Pours clear, lasting foam. Smells like grains and a surprisingly clean finish for a macro. Good cheap beer for a Sunday bbq or to refresh yourself after a hot summer day cleaning the backyard. Not as watery as other "popular" brands. Very good deal for such a low price.
The official beer of stoners that only drink “high” life
For what this beer is trying to do (I.E be a beer that tastes like beer) it works incredibly well. It's a straightforward lager that refreshes and goes down easy with practically any food you can think of. Don't let the snobs here fool you. Your beer doesn't have to taste complex or carry some imaginary credibility to be enjoyed. As long as it tastes alrite, I'm alrite.🍺 Stay safe y'all.
473ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Faint aroma of grainy malt and corn. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, corn and grass in a crisp, clean finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Take Back the High Life? I wonder if they mean you need to get "High" in order to enjoy this?
ReRefreshing
frebbbbsumeRefreshing this is definitely a summer beer with added Sweet tarde in the backs
Bottle beats can. A strange sweetness far in the back. Great value. Clean and refreshing.
No frills perfect after work beer. Can’t beat the price. Many people don’t care for it but for me no headaches and I love the taste.
Can, pours a piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma is nonexistent, with cheap adjuncts. Flavour is at least clean, with cheap adjuncts, straw and corn. Lame stuff.
Miller version of the coors banquet beer. Rather have the original
Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Almost no aroma. Sweet and lightly grainy lager flavor. Clean and crisp mouthfeel. Classic American beer for the first beer of the decade. Happy New Year!
People can trash this beer all they want, but for what it is, I absolutely love it. It's a classic American blue-collar lager and it's a crisp refreshing beer. Decent sweetness, light bitterness, decent body, nice pale golden color. I've gotta say it's probably my favorite macro brew.
Not everyone enjoys Coco or grapefruit or God knows what else brewed into their beer. As far as cheap American beers go this is one of the better offerings.
It's tasty cold and is affordable. Goes down smooth and tastes fine with food. We aren't from your country so some of your beers taste pretty piss poor to us as well. Just throwing that out there. My beer doesn't need to feel like I just ate an entire meal after drinking one.
This beer is great cold after mowing the lawn or a hard day at work. This is naturally a light beer anything lighter and you might float away.
[An attractive 12oz glass bottle, bought at Albertson's, Fullerton, CA.] A bright straw coloured pour with a tight white head; disgusting aroma - like a cat being sick in a bowl of cornflakes; sweet, watery and tasteless in the mouth. Presumably drinkable when chilled to within an inch of its life - but otherwise not.
Some things should have been left alone! Down right gross, terrible tasting beer that was once my go to after work beer. SUCKS
Pale yellow with heavy fizz. Has a slightly different American lager taste than other mass market lagers. Corn tase with bitter aftertaste. Just a little off.
I drank this beer when I was 18, years later, I got headaches from Budweiser, and I went back to Miller, no problems, in fact I buy it for my kegerator now!!
Lager with no frills. Made for times when "just a beer" is needed or appropriate.
Very nice beer! This is the kind of beer that is a good beer to drink, when you want to drink a good beer. I reccomend drinking this beer, highly!🍺
Miller High Life is probably the best of the "cheap American beer" category. People look down on them because, admittedly, there are tons of craft beers that are objectively better. That being said, there is no denying a nice, crisp, easy drinking macro beer is very enjoyable to most people. Miller High Life is inoffensive, clean, and has an actual flavor to it. It won't win any awards for bold flavor, but it is a clear highlight in the category in which it resides. Easily my favorite macro beer.
My favorite mass produced beer, slightly sweet, non offensive, well balanced. I could drink this all day.
Miller High Life is not a small batch 'craft beer', and doesn't pretend to be. It's a mass produced beer made for, well, 'the masses'. It has a slightly sweet grainy flavor, with a touch of hops, and just a hint of bitter on the end. For me, it's refreshing on a hot day, and goes great with pizza, tacos and popcorn. It's also easier on the wallet.
A couple of reviewers mentioned it tasted like piss. I'll have to take their word for it, since I've never tasted piss.
A good balance of malty and watery. Visited the brewery in Milwaukee. Better than miller lite.
See, the thing that most people fail to consider, is the price, and the history. Does High life stack up to some of the IPAs around now? Of course not. The recipe for high life was invented before our great grandparents were even born. And on top of that, at 1 dollar for a 24OZ can, it's pretty much the best in it's class. There is no other beer *in this price range* that can compare whatsoever. And even a little over as well. No, this beer will not knock your socks off, but typically the brews that do are 4-5 bucks a pop. Is high life the champagne of ALL beers? Of course not! Is it the champagne of beers (in it's class)? Absolutely.
In a world of hipster IPA's, this beer is a refreshing, easy drinking, not bitter American Lager... simple. Sometimes it's just fine to sit down and enjoy the mellow, smooth, unpretentious lighter flavor of Miller High Life. If it was bad like many of the reviewers here have said, I very much doubt it would have stayed in production since 1903. Enjoy it for it's own tradition and don't go at it like it's failing to be one of the over-hopped micro-brews of the week. Some of us just don't pretend.
Tastes like ‘beer’ in the same way hotel paintings look like ‘art’; it’s what it says it is, without being anything groundbreaking or special
Clear pale gold with thin foamy white head
Aroma is mild grain
Flava is light malt grain
Feels light with lively fizz
Finishes mildly bitter
Pale golden with a white head - Hints of malts in the aroma - Malt body with hardly any bitterness - Thin malt finish - This was boring
Champagne of beers, well not quite. However it was a nice thirst quencher more similar to Mexican lager beers than the average Miller or Bud... and that is a good thing indeed.
Malt, very slight hops, grass. Very drinkable and refreshing. Seems like a huge bargain when similar Mexican beers that all taste the same are now over $1 per bottle. My go to on a hot day.
For $8 for a 12 pack this cant be beat. It looks,smells and taste great.
