COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Miller High Life, the "champagne of beers," dates to 1903. Miller High Life is a classic American-style lager recognized for its consistently crisp, smooth taste and iconic clear-glass bottle. Miller High Life embraces its rich heritage and is known by its drinkers as an authentic, unpretentious beer. As the best beer value in America, we encourage beer drinkers to "Take Back the High Life."

The beer does have some cool commercials, but this is pretty light on the taste and palate.

Why the low rating? I drank the crap out of this when I was younger. Crisp, piss yellow, no head. smells of cardboard and pine sol. Taste is pretty crisp and light. sort of a lime zest taste with minor skunkiness. $2.50 a pint at my local bar. tasty enough, low alcohol.

Watery but decent taste...hard to smell in bottle...no hops..tastes most like wet cardboard...in the best possible way though

Clear bottle. Clear pale gold with a white foamy head. Tastes faintly like malt and water. Smells dry and grainy aroma, faintly like champagne. Light body and low carbonation. Not much there. Best when consumed in a pilsner glass with a puppy on your lap.

Drank a can of this crap on the disc golf course today because someone offered and free beer is free beer. It tasted as terrible as I remember from previous drinking of the "champagne of beers".

Ahh the High Life, breakfast of champions. This beer is brewed old style and is all about corn, it’s cheap but not light feeling like the usual lagers. Sometimes it’s good to be corny; who could forget the adds with the big jolly fellow who repossesses the High Life from High-Hat types who were enjoying it improperly?...then he got married to the tranny on ’It’s Always Sunny’...Livin the High Life. It smells of corn meal and raw dough and is nice and frothy when poured aggressively or left in your car too long. The color of a straw scarecrow. The clear bottle makes it extra skunky, while the canned version is different, both are metallic. Great logo featuring the girl on the moon, which has evolved over time. Other flavors remind me of eating a bran cereal of health bar of some sort. In spite of an initial bite, it is one of the smoothest beers around and can be taken down in one gulp Ziggy-socky style. I was going to rate it a perfect 5 on April 1st, but I don’t want to get kicked off the site. Fun fact: 50% of all beer consumed by this rater from 06-09 was the High Life.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2013 I tried this beer for the first time when my coworker was too cheap to buy real beer. It tastes like midget piss. I’d have to rate this beer as being just as much fun as getting diagnosed with a deadly rare form of testicular cancer... just horrible.

Descent for an American Ale but weak in comparison to international brews. Easy going down but it leaves a chemical like taste on the tongue afterwards.

typical american macro grass cutting beer. Must drink cold. Better than most american macros.

Once upon a time, this was the beer I drank religiously. This is the first time I have drank it with a critical palate. This beer probably got a bit of a nostalgic bump. Pours pale with almost no head. It smells of chemicals. Its only redeeming quality is that is lively carbonation masks its nondescript chemical flavoring. If they bring back to camouflage tall boys I will come back and bump this score up by .1. Bottle - Kroger - Atlanta, GA
