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.

Bottle. Better light beer than most of the other beers out there. Nothing special to note about it. Would rather drink Yuengling regular instead.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color ale with a huge foamy head with average retention. Aroma of roasted malt is mildly entertaining. Taste is bitter from the roasted malt with some sweetness. Not much hops were discernable and body was a bit too light for my own taste. Re-rate early 2008 - more robustness in this beer then the last time I tasted and maybe more complexity but still an average porter overall.

bottle - This one was free and I hadn’t had Yuengling in years. I was expecting the rather decent amber colored brew I remembered, so I was surprised to see it pour yellow, though a slightly darker shade than many of the pale lagers. The light aroma has some hops and grainy scents. There’s a fizzy, rapidly fading head. The flavor is very lacking as with most beers of this style and the mouthfeel much too thin. It’s better than Bud or Miller, but still pretty poor.

Bottle. Not too bad. Dark brown color, with a slightly light brown head. Roasted and caramel flavor. Not the best black and tan I’ve had, but it was decent, especially for Yuengling.

Poured a darker golden amber with white head. The aroma was a sweet malt and sorta skunky mix. The taste was a rich grainy malt flavor.

Dark brown to black in color with light brown head. Roasted malt smell with a caramel flavor that blasts in your mouth. Tingly finish!

Deep black porter with a thin moka head. No aroma, no chocolates, no nothing. In mouth, chocolate malt, with rather cloying fruitiness. Short and light watery bodied beer. On tap at the CNY Brewfest 2006.

Dark amber color with a thin white head. Sweet malt aroma overpowered by corn and wheat. Sweet corn flavors dominate.

Dark cherry color with a light fully diminishing off-white head. Grainy aroma and a malty flavor. A good deal better than i’d normally expect of Yuengling.

Boy, moving from Anheiser Busch to Yuengling... err, I mean from St Louis to PA, is a nice change. As far as macro brews go, this is one of the better ones... certainly beating the pants off any AB products that you can buy anywhere. Aroma is a littel grainy and sweet. Appearance-wise, you might actually think this was beer rather than urine. Nice amber color, small head that disappears. Flavor is sweet and watery with definite grain sweetness. Refreshing, but not substantial.
