Miller Chill, Don't judge me

Here's one of those beers I would never buy on my own, but, a 6 pack of unknown origin has been sitting in my fridge for about a week, so I figured I'd give it a shot. In a clear bottle, this beer is a very light, gold color... big surprise there. I had had Bud Light Lime in the past and, considering the nature of the corporate beer world and their aversion to risk-taking, expected they would taste quite similiar and equally uninteresting. My expectations proved correct. Its very drinkable, however, mostly due to its almost entire lack of taste and high carbonation giving it a crispiness. The little taste that is present is dominated by lime and slightly bitter. Behind the lime is the typically weak Miller Light taste which has never appealed to me. Although of no interest to me, there may be a market segment attracted by the beers claim of having only 100 calories per bottle, even still, there's tasteless beers with less. All in all, its not an awful beer, but considering what else exists in the category of good summer beers, a seasonal craft beer or a corona with lime gets my vote every time.
