A 2024 ranking from Taste of Home gave Old Milwaukee a solid review, slotting it in at #7 among 28 mass-market beers. While that reviewer said it "smells good, tastes good, is good," the consensus isn't the same over on Beer Advocate, where some call it "drinkable" at best and "abysmal swill" at worst.

Though low-alcohol beers are generally lower in flavor than full-bodied ones, Sharp's is disliked for being even less flavorful than its other low-alcohol competitors. The beverage premiered in 1989, with Miller boasting its "patented Ever-Cool brewing process" to achieve a beer taste with a minimal ABV.

Budweiser Select 55 is a 55-calorie alternative to Budweiser's heavier Select original, and brewed with a caramel taste. Anheuser-Busch has been instrumental in popularizing lagers amongst American consumers for decades, after the beer style was first introduced to the U.S. thanks to German immigrants in the mid-19th century. One Beer Advocate reviewer summed this offering up thusly: "It's thin, flavorless, and odd smelling."
