Not the worst thing out there. Pours a light head with a straw color. More malty than anything. Is it an expensive IPA? No, but no worse or better than a large macro lager.

I have never tasted rubbing alcohol before but after drinking this stuff I think I know what it may taste like. It tasted like a water downed verison of rubbing alcohol.

In a 12 oz Aluminum bottle (take the worst qualities of a can and make it into a bottle- brilliant)- poured thin transparent yellow, no head. Aroma, barely any, of malt. 1st sip made me think it was Budweiser- noticeable "wannabe" malt taste, no finish, goes down like water. Bad misuse of water...

Locally Whole Foods is carrying this beer at a jacked up price. The appearance of this beer is the highlight. Pours a bright, clear golden color with a small white head. Lacking in aroma, maybe a touch of cereal in the nose. Watery with mild flavors of cereal and honey, and a touch of hops in the background. It beats a bud.

simple yeast aroma and very pale straw yellow color. Little flavor, starts a bit skunky, finishes sweet with no hop characteristics. Great for those who don’t like that ’beer’ taste.

Aug 2007. An enjoyable treat from the east. Thanks Uncle Dave. Not bad for a mass produced beer, better then a Bud/Coors/Miller. Not available in Montana; and I like to have something from Pittsburgh when watching the pre-season.

Tastes like rust and lead based paint. Ugh This is BAD beer. I was forced to drink this by my roommate that was from Pittsburgh. I sure hope people outside of NEPA don’t think this way about my local brew Yuengling Lager.

clear gold and watery looking. no head. sweet honeyish aroma. flavor is sweet with honey, butter and malt. maybe a hint of toffee and citrus. really not too bad for a pale lager.
