This was Phil's (Jennie's dad) choice our last time refueling our refrigerator. Yuengling is the oldest continually operating brewery in the United States. Based out of Pennsylvania, they survived Prohibition by storing kegs of their brews in the hills around Philadelphia. Yuengling has been in Ohio for about a year and a half. I had the pleasure of having some prior to its distribution here, and not much has changed. I like the brewery and most of their brews. This is their flagship beer.
A light amber in color, the nose is a nice balance of hops and bready malts. Crisp and clear, it is a very easy-drinking beer. At 4.4% ABV, it is noticeably lacking the adjuncts that are in most American macro-brewed lagers. It's good... probably my favorite among the aforementioned category. I also notice a little more hop presence than in most American macro-lagers. Yay hops!
3.5/5 caps

This is a good beer, much better flavor and character than, as Jennie worded perfectly, most American macro-brewed lagers. I prefer their Lord Chesterfield ale, but their lager is something that I will order at a bar.
3.5/5 caps
