I'll add in this disclaimer now, I've had Yuengling before. I just couldn't remember what it tasted like, so I didn't bother to try and review. In this case, I was down at the beach for a roommate's wedding (I was in the wedding party), and we had a couple of brews at a local bar the night before the wedding. I went with Yuengling because the rest of the bottles for $3 consisted of Bud/Miller/Coors products. Do. Not. Want.
The beer was served in a bottle, so I couldn't tell you what it looked like, couldn't really tell what it smelled like either. Bottles have their own type of aroma that blends into what you're drinking. It could be all in my imagination, but that's just how I feel about it. As far as taste is concerned, it actually has some. It doesn't taste like the adjunct lagers you get the from the masses. Has a bit of roastiness to it to go with the malt. The aftertaste is a little funky, but nothing that'll turn you away. Red Oak also falls into this Amber Lager category, and this is no Red Oak (I just had a Red Oak yesterday and it's still very superior, in my opinion). Light bodied, moderate carbonation. When the menu is limited, this is my go-to. Average beer, but average beats the competitors.
Grade: C
Price Paid: $3.00 (12 oz bottle)
