1926 Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale United States Blonde Ale 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Tried this after a several scuba dives in sunny FL. The beer pours a slightly richer golden color than your average macro lager does. The head was big and white and bubbly and left some decent lacing on the glass. The aroma is mild hops with a husky grainy sweetness to it. The taste is smooth and light with a decent and very mild hop bitterness. The hops lend just a very slight citric flavor and balance the sweetness quite well. The mouthfeel is crisp and light and very refreshing. This beer is my least favorite brew from Yuengling and for the price it is not bad at all and it is very easy to drink.

1927 Yuengling Original Black & Tan United States Porter 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours a semi-opaque dark brown in color with lots of amber and reddish highlights when held up to the light with a tall beige head that reduces to nice lacing. The aroma is malty sweetness with some light hints of caramel. The flavor really follows the aroma of the beer, caramel and grainy malt sweetness dominate the flavor. Very little hop presence and almost no bitterness.

1928 Yuengling Raging Eagle Mango United States Fruit Beer 3.3

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours a clear golden-orange color. Remarkably effervescent. Thin sudsy off-white head. Head retention is not all that great. Aroma has notes of sweet mango, mango syrup, not much else beyond that. Taste follows the nose with lots of mango flavor - not sweet - Yuengling actually says this is a pils base beer with mango added. There are some earthy, piney hops on the back end. I can see how this wold be refreshing on a hot day. Feel is light to moderately bodied. Crisp carbonation.

1929 Yuengling Traditional Lager United States Vienna / Amber Lager 3.9

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

It pours a reddish copper with a nice white head that quickly fades and leaves a wispy lace. The aroma is of grains and malt aroma, but not overpowering on the aroma. The taste has the grains and malts. It is not too sweet, but very enjoyable. There isn't much in the way of the hops, but even without this is a tasty larger brew. The mouthfeel has a medium body and has medium carbonation to it. Yuengling in general is a great company with what I've had by them over the years. This traditional lager is a great beer.
