Back to back: PBR & Miller Lite

Being in a bar with nothing exciting on tap and "domestics" cheap, I thought I'd finally review the hipster nectar. Here's what I thought of PBR:
Looks clear and light golden in the shaker pint glass with no head retention or lacing whatsoever. There is some sweetness in the smell but that's about it; very characterless smell. Taste is of lightly sweetened, carbonated water with some malty feel in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is watery, with a medium finish. Drinkability score follows from the other categories.

Having had PBR, we proceeded to drink some Miller Lite: Poured from the Vortex bottle into a pint glass rinsed with PBR ;)
Looks clear light golden with a surprisingly big white head that settled into a tiny one, but didn't disappear entirely, and left some lacing on its way. This beer smells like underarms. Feels watery and carbonated. There's no taste to describe, except it's less sweet than PBR that I had right before this one. Finish is medium to dry. Goes down easy enough but what's the point of ingesting alcohol like this?
