Miller High Life

Tried some from a pitcher at the Pirate's Adventure in Orlando. Keeping my streak alive of not paying for a beer I am positive I won't like. Fizzy yellow crap, and I would rather eat belly button lint than pay for something like this.

Golden. Flavor of hops. A little sweet when cold, but often finishes with a sour aftertaste. Not as thin as other beers in this class. Not as good as Grain Belt Premium, but better and less expensive than most American macros. Best in 24 returnable case.

Canned. Pale yellow with airy head. No aroma. Very light chemical soapy corn flavour. Nothing else. This one was real bad.

Did mine come skunked? oh wait, theres no way of telling cause thats how it always tastes!

Most of you know that one of my hobbies is beer. But what you probably didn't know is that another of my hobbies is industrial espionage. Well, it took a while, but I've finally secured the files which contain all of the Miller Brewing Company's recipes. The recipe for High Life is as follows: for 1000hl batch, take 990 hl water, add 9 hl corn syrup and boil two hours. Transfer from mash tun to fermenter via used catheters from Shady Pines Nursing Home. Ferment with yeast scraped from the fingernails of cadavers. Once fermentation complete, spike with 10 hl gasoline. Top up with paint thinner to taste.

I thought I'd revisit this beer that I previously rated in May 2000. I said it was bad then (original rating below), but then I worried maybe I was just being a noob beer snob, after all I've come around on some pale lagers, like Coors. So I got the 16oz can from the gas station. Turn out that was 14oz too much - technically 8, because that was how much I drank before pouring it out, but the last 6 were just to be sure, plus I really wanted a beer. But yea, sourish, grainy, weird, terribly unpalatable. Just like 20 years ago, I didn't finish it, and no change to the score. Compared to Miller Lite and MGD, this beers is a throw-away. It just plain tastes bad. My one and only tasting came in a restaurant in which this was nearly the only choice. I didn't finish it.
