Premium Beer
Yuengling Brewery

My big brother gave me a can. Very nice clean malt aroma. Very clear pale gold with nice very white cap. Boy was an easy drinker this is. Smooth and clean with a decent crispness and small carbonic bite. I enjoy this quite a bit.

 

This is a weird beer. For years they used to come cheap for a 6 pack that says Premium from a good company, but that first beer is nasty. You need to be 3 beers in and buzzed to enjoy drinking it after that.

Best Mass-Produced Beer in America — It’s Not Even Close

Folks, I’ve had a lot of beers. All the best beers. And let me tell you — Yuengling Premium? It’s the best mass-produced beer in America. Period. Crisp, smooth, a working-class hero of a beer. The taste? Spectacular. Not too heavy, not too light — just perfect. Pennsylvania knows what it’s doing, believe me. If George Washington was around today, this is what he’d be drinking. America First — and Yuengling Premium first on the list. Total winner!

Super-hard to find in the Cincinnati area, but the price point is very attractive. This brew is similar to their Golden Pilsner product, but it has more malty aroma and flavor up-front. It does finish with a quite bitter hoppy back-end and a lack of crispness. There is a previous review saying that this is half Yuengling Traditional and half Warsteiner, which is true, but the hops are a bit stronger than Warsteiner.

Overall, a very good beer, especially true to the pilsner style, but like the Golden Pilsner brand, it's not worth the effort to track down. If it is easy-to-find, go ahead and give it a try, as it's usually a great value, though it's usually only available in 24-can packs.

Look: golden; half-finger head poured in a glass. No lacing. Moderate carbonation.

Smell: corn.

Taste: nice and flavorful. Similar in taste but slightly more hoppy than Yuengling Traditional. If Yuengling traditional and Warsteiner Pilsner had a baby, this would be it.

Mouthfeel: not bad, could use more carbonation.

Overall: very enjoyable and crushable.

 

 

I have lived in Pa for 38 years. Yuengling has always been available and marketed. My brother was always a big Yuengling guy and I guess had been a bit of a beer snob and though he was just being cheap. Well I took the tour of the Yuengling brewery and learned that Premium was an old recipe with limited production. A pilsner and not marketed outside Pa. Tried it and now its my #1 pilsner in my refrigerator. Did I mention it is 1/2 the cost of Sam Adams?

 

Great Drinkable beer. It's one of those go to beers that you don't get tired of drinking. Very Popular among Yinzers.

Poured from 12 oz can into pint glass. A thick foamy white head drops at a moderate pace with scant lacing. Color is golden straw with plenty of streaming carbonation. Aroma of bready malt, cracker, mild hops. Mouthfeel is light and crisp with a dry finish. Flavor is a nice balance of the sweet malt and corn with a hop bite. Overall: very good, less sweet than Yuengling Traditional. Glad this beer is finally distributing in my area!

Yuengling Premium has a thick, white head and a clear, bubbly, gold appearance, with some lacing. The aroma is of white bread crust. The flavor is of white bread crust, yeast, and toast. Yuengling Premium has a low-moderate bitterness and a medium body, with a crisp finish.

An amazing quality basic lager. Excellent malt meets, apple, meets corn, meets hop notes. Not fancy, bought in 24 pack cans. Reminds me of Schiltz Gusto. Simply put great tasting, basic beer. Nothing junk or offensive. Cheap, but excellent and no aftertaste which offends, nor bad headaches. The best lawnmower beer you can ask for. Paid $22/case. great value for good beer.

 

This is one of those beers that I enjoy having maybe a couple times a year. Nice at a pinic, or maybe if you're out hiking... it's that kind of beer.
Light yellow, short lasting head. Aroma of sweet malt and slight corn. No hops in the aroma.
Somewhat spritzy on the tongue, but in a refreshing way. Light malt flavor and some light bitterness in the aftertaste.
When compared to others in its class, like Pabst, Genesee, maybe Rolling Rock, this beer holds its own.

Gifted a half a dozen loose cans at a wedding reception in June 2022. I’m not a fan of this style, but this is actually a pretty decent lawnmower beer. It’s a little sweeter and breadier than a good lager, but I wouldn’t turn this one down. Not bad at all.
