The aroma is pineapple, mango, and orange with some grassy notes thrown in to make it beery. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is dominated by the pineapple flavours with hints of other citrus fruits such as orange and passion fruit in the mix. A very flavourful beer, but more of what I associate with Australian and New Zealand hops and not what I associate with the American west coast (I love grapefruity west coast IPAs) |

Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 355ml bottle <br> 4.0% ABV <br> October 15, 2011 <br> I tried this beer on October 15, 2011 at a friend's house. The beer poured a translucent light gold colour with a huge genourous short-lived white head. The aroma was very citrusy mixed with hints of sewage. The mouthfeel was watery with mild carbonation (despite the apparent effervescence in the glass). The flavour was weak lime, old grains, and metal. Not enjoyable, and nothing I would ever buy for myself! |

1568 | Miller Genuine Draft | United States | Pale Lager | 1.7
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3 January 1, 1991<br> Boo Sports Bar, The (Guelph, Ontario, Canada – University of Guelph, University Centre) <br> 355ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> $2.45<br> This was my original favourite American beer (so far out of the limited swill I have tried). I tried it a few times here in Canada (brewed by Molson under license) and was pleasantly surprised. After moving to Memphis Tennessee, I tried it there, and was even more pleasantly surprised, an American brewed beverage that was better than it's Canadian brewed counterpart (unlike Budwesier, Coors, Coors Light, and Miller High Life). For a long time, this was the one American beer I came back to from time to time. The aroma is pleasant with some slight malty tones. The colour is a light golden colour similar to straw. The taste is slightly malty with some grassy undertones. It is very crisp on the tongue with some mild carbonation. A nice refreshing beer for an American macrobrew.<br> <br> March 11, 2015 <br> Another beer being revisted on Cheapie Wednesday. The beer pours a translucent medium gold colour with a short-lived snow white bubbly head. The aroma is grainy malts, vomit, and cooked vegetables. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is not that good and comparable to Canadian stock ales with milky cereal notes and metallic finishes. |

1569 | Miller High Life | United States | Pale Lager | 1.7
Aroma: 3 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 3 Brewed in Canada by the Molson Breweries Limited<br> September 15, 1987<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.0% ABV<br> $0.00<br> There is not a lot to say about this beer that is good, not for me anyway. The beer is a nice light gold colour that is reminiscent of American lagers. There is no discernable smell to speak of nor is there any discernable taste. The mouthfeel is very watery with hints of carbonation. Overall this is not a beer that I would try again, nor is it a beer that I would recommend to others.. It gets a 3 overall simply because they had the Bottom Bottle Opener at one time. Unfortunately the case we got contained bottles that had obviously been used many times before because the glass around the opener had been well chipped/worn away meaning that we needed the bottle opener anyway. |

The aroma is all grains. No yeast. No hops. The mouthfeel is weak bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is weak grains with again, no hoppy notes, and no yeasty flavours. Diluted grainy water would be an apt description for this beer. |

1571 | Milwaukee's Best | United States | Pale Lager | 1.0
Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 2 February 1, 1994<br> P & H Café (Memphis, Tennessee, USA)<br> Shared Pitcher of Draught<br> 4.60% ABV<br> $2.00<br> There is not a lot to say about this beer that is good, not for me anyway. The beer is a very very light gold colour that is reminiscent of American lagers. There is no discernable smell to speak of nor is there any discernable taste. The mouthfeel is very watery with few hints of any carbonation. Overall this is not a beer that I would try again, nor is it a beer that I would recommend to others. This beer led to my worst beer experience ever. I was given this at a bar in Memphis Tennessee. It was clear enough that I could read the newspaper through the full glass. No aroma to speak of, and very little flavour. I asked the waitress what it was. She replied, It's 'Milwaukee's Best'. I replied that if that was Milwaukee's best, I would hate to taste their worst. I was promptly asked to leave the bar. |

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 473ml can <br> 4.8% ABV <br> Canned On: April 29, 2018 <br> LCBO #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> May 25, 2019 <br> $3.45<br> The beer was canned over a year ago….so who knows what to expect. It pours a very hazed orange gold with a thin creamy head which slowly recedes to a long lasting ring. The aroma is tart tropical citrus, grains, and funk. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the malted grains and the tart tropical fruit with the tartness lingering on the tongue for a while. Not bad for a year old gose, but I do wonder how it would have been if it was fresher. |

The beer pours a semi-translucent light reddish-brown with a thin bubbly whitish head. The aroma is yeast, dark fruits, and funk. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is tart fruit and funky yeast with a little malt sweetness. I expected more. |

This beer pours a nice light golden colour with a small white head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is nice and earthy and very pleasant to the nose. The mouthfeel is satiny with light carbonation. The taste is what really wins me over. The taste is crisp and clean, and smooth. This use to be one of my favourite wintertime beers. |
