuss the aroma, flavors and drinking experience of each of these beers as well as cover a little history and background of the light beer phenomenon, the beers and the breweries behind them.

Miller Lite is the best of the Macro light beers; but if you are in Colorado then Coors Light tastes so much better there.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but i have to say as someone who has tasted beers from all around the world that Coors Light is the beer with the least amount of taste i have ever encountered. Even Coors Banquet is lack lustre. The one beer they had that was half way decent they stopped years ago, Coors Extra Gold. This is not just me but many people i have known in my 34yrs here in the US have said the same. All i can say to Coors is add more hopps to your beer to give it flavor.

I notice green apple when a beer is old. Are you drinking old beer?
@thebeeremptor
@thebeeremptor Жыл бұрын
No, these were all several months from their expiration dates. Acetaldehyde (green apple aroma/smell) is a product of fermentation that normally resolves itself if the fermentation goes smoothly (it gets reabsorbed by yeast later in the fermentation), or to some degree in certain yeast strains/styles, e.g. American light lager and biere de garde, where some amount is normal for the style. EDIT: If they had been old/expired, there would be an expectation of a cardboard/papery note to it, which none of these had.

I haven't looked over your videos. Here is an idea. Compare Miller Lite to Genessee Light. Compare the mid range cost beers to the cheaper. I really hate to buy cheap cheap beer unless I know how it compares. So many cheap beers now are hard to drink. Believe it, or not, Schmidt beer was my favorite beer in the 1980s. Now I cannot choke it down. It changed dramatically.

Genesee Light got covered in another video where I specifically talked about Genesee, mostly its history and background and several of their core beers, including that one. Found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpNdZ69kst7QZn0.html I guess my barometer is much different than where you're coming from. Everything in the Big Beer & macro value/premium/super premium categories are "cheap" to me, in terms of price, quality of ingredients/finished product/etc., and end up being far more similar than different. What they tend to have going for them is proliferation, accessibility (because of that and price), and consistency (some of the best QA in the biz even if subjectively the beer isn't great). Maybe I could have gotten into the nuts and bolts that Beer #1 is better than Beer #2 because it is infinitesimally better for 2 cent less per can. But that's not how I really see it. What they are and their context is more interesting to me, and seemingly to others if views, watch time and previous feedback is anything to go by. It's an interesting thought and I appreciate the comment. Thanks!

@@thebeeremptor I have tried many of the "better" beers that you consider high class. They really are not something I want to drink much of. I see you think that you are high class because of beer. Doubt that very much. I simply have never tried Genesee. I know there are cheap beers that cannot be choked down, and there are cheap beers that actually taste pretty good. We know what they are. No beer makes you high class. In fact beer snobs look kind of foolish. Let's just stick to if beer is drinkable, or not. Most very very cheap beer is very hard to drink.

@thebeeremptor
@thebeeremptor Жыл бұрын
I think in an absolutely pure blind test, it would be harder to tell. Just by nature of the style, the effect the producer is trying to achieve and the audience these beers are trying to capture, they are more similar than they are different. Doing a side-by-side with some experience lets you point out the differences but they tend to be subtle or much harder to articulate for an average drinker.

Is that why Australia has only won 44 World Beer Cup (since 1996) awards as opposed to the US's thousand (since 2012)? That the craft beer scene here has radically shifted beer and styles, not just domestically but globally? Sure, these beer suck, there is no question. I thought I made that kind of clear, but to base our entire brewing scene on these four examples is ignorance, willful or not.
