Famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor, with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original delivers a well-balanced taste with very distinct character. Born from a historic recipe that was resurrected in 1987, Yuengling Traditional Lager is a true American classic.

355ml can. Clear, dark amber colour with small, frothy, moderately lasting, barely lacing, off-white head. Rather expressionless, slightly toasty, minimally grainy, malty aroma, a touch of corn, whiffs of treacle and dark honey sweetness. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally toasty, minimally grainy and sugary, caramel malty, mildly bitter, minimally soapy hoppy, minimally diluted hints of honey covered cereals, treacle.
Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, scattered, prickly carbonation.
Simple and monotonous, expressionless - meh!

I forgot I never rated this. Some light Malts but otherwise mediocrity incarnate. Really.

Can. Nice amber color, decent head and lace. Taste has a corn like taste but it has a lot of rich flavor. Aroma is light with a caramel corn note. Not bad for a monster beer.

Bottle at the Airbnb in Marigot. Copper pour with a thin head. Totally unoffensive lager but also painfully mediocre with barely any noticeable characteristics. Meh.

US pint at Philadelphia airport on 8th March 2025. Waiting for a connection to Miami. Clean and clear amber body, off-white head. Malt driven with a pleasant crispness and carbonation. I liked it and it’s a beer I’ve wanted for ages because I was given an old Yuengling stemmed glass many years ago and still have it in my collection.

From tap at Pere Antoine, New Orleans. Sweet and bready with brown-ish malt, caramel, dark bread, barley and wheat. Mild bitter flavour. Body is mild to medium. Actually not a bad Dark Lager, much better than most macro Lagers.
