Miller High Life, also known as the Champagne of Beers, is a quintessentially classic, American-style lager. In 1903, Frederick Miller created Miller High Life because he believed that the good life, the High Life, should be accessible to everyone, not just the upper crust. To this day, Miller High Life continues to be faithfully brewed as a golden pilsner, utilizing light-stable galena hops from the Pacific Northwest and a select combination of malted barley.

Might be the best cheap US mass-market beer. For the price, pretty OK. It is actually almost just as good as some micro-pale lagers that local microbreweries are producing as nostalgia beers now now days but for half the price.

Great cheap beer American style. Too much corn but balanced with some acidity and carbonation. Not offensive. One of the better cheap American beers. And it has been around a long time, which states a lot.

Poured transparent honey amber color and was topped by a tall, nearly white dense head of foam.
Aroma lost on my Covid damaged nose.
The taste was not really strong enough for distinct flavors but the malts definitely carried the load, I found no noticeable hops influence. Still, for an AAL, it isn’t too bad.
The feel is great actually, active carbonation keeps it lively and refreshing.
OA, there, I gave it a fair shake. Maybe this will be the last one I drink, it’s certainly the last one I will buy.

This is a beautiful looking beer. It is well carbonated and keeps a frothy white head. These are its best qualities, and beyond then, it is truly an awful beer. It has no malt character and almost no bitterness (I would guess about 6 or 7 IBU's). The aftertaste is carbonated water. On the bright side, this is the beer that is going to help me cut down on drinking.

Tastes like maize and CO2. Basically a corn-flavored seltzer.

Back in my early 20’s whenever I would drink at home instead of going out to a house party or a dive bar, Miller High Life and Budweiser were my go to beers. The taste has a rich creaminess to it, at least that is what I get out of it. I also love the design of the bottles, it is a mixture of classy and cheesy that really appeals to me, however I do prefer the taste out of the can more. One of the most satisfying bottom shelf beers you’ll find, it’s Miller High Life “The Champagne of Beers!
