Yuengling Traditional Lager

Brewed by Yuengling Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Pottsville, Pennsylvania USA

12 oz. bottle. Pours orange gold with foamy white head. Aroma of corn malt, cardboard, metal. Taste is a balance of corn malt and hops with a mild finish. Not as watery as I expected and decent carbonation. This is a very plain beer, but it’s not a bad beer. Compared to most beers of its price, it’s much better; it’s good for when you need some cheap beer to drink alot of.

On tap, pours a dark yellow. Only a thin, dissipating, white head. The aroma is fairly malty with hints of hops and perhaps some unsavory adjunct. The body is clean and fairly refreshing. The flavors are nothing spectacular but did not turn me off either. Also a little hint of citrus (lemon?) to add a little something to this fairly average beer - but if I have to choose between this and some macros such as Bud, Miller or Coors at a run of the mill bar where there isn’t much of a craft beer selection - this one will win out every time.

Pours amber with a medium white head and some impressive lacing for a cheap beer. Light, fruit forward and somewhat skunky aroma. Crisp nose, thin but unoffensive body and a light finish. Flavor is somewhat sour with some fruit, a hint of hops and metal. Has been our house beer for the last 3 years and will remain so. One of the best modestly priced beers for the money and one that has never let me down. Note: In my experience this beer tastes noticably different from a bottle, poured from a can or on tap. In my opinion, the best taste is when poured from a can. If you dislike Yuengling from a bottle, try it from a can and see if that doesn’t change your opinion.

This is not a great craft beer, but if you want an everyday, inexpensive lager this is the one. It doesn’t hold a great head or give you a complex flavor pallet but you can drink all night without flinching.

I’ve been looking for this stuff for a long time as I haven’t lived in a state that had it. And it isn’t that good. I’d drink this if I got it for free, but the taste just isn’t that good. A bit ...just yuckyl. I can’t even get specific. It is light, but the taste is a bit stronger than I would have thought.

In the world of the blind, as they say, the one-eyed man is king. For me, Yuengling is the one-eyed man of macro-crap lagers. I enjoy it, although it does suck. Foamy, thin, just a bit sweet, but somehow it makes for a good night of cheap drinking.
