1. Miller Genuine Draft
This article is about Miller Genuine Draft, a product from the American beer company Miller. I purchased it from a convenience store along with other beers when buying in bulk. It has a volume of 500ml and an alcohol content of 4.7%.
When I first saw the packaging, the black background with the golden ‘M’ letter caught my eye. So, I initially expected a stout rather than a lager. However, it turned out to be a golden American pale lager.
2. Unique Information
Researching this product revealed some interesting facts.
Importer: Golden Blue International
Country of Origin: Despite being an American beer, it is stated to be from the Czech Republic.
Manufacturer: Pivovary Staropramen
This is due to customs issues, as I purchased it in Korea. Despite being called “genuine draft” and marketed as draft beer, it is actually filtered to remove yeast.
3. Miller
Miller is a very successful beer brand, ranking 2nd or 3rd in sales across the United States. Founded in 1855 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it is now a part of Molson Coors from Canada.
Miller continues to operate its brewery in Milwaukee, where it was originally founded. The Milwaukee Brewers, a Major League Baseball team, shares history with Miller (their former home stadium was named after the brewery).
4. Tasting Notes
Miller Genuine Draft has a clear golden color and looks appetizing. It has rich carbonation and foam. The aroma is a light malt scent, with almost no hop aroma.
Upon tasting, you can feel the carbonation and foam (which has good retention), along with a light barley and malt flavor. It has a mild, pleasant taste. The carbonation is present, but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. It’s a light and refreshing beer perfect for enjoyment.

6. Conclusion
In conclusion, Miller Genuine Draft is a light, mild beer with plenty of carbonation and foam, making it a great choice for summer. Its subtle flavor pairs well with food.
I didn’t upload a photo, but I enjoyed it with a hamburger, and it was a great match. This might be because both the hamburger and Miller Genuine Draft are American foods.
While researching, I found that Miller typically contains corn, but the ingredient list for this product did not include corn. It’s unclear if the recipe changes with different production locations.
