High Life: I’ve said it here before; High Life in those tapered bottles can be about the easiest drinking beer around. Today, I’ve had it in a can, and when it’s cold, it gives PBR a solid run for its money. A macro-beer without the adjunct after burn (unlike its brother MGD), well worth the two bucks at the train barn.

I bit light, refreshingly clean , with a lot of corn-like sweetness. Pretty tasty when nice and cold straight out of the fridge.

I still prefer MGD to this though, I think it has a bit more going for it.

High Life is an American icon.

Appearance: Medium gold in color with a prominent soap lather white head that fades fairly quickly, decent broken lace.

Aroma: Slightly spicy, herbal aroma with a mild metallic quality.

Taste: Flavor opens with a hint of light malt sweetness, this soon turns slightly tart. Metallic hop bitterness dominates the latter part of the taste and lingers on well past the dry finish.

Mouth feel: Abundant carbonation adds a slight sting, otherwise a decently full body.

Drinkability/notes: Perhaps the best of the cheap nationals and far better than Natural Light. This was the first beer I ever tried and was my Dad's favorite.

Well what can I say....I actually drank this stuff this evening. What is even more scary is that I didn't find it that bad.
To be honest, I have probably drank more of this in my life than any other single beer. The underage years were awash in this stuff. So, I guess there is some nostalgia here.

For a macro, it actually has some flavor. Herbal hops with a thin malt body....but at least there is SOME body. Oh yeah...plenty of adjuncts too.

It doesn't have to much going for, but it also doesn't have too much going against it...for beers of this sort, that is a huge plus.
I spent too much time discussing this beer. A pretty acceptable macro, and that's it.

Miller Low Life as I call it, but then again it was very crisp, clean finish and consistently is. So for that, combined w/ the low life price it's actually not that bad. Very freshing, and that makes for the perfect beer to buy for your friends at the BBQ party in the summer...as long as your friends are not fellow beer advocates...

first of all it pours the best head of any american mass produced lager and it sticks the whole way down...it has body, character and aroma. an aquired taste...but those older and wiser than I have converted me to the High Life. i'm hooked. $13 a 30pack here in the northland makes it the absolute biggest bang for your beer buck too. an iced tea characteristic makes it oh-so poundable in the summer time too. some people hate it, others love it. decide for yourself.

I tell you what..for a macro brewed lager this is a pretty tasty beer...it really is...in fact out of a can I like it better than MGD (which is another pretty good macro lager)..I've always favored malty sweet beers (I love Bocks, dopples, and Octoberfests)...and for a basic American lager this is pretty good..it's priced right too....if you put a gun to my head and said spend $12 on a case of beer this would be my call...(remember the price restrictions..I picked up a case of this...and a case of 4 different micro six packs...The Miller came to $11...the grand total to close to $50...you can do the math there..)

I feel that I was perhaps swayed by their amazingly wonderful High Life adds, but I find myself more often than not grabbing a 12 pack O'High Life for $5.99. Better than most of its competition, meaning that it actually tastes good. Goes surprisingly well with Chinese food. Go figure. Anyway, It is an easy to drink fun beer that can be your dirty little secret. After all, it is the Champagne of beers, right?

Horse piss in a bottle. But it's cheap! Reminds me of boxed cereal, on the nose. Grain/wheat flavors on the palate, however below-average to poor in this department. I'm astonished that some people feel this is a quality beer! Would much rather sit back with a quality hefeweizen, even if it's three times as expensive.

Latley this is the beer that I have been stocking my beer fridge with.
This is way better than the top advertised American beers and much more affordable.
This is what I drink to fill in the spaces between my home breweed beer.
At 13.49 a 30 pack it's a great beer to fill the fridge with.

Always strikes me as sweet and grainy. At least they aren't afraid to make a beer that tastes like beer.
