It is the best tasting domestic beer being made today. It beats anyting being made by Bud, Coors and others.

bought 6 pack at retail near home. I think it’s called Celebration 1855 Lager. $7 for a 6 pack of Miller, I had to investigate! This is really a not bad lager. I’m surprised, but the taste is pretty good, for what it is, an American Standard. Not as heavy as High Life, nor as strong of a corn flavor. Not pale though.....it’s a full bodied yellow lager, not overcarbonated, not tasteless, not bad.

This was a good Macro beer. Maybe the old fashioned label played a trick on my brain but I thought it tasted better than The regular Miller products. That isn’t really saying much though.

A pleasent surprise. Decent smooth flavor. Hint of extra hops. Worth a taste now and then.

Best brew Miller has produced since maybe 1855! Still one wonders what kind of beer Miller could produce if they were really serious about quality. Tastes clean and crisp for a macro similar to Coors.

Poured a fairly rich golden color with a short head and scant lacing. Whisper of hoppiness in the mild aroma. A little more body than the regular High Life, some malt on the sweet side with a light spicy hoppiness and clean finish. Not bad but disappointing for a 150th anniversary brew-I doubt anybody got arrested at this party.

Dark straw color with a diminishing white head. Grainy aromas that do tend toward the malty side. Mild floral hops backdrop. Malts of malt in the flavor. Not the thick and chewy malt, but a pale barley flavor and a touch of dextrose. I certainly wouldn’t have a problem drinking this while working on projects around the house on a weekend. This does seem to bring back memories of some premium beers from years ago. Enough body to feel substantial, but not to fizzy to feel light or watery.

Bottled. Pours a yellow color that’s darker then regular High Life, and has a normal head that dissapates in a couple of minutes. Laces the glass some as it gets drank. Smell is kinda malty and very slight hint of hops. Tastes ok, decent mouth feel, very slighty hopped. I tell ya, I think it’s a little better than Highlife, has a little more heaviness to it. It’s not bad, although the beer snobs on here are bashing it like an ugly red-headed step child. Would be good on a hot day, at a cook out. I would buy it now & then, although it’s not my favorite. I have dabbled in much better brews. Miller’s best attempt yet, definately beats the heck out of Bud.
