Yuengling Premium is a pilsner-style brew, gold in color with a pale malt character that finishes crisp and clean. Premium blends both two-row and six-row barley malt for thirst-quenching taste. A regional favorite, it delivers a well-balanced flavor with slight traces of hop aroma that is always refreshing.

12 oz can at Van Beers. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Basic corn lager aroma. Basic lager flavor too. Maybe a touch soapy? Mostly smooth and clean, and lightly sweet. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. A serviceable beer. Not much of a pilsner.

Light gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma was well balanced. Taste is also well balanced with pale malt and hop characteristics and a crisp finish.

This pours from 12oz can a clear pale gold with a medium sized head of foam that dissipates quickly and disappears completely. There is no lacing.
The smell has a strong grain/corn nose to it. I can also detect some hop bitterness.
The taste on first sip has a mix of malt and hops but they're on the light side and...it's obvious that corn is used as an adjunct but I don't find that offensive at all. Further sips in and a musky taste becomes apparent but again, I don't find that offensive.
The mouthfeel is about right and the carbonation seems to be on the light side. The finish has some bitterness to it but the aftertaste is short lived and crisp. Not a bad drop at all.
Bottom line: This is a thirst quencher and, in my book, totally inoffensive. I like it. My thanks to jwc215 for sending me this one!

From old tasting notes. Slightly hazy medium gold color with a big foamy white head. Zesty, tart, grainy malt nose. Crisp malt upfront. Tart middle. Clean dry finish. Slightly gassy.

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.

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.

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.
