Blind Battle Beers! Is Miller High Life Really Better Out Of A Bottle?

[@heathtucker8455]

I love this beer. I think the can version has a “fresher” taste. And this may sound odd but i love the feel and look of this beer, drinking from the bottle

[@jsenigaglia]

Doesn’t sound odd at all 😎🍻

[@lpdog82]

@@heathtucker8455 excellent beer indeed, and I love the 16 oz cans

[@shawnlabroix6886]

Great review, JOW. Also, love the fact that the guy in red/black full-body spandex with mask, and foot aflame @2:20 (in the background) is the current mayor of Knox County! Thanks again!

[@thespankdmonkey]

My opinion, I like the bottle. Cheers on the video BTW. Sipping a 24 oz. High Life can right now. The 12 oz. long necked bottles when chilled properly, with the frost on the glass, just evokes another era type of nostalgia. Like you state their is a slight taste difference, or possibly it is just the carbonation. Well it really does not matter here in Vegas at my local supermarket I have been snagging regular weekly coupons for both. Like $16.99 for a 30 of 12 oz. cans or $6.99 for a 12 pack of 12 oz. bottles. Great prices on a classic beer.

[@jsenigaglia]

Hell yeah, that value is so great! 🍻

[@thespankdmonkey]

@@jsenigaglia Just got a digital coupon at our grocer for a 30 pack of 12 oz. cans for only $12.99! Crazy! I am definitely on my way to the store.

[@averagejoe716]

I agree with Chris, the lack of a cuvée aka cooooooovvvvvvveeeeeeeee broke my heart (again, LMAO)! Fun side-by-side, for sure. Nice review, brother. Cheers, Joe!

[@jsenigaglia]

I failed miserably on this one 😂😂😂

[@CaRlOsUnDeAd]

Problem with bottles, especially clear ones, is they can easily get light struck creating off flavors. Cans are just superior for preservation etc.

[@DanTheMan189]

High Life bottles are immune to this problem. They add something special to the hop extract to prevent this.

[@CaRlOsUnDeAd]

@@DanTheMan189 cant find any info on this.....

[@beardown2489]

@@CaRlOsUnDeAdit’s true. The hops in high life are genetically engineered to be resilient the lightstruck reaction

[@CaRlOsUnDeAd]

@@beardown2489 just read it on their website

[@jsenigaglia]

No idea how they do it but apparently these clear bottles won’t skunk because of extracts they use. EDIT - I just noticed the other comments already mentioned this 🤪🤦🏻‍♂️

Red beers are the best 🔥🍻

[@ronaldtheriot]

This is an interesting taste challenge.

[@jsenigaglia]

I checked on your channel to see if you had ever done this and I didn’t see a video. It would be interesting to see the results of yours if you decided to do it 🍻

[@rocketman8476]

Do it with Dave so I can hear him complain about how you got more than him 😂

[@ronaldtheriot]

Ha-ha. Okay!@@rocketman8476

[@davidpitts7432]

When I was a youngster, High Life was the cheapest 12 pack of bottles you could buy at $4.99. It was my go-to for parties. Now it's the same price as Rainier so I don't buy it anymore.

[@jsenigaglia]

I really wish I could get Rainier here in CA. I love that beer 🍻

[@sergeantbigmac]

Rainier is actually cheaper in Wa state than High Life now (wasnt always the case) the irony being Rainier is no longer brewed here and is also a MidWest beer now too.

[@lpdog82]

i first tried miller high life in 1986 and have stuck with it ever since , it's always been my favorite beer , cans or bottles are fine with me, , , , hats off to miller high life ! ! !

[@jsenigaglia]

Great beer! 🍻

[@RaulsLife]

I prefer the glass bottle of Miller High Life

[@jsenigaglia]

Many others have said the same! 🍻

[@BoltsCardsNMore]

I like the 40oz bottles but in my town I can only find the 32oz cans and bottles can never find them in 24 or 16oz cans either as those are some of my favorite presentations

[@jsenigaglia]

I think we really only see the 32oz bottles and 24oz cans here. I haven’t seen 40oz bottles in a while 🍻

[@pv4669]

Cans block UV light. Glass, especially clear glass allows for UV penetration and creates a skunk aroma.

[@jsenigaglia]

100%! But I learned in the last few years Miller High Life uses a special hop (extract maybe?) that is UV resistant. I had no idea. I guess it’s how they’ve used the clear bottles all these years? 🍻

[@chriss6390]

No Cuvee?!?? When I drank this my determination was which was cheaper per ounce. Back when I would go shopping and have a running tally in my head of what I was buying and how much was in my bank account 😂

[@jsenigaglia]

Haha I didn’t even think of cuvée’ing these 😂🍻

[@roaddawg831]

Been drinking MHL for going on 50 years and have greatly preferred the bottle. I always thought it was just me, apparently not.

[@jsenigaglia]

It’s fun to drink them side by side without knowing which is which ya know?

[@islandnatty6950]

Nice comparison i think its the same what is your take Joe bottle or Can?

[@jsenigaglia]

Real talk, whatever is on sale is what I’d get. It’s not noticeable enough to say one is that much better than the other ya know? 🍻

[@jasonwilliams5881]

MHL is my regular beer and I don't get the passion for bottle, they are similar but I prefer the can for some reason.

[@jsenigaglia]

Cans are so much easier to store in the fridge, and get rid of 🍻

You are dead on about recycling! Plus, I can usually get 30 pack for 20 bucks. I don't want to say cheap, but a great budget beer !

[@jsenigaglia]

Budget beer for sure! My local spot usually has 18 packs for $14 so I grab em when I see em!

[@normanwyatt8761]

@@jsenigaglia That's about what I pay, $15.90 an 18 pack, including deposit on the bottles.

[@sergeantbigmac]

The totalwine near me sells a 30pack of cans for 21.99 ...When everything else in WA state is so expensive and getting worse by the day at least I can rely on some American Macros to still be .75 cents a can and not totally suck. While my fave IPAs are over $2 bucks a pop these days, its nice to have budget options.

[@davidfultz3594]

@@sergeantbigmac It's nice to drink those more expensive beers when you have a nice meal or the like, but budget beers have their place. I usually drink a High Life or 2 after work to unwind. Or 3 or 4, lol.

[@rayman20us]

How can the first one be sweet and dry at the same time?

[@jsenigaglia]

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking? Corn is sweet. Something can taste sweet and still have a dry finish, no?

[@cap6159]

Bottle's can't ever be left to get warm. Once they do they never taste the same. Cans can go from warm to cold repeatability. I've been drinking Miller beer since I was 17. I'm now 63. So I've had plenty of time to make this assessment. Probably around 10k beer or more. A good sample I'd have to say

[@jsenigaglia]

No argument here! 🍻

[@rod8672]

What’s your favorite macro lager?

[@jsenigaglia]

Miller Lite 🍻

[@tomf9292]

High Life drinker here. Bottles the way to go. Cans seem much fizzy

[@jsenigaglia]

Love bottles for sure!

[@TOC1616]

Drinking it out of the bottle vs out of the can seems to be the biggest difference for me, but agree I don't care enough one vs the other.

[@jsenigaglia]

I guess I could try that next, but knowing which is which might sway how I think about them?

[@Cripplecreekcarl]

I wonder if bottles limit oxygen exposure when bottling if you get more hop flavor….interesting take

[@jsenigaglia]

Not sure but maybe? Either way, the difference for me is minimal so I wont be going out of my way to find bottles ya know? 🍻

[@nobody_yt7649]

Any clear bottle or even green will get light struck which creates a skunky aroma if exposed to light, Corona for example

[@jsenigaglia]

Miller High Life uses some special extract to keep that from happening in their clear bottles. It’s wild. 🍻

[@cactusstudiossouth]

Iv'e been drinking Miller HiLife since I was 18 years old! Always the bottle! Easier to drink out of then the cans! Also the beer distributor stacks up the cases sometimes and uses them as a step ladder to get up into his truck! 😢😢

[@jsenigaglia]

Bottles are great, they just seem to take up more room in the fridge and are a pain to recycle! 🍻

[@fedupwthu]

Lol do they still call this the champagne of beers?

[@jsenigaglia]

They sure do 😬😂🍻

[@normanwyatt8761]

I've been drinking Miller High Life in bottles since 1969 and the only light it sees is the one in the fridge....Ha ! ....I've noticed no difference except maybe purchasing those bottles in those open 6 - pack carriers.....

[@jsenigaglia]

That fridge light is the best light! 😂🍻

[@michaelisbell3094]

I love living the high life, and I always drink it out of a bottle.

🎶Back in the high life again🎶 🍻

[@jonnyc1103]

I bet the difference is age, not packaging format (BB 1/15 vs. March)...

[@jsenigaglia]

Who knows if they even tasted different at this point 😂😂😂

[@deanzaZZR]

8 minutes into the review and I'm pretty sure I have not heard the phrase The Champagne of Beers! I don't see cans around here. I do remember picking up a cheap 12 pack of bottles not that long ago when the Miller Lite (my preferred Miller product) was not refrigerated.

[@jsenigaglia]

Miller Lite is also my go to 😬🍻

[@MattKeithley]

i've had both side by side and high life in the can has a different taste as if it has a different recipe...i prefer the bottle all day long.

[@bhnditmurcie]

💯💯

[@jsenigaglia]

🍻🍻🍻

[@jonS-42]

The beer is the same. The reason you think one is sweeter is because more carbonation makes any drink taste less sweet. You mentioned one was not as carbed as the other, the one with less carbonation tasted sweeter but smelled the same. This is the reason flat soda tastes so god awful sweet if it goes flat

[@jsenigaglia]

I mean, I wouldn’t be able to tell which is which. Those who say it’s “way better out of the bottle” haven’t ever had them side by side I don’t think. There is hardly a difference 🍻

[@rocketman8476]

The thing is with the comments…like your shirt says, don’t trip! Seriously though, I can’t tell the difference taste wise between bottle or can. Looks like I’ll have to do a blind taste test, oh the shame!

[@jsenigaglia]

Hell yes! Lemme know your scientific findings 😎🍻

[@MattKeithley]

and before i even watch the video i'm going to bet that the one that is sweeter is the can lol...hope i'm right

[@enthused7591]

Tastes great from the can as well. Not gonna win any craft beer flavor contests but it's the only dirt cheap beer that doesn't have that metallic toilet water taste like natty ice, natty lite, busch lite, rolling rock, etc. Every dirt cheap budget beer tastes like dirty tap water and has an aftertaste that reminds me of the smell of a dirty public restroom, but Miller Highlife tastes 99% the same as Miller Lite which is twice as expensive and tastes great. Little sweet, little corn, almost like a combo between Bud lite and Miller lite. Zero toilet water flavor.

[@jsenigaglia]

Thankfully here Miller Lite is always on sale! It’s my go to light macro lager 🍻

[@jimmystrickland1034]

Busch and natty prices have jacked up in my area, MHL is the only affordable beer here. 1.99 for a 32oz can, or 11.99 an 18pack.

I'm sure it's a psychological thing for me, but High Life out of a bottle just hits different. I can put down several at a time and enjoy every sip. The cans are fine, I just don’t enjoy them as much.

[@jsenigaglia]

There is a difference for sure 🍻

[@jamisonvance676]

Gotta disagree beer in bottles taste fresher, hada corona in a can at a football game it tasted off to me

[@jsenigaglia]

That could be a variety of things honestly. Age, how it was stored, etc. I’m not saying beer doesn’t taste better out of a bottle but I think a lot of it for us can be mental 🍻

[@jamisonvance676]

@@jsenigaglia right who knows if they store the beer in a giant fridge before game day, or just a ever changing climate hall lol! I do remebering having a aculto beer few yrs ago it tasted far better in a bottle then a can, I literally took a sip if the can and tossed it

I’ve have Amber Bock but it’s been YEARS. We don’t get Schell beers out here, unfortunately.
