Its low ABV makes it a session beer. Just make sure I’m not drinking in on that session! Just kidding! I’ll drink with anyone of our fanz!

Overall Score: 6.6

Overall Impression:
Yuengling is America’s oldest brewery and they have been around 180 years, making them almost as old as Herr Rick (He is immortal ya know!) So I have a lot of respect for the brewery itself, it just is a weak beer for the style. Just not for me. But someone who is on a tight budget may consider this beer before moving up the ladder to "actual" Doublebocks!
