Miller Extra Light

Tap to rate

Miller Extra Light is the brewery's low-alcohol lager at 2.8 percent. It was sold as Miller64 until 2024, when the name changed to put the modest strength on the label instead of the number; the beer itself stayed the same. It pours fizzy straw yellow with a thin white head. The nose is faint, with sweet grain, a little corn and a hint of lemon. Plain cereal and corn carry the palate, hop character is barely present, and the high carbonation leaves a crisp, very light finish.
