let those fruity micro lovers have their Johnny-Come-Lately sludge beer. A real man drinks the High Life. Where in the world is the delivery guy?

Part of a six can blind pale lager tasting with Blatz, Miller High Life, Pabst, Hamms and Budweiser. Boy I’ve always hated Miller beer, but was that more a product of their lousy advertising campaigns or me just hating the big guy? So trying this one blind was an excellent way to take the bias out of the beer I affectionately call either piss water or colored water. Speaking off piss, that’s what the stuff in my glass looks like with a thin foamy head. Aroma smells of must, piss, corn and bad malt. Taste of corn, aluminum can (I had it in a glass) and bad malt. Mega astringent, perhaps the worst beer I have ever had. Of course I wrote the review after I knew what the beer was but the comments were all written down before I took another stab at Miller.

Yup, pretty much terrible. Although I’ve moved on to greener pastures, this reminds me of the good old days when $20 in your pocket would mean a great night for you and your friends. Of all the budget beers, I’d say this would be the best - although I’d say I can drink roughly 1,000 before getting drunk.

Bottle. I can tolerate this beer, if there is nothing else available. Reminds me of the poor college days.

24oz can. Pours clearish pale yellow with a small, fizzy white head, some lace. Smells of skunky malts and corn, grainy. Tastes grainy and malty with a touch of hops toward the finish. Thin body, vibrant carbonation.

This, in a tie with Strohs, is my favorite American mass produced beer and I give it the highest rating i’m willing to give this type of beer, 8 out of 10. In my opinion there are three categories of this kind of product; the creamy ones (MIller), the ones with a hint of hops (Pabst, Strohs, Schlitz), and the no taste ones (Anheuser Busch). This is definately of the creamy variety, very carbonated with yeast hints. There is a pleasant hop hint in the aftertaste, almost like a German Pisner, better the colder you can get it. Sure, this isn’t Dukenheimer Stout, it doesn’t pretend to be, but judge it for what it is, a good refreshing drink to enjoy at a party in the summer where you know you’ll be having at least a 12 pack. By the way, the commercials are great!
