Thank goodness for color changing beer label mountains!

A buddy of mines father swore to me that I could not tell which is which in a blind taste test. I could easily taste the difference, it leaves me with a horrible aftertaste everytime.

It's been shown that BMC folk who are die-hard fans of one brand can't tell the difference between the three in a blind taste-test. Have you actually done this or are you just boasting?

I wish I could pin it down enough to know what it is...so I made sure to never accidentally brew it...

As flavorless and bland as BMCs are, the "Light American Lager" category is actually one of the most difficult styles to brew. They are so light and low is extreme flavors that off-flavors can show their ugly heads. The styles we brew most likely cover up these BMC off-flavors (what I know exactly of which you speak)

You haven't seen Beer Wars have you? The do a blind taste test of BMC drinkers and none of them can tell their drink of choice apart from the others but beforehand they all insist that they only like the one brand and can tell the difference.

Well, I'm sure part of that has to do with the magic of editing - if I were to see it live with 10 customers in a row, I'd be sold. They're not going to show you the people that got it right.

That said, I'm not a fan of BMC beers but I can enjoy a High Life from time to time. I never buy 'em, but if somebody has them at their house, I will partake. Call it a beer seltzer. Not a Coors, a Lite, Bud, etc., I'll prefer a nice coffee instead. Just a matter of taste.

After brewing my own light lagers for a while I find that BMC tastes like flavored water. Just curious if anyone else reached that conclusion?
