As I understand, this is a mix of the porter and the Premium. I've heard some good things about, which is why I was so disappointed upon trying it the other night (fresh on draught). Thin with not much flavor. It basically tasted like a watered down version of the porter - I'd rather just have the porter solo. Slight sour apple candy flavor was the only interesting trait.

Lagers are not my favorite style, esp American lagers - but Yuengling does a good job with this one. A very good and affordable alternative to other American macro lagers. Clean crisp lager flavor with a solid mouthfeel and body - not watery at all.
