I've had enough miller lite and coors to definitely know them blindfolded. And heineken could never be mistaken for any of those.
I definitely recommend giving it a try, it was a lot of fun trying to tell them apart. We're hoping to do a 2nd attempt soon.
Heineken is so different from the others.
Agree corona premier is my favorite little more pricey than the others
Same!!!
Same!
This video showed us that the best way to drink Bud Light is when your tricked into it!
😂😂😂 Favorite comment so far
Best comment of CZcams… ever
I like it...but then again, I like most beer
This comment aged well
@@jerielalvarez for sure bro!😂
By FAR the best blind taste test I’ve seen. Cheers!
Thanks version 2 is in the works! Hopefully coming mid February (after Dry January)
I’m glad you like Yuengling Light. I live in Pottsville Pennsylvania. It’s all I drank my whole life. America’s oldest is still America’s best.
It's so good! I got to run their Oktoberfest race in Bethlehem one year. So much good beer 🍻
Havent had their light yet. Hard to beat Coors Banquet and Hamm’s (not lights tho, but oh well). It used to be regular Bud for me but with recent events, im obviously no longer drinking anything AB-InBev
You need to pour them into red solo cups next time. I feel like the label of the rolling rock gave it away.
I think we might for the next one. I like using the bottles/cans just for people watching to see what's what.
Good point.
rolling rock !!! rock n roll baby !!! MY ABSOUTE FAVORITE !!!!! that is what i drink !!!!
Yuengling light is my go to at the moment.
Obviously I was a fan 🍻
IMO, very hard to distinguish between light beers, but much easier to distinguish between beer styles. You could do this same taste test tomorrow and get different results, so much so that number 1 could go to 6 and number 6 could go to 1. I would think that if I did this, I couldn't tell the difference in the light beers, but I think I could pick out the Heineken.
Agreed, I'm eager to try it again. I felt very dumb with how much I said "this beer tastes so much different" but wasn't able to realize it was the Heineken lol. Version 2 will definitely be a "light" beer exclusive!
1) To truly enjoy beer you have to remember when you FIRST experienced your first beer. I had mine when I was 7 years old in a in a hot car as my parents did not have water or anything to drink in the car except my father's "warm" 8 pack of tiny 7oz pony Budweiser. I guzzled it down and it tasted SO GOOD! I feel asleep within 10 minutes after drinking it. 2) Fast forward to the future as I am now currently a serious beer drinker and have tried all types of High ABV beers to the point that now at my old age I prefer a light beer like Coors light. My final #2 point is because I drink so much I have never experienced that first time beer taste UNTIL I was hospitalized for 3 months recently and could not drink beer. When I got out off the hospital I quickly got me a Coors light beer. I could not believe it but when I took a sip of the Coors Light beer after not having beer in 3 months, guess what?. Yes that first time beer taste came back as that beer or any beer that I could have had that day was MUCH enjoyable and tasted great! (Hint) Another words, sometimes its best to reframe from something to enjoy it AGAIN.
Absolutely agree with that "first" beer feeling. I also relate certain beers to very specific memories which makes them way more enjoyable. Happy to hear you're out of the hospital, hope all is well 🍻
damn. That's crazy. 7 years old. I'm 15 lmfao
Just found the channel and subbed. Cool comparison video. Cheers!
Welcome, glad you like it! I'm looking forward to the next chance I get to record one!
Cheers, check out our reviews
Yuengling is a GREAT beer. I am drinking their regular Lager, right now. I also like their Black and Tan. One of the last FAMILY OWNED breweries in America......I need to try their light beer.
We almost named our dog Yuengling because she was black and tan 😂. Great beer, I didn't even know they had a light option before this video. 🍻
ive just started drinking im pretty young lol but i just tried some yuengling and i was blow away by how good it was, hands down my favorite ive tried so far but i really wanna continue to experiment because i know there are so many other options
Try Yuengling Flight
Yeah I have Yuengling Light and Yuengling Lager in the fridge right now and I enjoy them both.
Yuengling Light only has 4.0% ABV though, also 99 calories and 3.2 carbs which is nice. Similar to that and the best on the spec sheet in terms of ABV, calories and carbs is Miller Lite with 4.2% ABV, and only 96 calories & 3.2 carbs
Good man, you are a connessuer. Yuengling Light was my late father in laws favorite beer, he lived well into his 90's so knew a thing or two!
Definitely a solid choice, it's delicious!
This was an awesome video. A buddy of mine brought some yuenglings back to Texas from the east coast and they do stand out from other beers.
I've always been a fan but had never had the light before. I was definitely pleasantly surprised!
Nothing beats a refreshing Yuengling. Especially if you are having a cheese steak in philly.
Cool video BUT for a real blind test you need to pour into glasses....I could tell a few of these just from handling the bottle, like rolling rocks have a painted on label vs paper
I think we'll opt for solo cups in the next test to really capture the memories I have with most of these beers.
might not be a coincidence that the two beers in green bottles (more susceptible to light exposure and thus off notes) were last
Agreed! And also possibly since they don't technically fall into the "Light Beer" category.
Rolling rock and Heineken go bad quick because of their green bottles. The light skunks them super quick. Always buy them in cans or enclosed cases of bottles.
Been drinking Yuengling light for years. Great beer!
I love how Bud Lite was briefly #1 lol
No one was more surprised than me lol
I enjoyed watching your video. Very interesting, and a lot of fun.
Thanks! We're hoping to do another one soon.
I like this your not just judging the beers off the name on the label . Your go in just off taste an honest
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with it. There have definitely been some surprises across a few of my blind tests!
Totally want to do this now!! Maybe with few friends
It would be so fun to do it with a group. I'm working on planning a 2nd edition now.
Not a fan of light beers, but to drink beer these days I have had to go that route. I typically enjoy amber/red/Vienna lager/marzen. Malts. But with drinking light beer it is tough. I tolerate shiner light blonde. But what I have in my fridge is the Yuengling Light (18.88 a case at Walmart helps)
Can't beat those prices 🍻
Yuengling actually isn't too surprising. They seem to be the only macro-brewery with character to each of their brews. I personally like their Black & Tan for a readily available brew that really has deeper flavor. For a while, about 15-years ago we got their "black" beer which was a basically a porter (though I can't recall that per se on the label) in my market. It had a number or something like that as its name. It was great only to disappear only to occasionally return in a holiday sampler. I'd like to see that beer go national again because being older I no longer prefer session, or lighter beers, choosing instead to pick slower sipping fuller bodied brews. Still on hot days you've convinced me I should pick up some of Yuengling's light stuff. Well done.
I'm with you, most days I like a nice sipping beer. Especially in the winter opting for something with more robust flavor. In the summer I trend toward the beers and sessions. Pilsners have also been in heavy rotation
I fluctuate with beer. Grew up on Busch light and always have a case around but also enjoy Dos Equis and ciders quite a bit
Busch Light was an old favorite of mine. I'll still grab an 18 pack every now and then but I don't see them as much by us.
LOVE YOUR REVIEWS BRO - I have to ask tho, i'm soooo impressed that you don't have a beer gut :))) Since the virus i've got a huge beer gut...lol - so i have to ask - from one beer lover to another - HOW DO YOU DO IT ??? - SUPER IMPRESSED MAN :))) - keep up the awesome reviews....cheers from NC :))))
Thanks! And as far as keeping off the beer gut, I run... A LOT lol. I'm actually training for the NYC marathon currently.
I don’t remember seeing the Bud Light jumping from 6 to 2 though, but great video!
Thanks, I'm still shocked it ranked so high. We definitely need to do another test. Maybe with some new contenders.
It was 6 in the prediction before he did the blind taste test.
My 3 favorites are coors, bud light and Heineken.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks!
Very good job. Makes me want to try yuengling light...
Harder to find but definitely worth it!
@@iRunOnBeer luckily here in Florida, yuengling is very popular and easy to find
Yuengling is a great beer! but I can only get it when I travel east, not in the st louis area as of yet. great vid my man! thanks for thoughts on light beers dude! now if only i can get yuengling my way...prob not since this is budweiser town, and they are gonna keep it that way.
I'm a big Yuengling fan! They've been expanding a decent amount recently so maybe one day 🍻
I never saw Yengling in Costco in CA but will try to find it. Mine is always Coors and Bud or The Blue Moon with orange :)
I've always been a bud light drinker at bars but never had YL. might have to go to the store now and grab me one of those create a 6 pack to try 1 of everything
Do it! And report back on the results!
Loved seeing Bud light flying at #1 for most of the video 😂 🍻
No one was more surprised than me lol
Too bad he didn’t have PBR or Miller High Life there those are 2 amazing beers love them both only give a slight edge to PBR but both are unbelievably good beers. Out of his list the only one I would drink would be the Rolling Rock Cheers! 🍻
I'm still leaning towards the Yuengling lately 🍻
Surprised that Yeuleng won. Never had it before. Might try it. Have no desire for Bud or Coors Light but like you have fond memories with Rolling Rock. Drink Henney only if I have to but I love Miller Lite. It's ambrosia. Great vid.
I was very surprised by the winner. I don't think I've actually seen a Yuengling Light since. I'd love to get another six pack though
I've been drinking Miller Lite for 40 years, I picked Milwaukee's Best Light TWICE in 2 different blind tests.
Sounds like I need to up my beer identification game! Once the blindfold was on it was a bit of a crapshoot for me haha.
Hahaha the beast! #milwaukeesBeast
I enjoyed that. Bud light. And coors. Didn’t surprise me. I never heard of the yangling. Beer. I’ll try it next tome.
Definitely recommend, it's based in PA but has decent distribution around the country. The Yuengling Lager is their flagship beer.
I first has a yengling at age 14 belive it or not and has been my go to ever since, age 33 now.... bud light is what I drink when I'm thirsty/cutting grass or a party beer....as it's like water.
Facts might have been my first beer at 17 not sure
Loved it
Not surprised yuengling climbed to the top. Good video dude your guesses were on point
Thanks! I wish the yuengling light was more common in NY! I'd get it so much more often!
great video man! Im surprised by Heineken and budlight. Heineken is my fav. bud too sweet.
Thanks! I definitely want to try it again sometime soon. I was also very surprised by the outcome
If the concern is "carbs" only Miller Lite passes the test. Frankly, all "lights" suck except on a hot summer day, however, yes Yeuleng Light is probably the best flavor out of that grouping.
The problem with Coors and Bud lights is sure low in calories (not my issue) but not carbs. As a type 2 diabetic if I'm going to damage myself I'd just have a regular - high quality beer before drinking those. Like I mentioned out of the group Miller Lite is significantly lower and just almost makes it worth the carb load vs taste.
Good to see a blind test, you're right, i do associate certain beers with memories, so a blind test would be interesting 👍🏃 & it's good excuse for a beer 😂
It was so much fun, I definitely want to do another one!
Had a few yuengling black and tans the other day my favorite beer rn
We actually can't very close to naming our old dog "Yuengling" because she was black and tan 🍻 Great beer!
You thought bud light was Heineken. Lmao. I’m out.
I'd like to see more of these videos I know you have like three of them right now.
We're definitely overdue! We recently moved and still need to find a good beer shop that lets you do mixed 6-packs.
I'd like to see a taste test between Pbr, Busch, budweiser, High life and Corona. Non lite cheap beers.
That would be a fun test! The hardest part is finding places to buy single beers for the test! I don't need 6 packs of everything 😂
Miller lite has the best flavor compared to the buds and coors in my opinion
My wife would agree. Miller is easily her favorite. Looking forward to doing another blind test sometime soon.
Nice vid! Cheers! 🍺🎩
Thanks! We're getting ready for version 2! Just have to finalize the lineup 👍
Yuengling is my personal favorite
The hilarious part is the Miller lite had more out of the bottle drank.
I'll be grabbing some yingling light.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
I usually put Bud Light last as well lol. I'm drinking a Coors Light right now myself lol
That's what I like to hear! I need to do a rematch soon 😂
@@iRunOnBeer lol
Coors has always been my favourite as it has virtually no aftertaste. A definite plus when drinking cheap beer like this. Bud has too much of a sweet, corny flavour for me. I want to try the Yeungling now though!
This was my exact thought! I always associated Bud with a weird sweetness. Apparently I didn't notice it as much with the blindfold on 😂
For me miller lite has more flavor.
I'm not sure if it's the rice in the recipe or what, but Bud Light gives me a headache. I love Miller Lite!
Coors light miller lite bud light Busch light yuengling light sub heinie for ultra would be good to see.
I definitely want to get Busch Light into the lineup for number 2
You And Me have similar taste in beer great video!
Gotta be honest.
I love every one of these beers
😂 No shame in that! Light beer gets an unreasonable amount of hate.
Out of the bottle? C’mon man, do you not own beer glasses 🤣 Great Wife
Our idea with the bottles was so it was easier for the viewer to tell which was which as they moved around. And Yea, she's pretty great 🍻
So if nobody's watching will you still drink a Bud Light?🤣 Is it easier with the lights out/blindfolded..🤣 👍 to the giggles.
Lol, only when it's the only beer available! I would say the biggest change since this video is I consume a lot more Yuengling lights/flights.
All of those beers have their place, though. Nothing better than crushing an ice cold Miller Lite after mowing the lawn.
That's what I'm saying! Light beer can be so refreshing in the right circumstance!
Heineken and Rolling Rock are regular lagers, not light beers. 🍺
Budweiser and Yuengling are my go tos
Yuengling Light
Miller Lite
Coors Light
Heineken
Rolling Rock
Bud Light
Love Rolling Rock when I can find it
The first beer I ever tasted 🍻
I love doing the blind challenges! I'm almost always wrong! I agree about Bud Light, to me it's over-hyped and I've tried to avoid it. However, I recently did a 3-way taste challenge with Bud, Bud Light and Bud Ice. As bad as I hate to admit it, Bud Light won.
The surprises of a blind challenge are the best part! Gotta add But Light Platinum into the mix next time!
@@iRunOnBeer I actually like BL Platinum, plus it's a 6% ABV!
Heineken and rolling rock are not in the light beer standings, but good review
Fair point lol. This was definitely a scramble to put a lineup together with what was available. We're currently planning a 2nd edition
@@iRunOnBeer It's ok, I too did the same thing and I am learning as well, just wanted to let you know, which I am sure you do. I am exploring tons of beers, and growing a strong appreciation for the classic American ones that many people say that "it tastes like water" comments. Totally not true, and they are fantastic beers in their own right. Good luck man!
@@Larseus Thanks man, you too! They're definitely underappreciated brews
This was a great video! Also, I would LOVE to see you Collab with Cody Ko on his Codytrains channel! (I think that's what it's called!) Although he is all the way in Cali and I her at the end you are from Pottsville Pa! Hey there, neighbor! I'm from Lower Bucks County Pa! Grew up in Yardley and the last decade I've lived in Bensalem!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed I'm actually from DE originally but spent a lot of time in and around PA growing up!
@@iRunOnBeer Nice! Delaware is beautiful too!
fun to drink to
LOL Miller lite and Budlight are fighting for competition on who is the King of Light beers and you made it obvious. (Dang I spoke too soon. After watching halfway, I can't believe there was a serious twist)
I subbed just cuz of your name. And to make it even better you have a great channel. Fuck yea.
There! Glad you like the channel 🍻
Yuengling is only in east coast, it barley made its way into Texas late 2021
I'm hoping they keep expanding distribution, I'm always surprised they're not nationwide. I remember my friend in Texas was so excited when they made it this year!
Rlly cool video keep it up :)
Thanks! We should have a pretty fun one coming out later this month 👍
@@iRunOnBeer sounds awesome I’ll be here new sub :D
Awesome, thank you! Feel free to let me know there are beers you want to see us try 🍻
Hops* not hood sorry haha
This is a good beer comparison test, BUD LIGHT DRAFT , is a very favorite of mine at restaurants, while eating. Thumbs up & I Subscribed, Cheers !
Thanks for subscribing, glad you enjoyed it! I'd definitely encourage everyone to try this. It was a lot of fun.
Never heard of "Yeangly"but l will get a 6 pck tomorrow.
Highly recommend! Although I think it's called "Yuengling Flight" now. Not sure if it's the same beer.
Someone may have asked this already, but why didn't you use Rolling Rock Light, and Hieneken Light?
It was tough to find single bottles available of all the light beers, and I didn't want to buy a 6-pack (or more) of each. These were the most readily available options, but we'd like to try it again with TRUE light beers.
@@iRunOnBeer gotcha, great video regardless.
As far as domestics Bud Light and Coors Are my two
Rolling Rock use to be so good until it got bought out and turned into cheap beer
Enjoyable watching but I cannot see how regular beer can be amongst the line-up ( Heineken and Rolling Rock ) when it is a light beer blind tasting. Does this mean that there are only 3 light beers brewed in America?
Just means I was in a hurry and the store I went to had very limited light beer options available as single bottles/cans 😂
Coors Light FTW!
A classic!
I think Bud light brewed on the east coast is better than bud light brewed in California. I wish Yuingling or Naragansett were sold out here in California
I've never heard a difference between the two. I guess I'll have to try some Bud Light the next time I'm out west! Yuengling has been gradually expanding, hopefully they'll hit CA eventually!
When it comes to Light Beers...Bud Light is the BEST for me They call it " Drinkability" and I'de have to agree.
My Top Five Most Vomit Inducing Beers
1-Coors Light
2- Pabst
3-Miller Lite
4-Modelo
5-Corona Light
I'm not putting the Milwaukees Best, Busch, Keystone, or Bud Ice on my list because every one knows they are the cheapest of the cheap beer and there is not an expectation of great taste...
My favorite beer would have to be a Corona Extra with a Lime for special occasions.
I'd love to see you do a blind taste test and see how you do.
You should purr into glasses to open them up
For light beers, I only ever drink them out of cans/bottles so I wanted to taste test how I actually drink them. Also, for visuals, it's much easier for the viewer to know which is which.
No PBR?
Classic what’s the difference between a flea and a louse contest
lol dude trashed bud light, then liked it
No one was more surprised than me 😂
Ah man they got heineken light ya know
Bud light 1 coors second Miller third Never had the rest but ima bud light guy
EVERYTHING from Yuengling is great beer!
Agreed! I ran their Oktoberfest 5k race a few years ago and the beer they had was phenomenal. I can usually only find their lager and light beer by me.
Amstel light its a king of the light beers
Heineken isn't really a light beer.
I think they've made a Heinie Light in the past
Honestly the miller high life tastes better than normal miller light guess it's just cuz I like miller it's rare to see me with a different one no matter what they say I truly do not like bud light always have headaches drinking that crap
I feel the same! Miller high life always takes me man to high school basement parties. All the nostalgia. I don't care how the ranking turned out, you still won't see me drinking bud light unless it's the only option.
Great video buddy just subscribe to you my friend coors light is my go to beer 🍺
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🍻 Coors will always be number one in my heart
@@iRunOnBeer same here buddy
wingding lite is pretty good
Rolling Rock and Heineken
It’s Miller Time
No Busch light?
Busch light will definitely make an appearance whenever we film the next edition. That was my go-to in college.
i was shocked by the budlight the most.
You and me both!
I'm getting it 😁
You can tell by the feel of the bottle and label. Poor each 2 into a frosty mug
