I think we can nickname it Miller, because it's Genuine Daft.

What is that "Miller" referring to? 

 
"Miller Genuine Draft" is a kind of horse urine marketed as beer.

Glad we have here, where I live, something called "Reinheitsgebot"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot] and also a history
of quality beer, of course. :-)

I am not sure whether it is off topic or on topic, since it is about
advantages of not following standards very strictly.
According to my understanding, beers that *do not* follow
"Reinheitsgebot" today are very popular in Germany. I don't know
whether they are more popular than those that do follow it, or a little
less popular, but at very least they are close.
All those Weißbier of the Souths and Berliner Weisse of the North...
And that's even before we consider raising popularity of
foreign styles, esp. of IPA and stouts. IPA would be almost legal
by strict Reinheitsgebot, but only almost. Stouts can be in theory
produced in strict Reinheitsgebot manner, but I don't believe
that it is done by any modern German manufacturer.

On the other hand, mass market American lagers probably follow
"Reinheitsgebot" rather closely, Bud a little less so, Miller a little
more so. Which still does not make them decent drinks in the eyes of
pundits and even of non-pundit like myself.
