One of our heritage beers, Yuengling® Lord Chesterfield Ale has as much rich heritage as it does flavor and appeal. Crafted in a unique two-stage European brewing style for enhanced bitterness, it utilizes both conventional kettle hopping and dry hopping after fermentation resulting in a dry sharp finish. Its distinct robust flavor is derived from a delicate combination of sweet maltiness and lingering herbal bitterness.

Bottled. Love that retro label. As an old-line ale, fares better than at least anything the macros call "ale." Has a real ale taste, as opposed to the "cream ales" popular in this part of the country. Straw color under lacy head. Subtle spicy/citrus hops aroma and taste, plus a warming maltiness. The alcohol does not make itself felt. Not brewpub-great, but an interesting ale to find.

From America's oldest brewery - another old school beer like the Natty Boh I had a couple months back, or the Ten Penny from my university days. Or even the Molson Old Stock from that old codger's bar a few months back. Anyway, most of these are the same - golden, fairly bland but with a shade more hop than the best sellers. Could be worse, but we have micros now and nostalgia only goes so far.

A very slight skunk smell (it came in a very pale green bottle). Flavor was nicely balanced, getting sweeter as you finish. Fizzy and golden. Competent.
