Beer Review: Lord Chesterfield Ale

Time for another new from the Yuengling family. I had the Lord Chesterfield ale with dinner on Sunday evening.

I'm a hops girl and this was not my normal variety of beer. That said, this was a decent showing for the pale ale category, but there wasn't anything special about it. That seems to be the case with a lot of Yuengling beers. They're good, but not outstanding. I liked it, but I didn't love it.

A good beer should roll accross the tongue like a fine wine. The flavors should evolve and change over time on the palette. The lack of this makes a beer taste flat and unimaginative.

My score: C

Drinkable, but not anything to write home about. If given the choice between a Lord Chesterfield and a non craft beer, take the Chesterfied, but if given the choice between this beer and a real craft beer, take the real craft beer instead.
