Miller Genuine Draft
The Miller Brewing Company is an American beer brewing company owned by the United Kingdom-based SABMiller.
The appearance is that similar to that of a lager beer. This beer pours a very pale straw yellow color with nearly no head. It almost passes for golden, but I won't go that far. The feel is smooth with a good amount of carbonation. One bad side is that this beer is thin and watery.
The smell is of sweet cereal with a lot of corn and some skunk. The smell is not too strong but is the weakest point of the beer.
It tastes of hoppy sweetness and grain and has a mild bitterness with a dry finish. To be fair I can taste some malts in there as well. The taste isn't great but better than the smell.
Overall fairly middle of the road. No major attractors or detractors. Fairly bland, good on a hot summer day. This is a pretty good beer for what it is, would take a Michelob or Yeungling over it though. Best served from a bottle. Overall this is better than I thought it was going to be. It's very drinkable, but nothing special.
Thanks for reading please feel free to leave any comments that you may have. Until next, drink one for me.

Heineken
Heineken is a pale ale beer with 5% alchole by volume produced by the Dutch brewing company Heineken international. Heineken is also an import beer.
This beer is malty and sweet at first, somewhat shunky. A light amount of bitterness is present and this lingers through the aftertaste.
As with the taste a nice skunky smell is present, that I have always liked. I think it is because of the green bottle that this smell is present. Eventhough skunky it is very clean.
If you can get over the skunky aspect it is not that bad. These are somewhat muted and masked by notes of corn, grainy malts and grassy hops.
Overall Heineken is pretty refreshing though, not too heavy or overcarbonated so that was a good aspect. Obviously Heineken isn't really the best beer ever, but hey, it serves its purpose of letting you get drunk quickly. What it lacks in quality it makes up for in price sadly however.
This beer is best servered cold and in the bottle. Not the most complex beer, but a nice pale lager. Easy enough to drink with nothing off-putting as long as it's decently cold. I wouldn't turn it down if offered for free.
