Yuengling Lager:
Hello one and all, greetings from the East coast. Sometimes timing can be a bitch and this week's brews are the example that show that my timing sucks. Here I am, spending two nights in a coastal town with probably one of the premier brewery/distilleries in America and I’m stuck drinking tallboys. Wow, great decision making on my end. Well no use dragging the feelings through the mud, I have a job to do and, hopefully. do it well. So, today we dive into Yuengling and Son’s Lager. Brewed in Pottsville, PA, this amber lager is a nice change of pace from the other tallboy beers that I’ve had so far this month. Beer the educational read on the can, this brewery is the oldest brewery in America and their craftsmanship shows. Lack of having glassware in Hampton Inns don’t allow me to show the color or head on the beer so accept my description. The beer pours well with a minimal head but a strong fragrance of malts and bananas in the aroma. The color is almost like a Shiner but just a little lighter in color and a red tint. The flavor is similar to the nose with strong malts and a banana under current. The taste turns into a back end of bread and that lingers but isn’t too offensive. The rest of Yuengling’s beers sound good thought the black and tan caught my eye. Wish I could find the rest of this line in Texas but it’s an exclusively East coast and Appalachian beer. Will try to hunt down the others this week but not holding my breath.
