Yuengling beer, meh

[TxBigfoot]

Finally got to try Yuengling today, I actually just finished my first one. I've wanted some for years, it was like the forbidden fruit that I wanted but couldn't have.

It's alright, it doesn't really have much of a flavor to me. It tastes a little watered down imo. There's zero aftertaste, I like a little aftertaste though. I don't hate it, but IMO, Ziegenbock is better.

Are my taste buds used to substandard beer, is Yuengling truly the nectar of the Gods, or is it a bunch of hype? What do y'all think it?

I have not tried it, but sounds like I should not get a six pack of it.

The only claim to fame for Yuengling is it’s the oldest
continuously operated brewery in America.

 

[JCC]

could I get one of the ones you have left to give it a try?

You've got Shiner Bock and Lone Star. Why can't you just be happy?

It is good to have choice.
I think that Dos XX and Modelo Negro are worthy beers.

I am not a fan of Yuengling. When I drank, I prefer beers like Shiner Bock, Ziegenbock and Abita. I liked Modelo Negro but not Especial.

Abita - eeeeew! I've tried several of their different beers - They were just okay until I tried purple haze - yuck!!

Some years ago when I lived in South Carolina, I bought Yuengling occasionally - I recall thinking that it was one of the better tasting of the cheap beers.

I like Modelo Negro and heavier dark beers in cooler weather, especially Guiness.

I've developed a taste for IPA beers, especially during summer time warm weather - Karbach and El Chingon are my present favorites.

I like it pretty good. My go to for drinking is dos equis.

I thought it was pretty good.

Might have been the fact of knowing I couldn't get it back home.

I am a fan of IPAs as well
