My dad has been drinking Miller Lite since I was a kid. Since I can remember I would sneek in sips when his head was turned, so I know what a quality fresh tasting Miller Lite Pilsner is. For the last three weeks I’ve purchased 3 different 36 super packs at the same Costco. In every can of beer I crack open and pour into a glass I get an overpowering off smell/flavor, which may be due to sulfur and or acetaldehyde (I can’t really tell the difference because my pallet has not been trained to distinguish) . So I called the 1800 number on the can.
To make a long story short after I spoke with the representative she offered me an $18 miller liter voucher, but I instead said, I was more interested in finding out what that off flavor was. So their analysis department is going to send a reciver package to collect the full can of Miller Lite so that it can be analyzed for quality control. Once the analysis has been completed I will be sent a copy of the quality control analysis report.
NDA = Non-Disclosure Agreement - basically, it’s a piece of paper they may have you sign that says “I can’t tell anyone the things I learned from them under some sort of penalty”.
E.g. - keep a secret or we’ll hit you for some punishment.
NDA,oh, gotcha.I was just curious to know if what I tasted was throughout the batch or just restricted to the 3-36 super packs I bought from costco. If that overpowering off smell/taste was throughout the whole batch kinda seems weird that they would let such a huge error slip through. Like if customers would not notice. In the 8 years that I illegally took sips from my dad’s beer can, and the 8 years that I’ve legally been drinking that Lite beer I have never tasted an off flavor. I wonder if there is more to come.
Or it could possibly be that your pallet has become more trained/adept than it used to be and you are just now noticing something that was there all along?
I know my tastes changed very much after I had been brewing for a while. Suddenly I found beers I used to really like were flawed in unacceptable ways.
touché…That may indeed be so… I found that to be true one time when drinking New Castle brown ale. I used to drink New Castle all through college and after going back to it most recently, It made me want to gag, just a little though. But that maybe due to associated memories with over indulging in a game of kings cup with that fine brown ale.
You’re screwed! Once you post what you know - they’re gonna whack you (and not in a good way) :o
Heck you might only make it half way through the post and before you can hit send…@%%@
