I have drank many different beers over the years. Iron City and Lite, Rolling Rock, Bud and Bud Light, Coors Light, Yuengling... and Keystone Premium is by far my favorite. A very nice balance of taste. Not heavy and bitter but not too light and sweet either. I pray that they never stop making it!

Ice cold on a hot day and it was still disgusting. My neighbor handed me one out of his cooler while I was doing yard work. The taste is metallic and skunky. There are notes of corn and grains for something positive. Smell is very similar to the taste only less intense on the metallic aspect. Mouth feel is pretty much the same as water. Probably the worst beer I have ever tasted.

Very similar to Coors Banquet, with the sweet malts/corn and hiccup causing finish. Only real difference is the alcohol is strangely more noticeable.

Well here comes more of that urine and garbage liquid yellow blended with water. Doesn't for a head. A mixture of metal, corn, futuristic aluminum space ship alloys and molecular aromas your primitive nose wouldn't understand.
Taste takes on a weird subtle physical matter in the liquid aspect, water and sawdust from the corn husks used a malt. I don't understand what made this premium at all. More barley? Barf city. Notice I didn't talk about hops or yeast? Yeah, not sure they're here. Somehow this is worse than Keith Stone Light.

Surprisingly i was able to find this. I had never had regular keystone heavy, so i tried it. Not bad. Relatively Average. It's good. Average beer for low price.

Keystone Premium brewed by Coors Brewing Company, with an ABV of 4.40% Also known as Keystone RED. This brew pours out a nice light amber color with a smell white head. The smell is nice with some grains and hops at the end. This brew has look and smell of most American Adjunct Lagers on the market. The taste is ok you pick up on the grains. the mouthfeel is smooth with no bad after taste. Keystone is a little light for being premium. Overall I'm giving Keystone Premium a 4 out 5. This is a nice drinking brew I would get this brew again.
