Golden Pilsner
Pale gold in color, with a snappy hop bite and malt flavors alongside it. Yuengling introduced this modern pilsner in 2018, the product of six generations and nearly two centuries of German-style brewing, with a bite meant to whet the appetite as it quenches thirst. Year-round, 4.7 % ABV and 18 IBU.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Golden Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
