About
The story of America’s Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg, Germany, to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. In 1829 he established the Eagle Brewery on Centre Street. In 1832 a fire destroyed the brewery and a new brewery is build at its current locationon Mahantongo Street.

Almost, but not quite, a beer. Looks delicious, and the creamy texture eschews general light beer fizziness. But there’s a Mich Ultra level of flavorlessness here, as bland as bland gets. Slight grainy sweetness, no hops, nothing on the finish. Bleh.

Aromas are malt, toast and a hint of toffee. Flavors are similar to nose and bittersweet with okay body and carbonation. A bit dark for a B& T. Drinkable for sure but not a lot going on. Would be good to cook with.

A bit dark for a pilsner. Aromas are floral, malt and wet grain. Flavors are similar to nose with floral toned down and bittersweet. Okay body and carbonation. A touch metallic in the finish.

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!

12 oz can at Van Beers. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Basic corn lager aroma. Basic lager flavor too. Maybe a touch soapy? Mostly smooth and clean, and lightly sweet. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. A serviceable beer. Not much of a pilsner.
