Not good, not bad. Better than you might think for one of those low-everything beers, but really the worst part about it isn't the low-alc low-carb part, its the grainy corny stuff going on. So basically: decent looking bright gold but small quick fading head. Cleanish fermentation but the nose is grainy, the flavor tends to a semi-sweet corny flavor, modest bitterness at finish. Given that its light bodied, that probably saves it from being gruesome, because a heavier malt body with all that grainy sweetness would probably be awful. It manages to achieve some drinkability otherwise.

12oz bottle. Tastes like chocolate syrup. Not sure why any adult would gravitate towards this. Straightforward chocolate syrup tones, not a lot of malt depth behind it. The low ABV makes it more enjoyable than similar 10% beers, but it is still rather unappealing and juvenile.

Honestly better than the regular Premium I think.

So, as a local western PA resident, I try to keep on top of yuengy; even tho they are somewhat to the east of me, heheheh. From a 2$ can this stuff looks like any other pale lager but the head has a slight yellow tint. The nose is somewhat stronger artificial fruit, maybe mango, not sure. Taste is like your favorite exciting mate's BO when its ready for action. Come on Yuengy, stop chasing fads, you already got what it takes to be a famous brewer. Yes, a little artificial from the start even tho it says natural mango flavor. Let me ask; is it real mango or some kind of mango extract? Anyway, at 6% I think I'm getting a little bit of buzz. Hopefully, that is, for the price I'm paying on flavor. Yea, stick with your black n tan & porter, that stuff is much more professional.

12oz can. Filtered golden tan body, steady head. Sweet, not really capturing the style well. Some corn syrup. Unimpressive.

Pours reddish amber with a thin creme colored head. Aroma of grainy malt, barley. Taste has a caramel malt base, more graininess, mineral spirits. Palate has thin watery body, more caramel on the nose. Eh.

Sample cup from brewery tour. Medium body dark brown, faint molasses and coffee aroma. Bitter flavor with malt and bitter hops finish. Not a beer I buy these days.
