Yuengling Traditional Lager

Taste 7/8 bottle5/8. Looks: Amber to copper little head. Aroma: A little skunk, faint yeast and caramel. Taste: Mild candy sugar, spice and a watery mouthfeel. Very weak finish. Nothing too foul. O.k. for my friends to drink.

Draught. Pours golden brown with a thin slightly creamy white head. Aroma is faint, what’s there is a bit of toasted malt. Taste is toasted malt, hint of caramel, no hops presence worth noting. Mouthfeel is light to moderate carbonation, watery body. Fulfills its role as a session macro-lager, a notch above BMC industrials.

Draft @ Tampa Airport: I think you know what you’re getting here -- it’s no finely tuned craft beer, but what it is is refreshing, crisp, and has a depth of flavor that doesn’t quite reach MUCH past macro brews but just enough that it’s an easy choice over the Bud, Miller mess of choices. Very lightly toasted caramel malt, bit bready, with a barely-there hop on the back end. We do not have this available in Ohio, but I wish we did.

Pours a deep golden brown with very few bubbles and not a lot of head. Looks like a beer and not apple juice like many other lagers. Very faint malty aroma with an even fainter hint of fruit. Smooth tasting with little aftertaste. Not very bitter, definitely tastes like a beer. Ultimately, Y. is an American macro that’s drunk more for texture (fizzy) and temperature (cold) than taste

Lagers always scare me, cause they usually dont deliver much of anything. This brew is really above and beyond most lagers that Ive had. It looks hazy golden and actually has some depth of flavor.
