Being a lover of light beers, you’d think I’d love Grain Belt. I usually will drink it just fine if it’s the only light beer available, but I’ve found it has a weird odor that I don’t enjoy when drinking. In fact, on more than one occasion when drinking it out of a glass, I’ve been known to plug my nose while taking a swig. I prefer it in a bottle.

Seeing as how aroma plays such a large role in beer enjoyment, they should sell various scented beer sprays. Don’t enjoy the smell of Grainbelt, but have a whole 12 pack in your fridge? Use Miller Lite Beer Spray!
