Nice reddish amber clear liquid fills the glass with only the smallest of heads that melts away to nothing very quickly even though tiny bubbles continually race to the top.

Aroma is very faint but hints of soft grains and an earthy sweetness.

Sweet amber malt on the tongue with tingly bubbles that seem to burst in the mouth with lightly sweet citrus hops....sweet lemon mostly.

Moderate drying on the back end as the sweetness leaves your mouth and is replaced with an almost creamy citrus hop finish.

Lots of flavor for a traditional old school American lager.

Poured from a bottle into a mug. Ill try and keep my PA and bias out of this review. I used to drink this throughout college and growing up. Now as a real review, the beer is pretty average and good overall brew to have for a party. One finger head that quickly expires after a few minutes. Almost zero head retention. No real noticeable smell, a little malt, some floral notes I guess. Almost a chemical type nose and mouthfeel. I get large carbonation feel and aftertaste. Almost seems to transition to a watery taste. Maybe my tolerance is now sky high but it tastes more like 2%. I get a little bit of sweetness and some dryness. It's very drinkable, like I said, a good party beer. Decent and inexpensive, brings me back to my college years.

Yuengling Traditional could be accurately characterized as a Vienna style beer, I think - an amber hue, a bit heavier than a lager, but still refreshing and suitable for my own house beer. It was once available only within a limited area from Pottsville, PA. Now, I am finding it all over the country. Where you find this beer at normal premium beer prices like Bud and other typical American lagers, it is an excellent bargain. I find it selling at import prices in some parts of the country, but it is considered "local beer" around Baltimore, making it pretty irresistable as an all-rounder daily brew.
