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.

On tap. As drinkable as their amber lager. Not great, but certainly there are far worst beers you can choose out there. Don't expect a real Porter flavor to come through on this though. Their Porter is somewhat tame and it comes through in the mix. A drinkable refreshing beer nevertheless.

I was quite surprised that this was a drinkable cheap beer ($16+/case). I was travelling through Pennsylvania and wanted to bring home a mixed case of their beers (another story - what a hassle buying beer in PA is!!) Good golden color, clean inoffensive taste. A better beer than the major megaswills.

Pale golden coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of sugars, hops, light malt and some metal-not that bad! Light-bodied; Flavourful hoppy character with a mild malt finish. Aftertaste shows some metal but also some caster sugar. Overall, a better beer than the traditional lager-good for $1! I sampled this 12 ounce beer purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, D.C. on 29-December-2003.

Light clear copper colour with a very fast dissolving tan head. Aroma of metal, malt and a super light hoppiness. Not bad for a light! Light-bodied (just as expected); Ultra-Carbonated; Thin malt flavour with a bunch of metal and no hops nor sweetness. Overall, a decent light, hardly any taste, but the aroma is nice! I sampled this twelve ounce beer courtesy of Haddon90 on 19-December-2003, Purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia. Thanks again Phil!

Typical american lager, no hops , clean tasting, probably uses adjuncts, rather innocuous..

Bottle. An amber color with little aroma. It's deinately better than your standard American lager, with more of a malt presence. Easy to drink.

This beer is apparently really big in PA/NJ but you don't really see it in my neck of the woods. Clear dark amber with a thin beige ehad that disappears quickly. Very thin lacing. Light hoppy aroma. Light-bodied and crisp with a mildly bitter hops flavor. The finish tells me that this is not a beer you should let sit for a long time before drinking. Overall I'd say "drinkable" about sums this beer up.

Probably the best light beer made, one of them anyways. Taste is crystal clear, with no cereal/grainy taste. Has a bit of a sour malt taste to go along with it, on the finish. Clean and crisp and what a light beer should be.

Dark dark brown colour with a ligher brown head. Almost no smell, a bit malty but other than that...nothing. A decent taste, initally strong, but really nothing hidden behind any of these flavours. A bit malty, a bit watery and a bit roasty. Not a good example of the style. While it might be a 'decent' beer because of the price, Yings are never great beers. Worth trying if you need to save money, I guess. I had this as a 12 ounce bottle purchased at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

I've had a handful of the Yuengling beers, and this one is one of my least favourites. This tastes more like a Budweiser than anything else, but is a step above. Not a great colour, not a great flavour, but all-in-all, not the worst beer ever. Try the traditional lager before this one, definately! I had this in a 16 ounce can at the Carlisle Barracks Golf Course in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
