Clear orange pour from draft at Baumhowers in Orange beach. It tastes like urine. Choking this fucker down
Twelve ounce bottle from Western Hills Remke, tasted on November 21, 2014. Medium yellow hue, standard pale lager odor with a strange perfume-like touch, mostly sweet flavor with a touch of tartness and a smoke-like note (though this is far from a smoked beer). Not all that but marginally better than Yuengling Traditional Lager.
Bottle, twist off. Nose heavy on corn (lightly candyish) and a little earthy grain, going to be sweet macro. Body clear golden with slow, minimal carbonation and a short white head. Taste lightly sweet and lightly bitter, very full body is fizzy and short, corn and grain and a touch of bread into the aftertaste, but not clean. Pretty basic macro, this one thankfully not in a green bottle/skunked, as is usually the case with normal Yuengling.
"a little too high and tight with the carbonation...otherwise passable for the style. nothing special - some light grassy hops and a splash of sweet malt, but the body is eh."
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into pilsener glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a slight transparency about it. Light carbonated bubbles were seen rising. The head was about a finger’s worth of white foaminess that dissipated pretty quickly. There was some light lacing sticking and then sliding into the beer.
The smell had a blend of sweet corn and a light caramel malt.
The taste was mainly sweet and there’s a bit of a toastiness here and there.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there and somewhat sharp but didn’t distract from everything else.
Overall, decent pale lager that’s always seems to be at my dad’s house whenever I go to visit him back in PA.
Better from the tap than in the bottle. Has a little of a sour finish. But of the domestic beers it’s one of the better ones
(Can). Drank directly from can at the LLL closing day game. This beer takes a back seat to the Yuengling larger.
Can. Pours a bright straw color with a big white head. Aroma is pale malt. Flavor is sweet, corn, touch of caramel. Not stellar, but easy to drink and nothing objectionable.
Fizzy yellow beer. Thin white head. No lacing. Grainy cereals and a little citrus and stone fruit. Light bodied, lively carbonation, thin in the finish, overly sweet.

Poured from can into pint glass
Appearance – Pours a light golden color with a large white head. The head quickly faded leaving a persistent thin foam with only a very light lacing on the glass.
Smell – The aroma is very light, but notes of corn and an ever so light caramel smell present.
Taste – Sweetness is the first thing detected on the tongue. It contains mainly flavors of corn, but has a light caramel taste as well. The sweetness lightens ever so slightly as the taste goes on leaving a little it of a more bready flavor; overall though the flavor is rather light.
Mouthfeel – A very moderate body and very average level of carbonation, make this one very easy to drink, but is really nothing too special.
Overall – Easy drinking beer with a moderate level of flavor. A very standard American lager.
Appearance: Pours a clear, light golden body with a flush of white foam fed by steady streams of effervescence.
Smell: Conjoined nose of lightly malted barley and ground corn with meager, meager backing of hops.
Taste: Cereal malts, a spoonful of corn, a sip of clean spring water, a faint kiss of hops with little imparted bitterness. Faint hint of sweetness on the otherwise clean, crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Overall: Well, it’s chuggable and cheap.
Aroma is corn sweetness and mild off-notes. The flavor is corn sweetness, a mild sour twang and a malty finish.
Can thanks to adnielsen. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma of straw, corn, sugar. Flavor is like apple cider, some straw and honey. Not bad
Big fucken can offered @ gmellison. Got this bad boy in a trade. Clear golden yellow appearance with a white head. Some apple offered in the aroma along with lemon and candy. A bit twangy flavor. Highly carbonated. Decent body. Fairly well balanced though the hops don’t really have any flavor. A bit of grain. Not offensive with moderate plus chuggability.
A decent party beer. Nothing terribly bad about it, but nothing great.
16 ounce can. Pours a clear golden color (some orange hues) with a small white head. Fizzy. A sweet nose of corn and honey. The flavor is sweet malts, metal, more grains, rice especially, a bit of sweet dirty almost hotness. OK beer. Not something I’d want to drink regularly considering the options we have. Oddly, I think this was worse than the light version.
Yuengling Premium is a light straw colored beer. It's light, balanced taste finishes clean and crisp.
Poured into pint glass at an x-mas party. Poured a yellow, thin head that was quick to retreat. Aroma was a weak wheat, straw as was the taste. Watery, thin and pale flavored. Finish was straw. Not good, this was most likely a good beer 20 years ago in the USA, glad times have changed.
DATE TASTED: 9/4/2014... GLASSWARE: Ommegang 10-year pokal...OCCASION: the NFL begins again... APPEARANCE: white, fizzy, foamy head that fizzles quickly; clear golden yellow body--random lacing... AROMA: sharp doughy cracker malts and roasted toffee melt together with a rust copper aroma--oddly familiar but, under scrutiny, not so desirable... PALATE: fizzy and slightly oily/buttery; easily drinkable, as it no doubt is designed to be...TASTE: sweet, malty and metallic, as remembered...a distinct central PA lemongrass and hard water combination...OVERALL: familiar but significantly less frequented than the traditional lager, the premium carries less weight than the lager but has a little more taste than the light--but not enough to elicit comparison or deeper analysis...
Slight aroma of straw. Weak flavor of straw, lemon, and orange. Slightly abrasive. No aftertaste.
Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a medium sized white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is corn and hay. The taste is bland dough.
Cans upon cans....Nice and cheap and full flavored compared to other mass market hoopla. Kinda sweet mid drink but finishes full and crisp. Love this stuff!
Kinda sweet and malty with a hint of metallic hops on the nose. Maybe a hint of cooked corn dirty dishwater as it warms. Flavor is right there too; sweet malt, metallic hops and cooked corn. Moderately low carbonation lends a pleasant, creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat lengthy mouth-coating impression keeps it from being a “clean” finish, even though it’s mostly flavorless.
A farely booring beer with little bitterness. An almoste stale mouthfeel. Amber in color with a white head.
Whew! Macro pale lager at its budweiser-ist! Straw gold, thin head, even the funky adjunct flavor and aroma! Not impressed.
Good all around everyday beer, very enjoyable in all settings and pairings! Wish it was sold in more then two states.
Pours a clear pale yellow with a medium foamy white head. Aroma is faint...sweet, malty straw. Flavor follows suit...very mild and boring but certainly not offensive. Mouthfeel is light and the finish is abrupt.
fuck yeah, this shit is premium. Definitely lighter and cleaner in both appearance and flavor. Lightly crisp but also super grainy and lightly minerally. Not bad.
Still not sure the difference between this an Traditional. Doesn't seem to have as much flavor. Not as full a palate here. Meh.
Quart bottle from Al’s of Hampden. Pours a clear golden color with a large frothy off-white head that quickly fades. Aroma of grainy malts, very faint toasted notes and a bif of grass. The taste is sweet, grainy malts with faint grassy and fruity hops. Medium bodied.
