Let’s start by asking a reasonable question: Why do we need 4 light beers from the same mega-brewer? That would be Miller Lite, MGD Light, MGD 64 and Miller High Life Light, the subject of this post. It seems a bit ridiculous, and those are just the Miller products from MillerCoors. Anyway, Miller High Life Light is basically a watered down High Life, and some may argue that High Life is itself pretty watery. None the less, I would be remiss if I were not to give a fair and complete review of the product. First off, it should be enjoyed straight from the bottle. To pour it is a waste and may lead to a disappointing experience. High Life Light is very pale gold and possesses lively carbonation. It’s texture is light and there is some body to it. Expect a grainy taste and light hop dryness, and a grainy finish as well. As far as light beers go, this one is average. A good beer to accompany a White Sox game on the garage radio on a warm summer evening, and have 3 or 4 without thinking twice. Their simplicity allow them to be consumed quickly and without much thought, but I think that is the point the brewer has in mind. 53/100 for light beers.
