Dry maize and wild oats receive astringent lemony hop tingle and cheap whiskey nip for easygoing, if indistinct, pale aluminum low-carb light lager. Lighter than popcorn and less salty.

YUENGLING RAGING EAGLE MANGO BEER
Nearly nebulous floral mango dalliance gains brisk lemon soda spritz and slight sourdough remnant. As mango juicing fades, citrus-candied blueberry tartness and slightly sour kiwi-guava tropicalia emerge.
YUENGLING HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE PORTER
On tap at Beef Trust, sweet-toothed fresh take on 200 year old recipe utilizes Hershey’s chocolate for limited edition 2019 porter. Syrupy dark and brown chocolate candied richness gains fudged brownie permanence and mild toffee goodness. Only the slightest harsh hop char disrupts its sweet hot chocolate lusciousness.
YUENGLING GOLDEN PILSNER
Simple lawnmower fare. Spritzy lemon spicing easily glides into buttery cereal-grained biscuit malts and floral-wafted grassy hop astringency.
YUENGLING BOCK BEER
Passable ’09-brewed American-styled bock relegates bittersweet chocolate-cocoa malting and coarse hop-roasted char to phenol metallic deficiency. Latent brown-sugared dusting lost amongst fizzy carbolic implosion. Buttery diacetyl notion compromises mocha-chalked dried fruiting.
YUENGLING TRADITIONAL LAGER
Dusky apple waft, frisky carbolic fizz, and sweet barley mouthfeel capture front end of smoothly bitter lager. Chewy toffee malts consume crisply hopped finish augmented by cherry drop tartness. Just a little coarse around the metallic edges.
YUENGLING PORTER
Frothily creamed brown-headed swamp-scented port with powdered cocoa dryness, caramelized mocha splendor, roasted barley-nut surge and maple oatiness deepened by pine-embittered licorice-licked prune-soured black coffee finish. Mired only by oily coffee grain bottom.
(YUENGLING) LORD CHESTERFIELD ALE
Interesting blonde-hazed white-headed dry-grained pilsner-styled India Pale Ale uses old fashion country hops to embitter roasted barleymalt sweetness, setting firm foundation. Despite undefined sour fruiting, muted nuttiness, and soapy finish, compares favorably to Labatt’s ales (or similar mountain-watered Canadian refreshments).
YUENGLING LIGHT
Differs from Yuengling’s lager by losing most of its yeast sinew and barley sweetness for processed faux-grain rigidity and acidic phenol drop-off.
YUENGLING LAGER
Subtle toasted hop bitterness and chalky barley-scotched malting barely distinguish this from Yuengling’s better, more consistent, Traditional Lager. I believe I drank this prior to Yuengling’s 2000 marketing push.
YUENGLING BLACK & TAN
Dry-hopped black malt bitterness chafes dark-roast barley essence, but chalky mocha spunk damages tepid B & T. Problem may be it’s too drab and superficial while lacking expected dried fruiting and black chocolate creaminess for its lofty class.
