Down here, it's cheaper than Bud/Miller/Coors/Etc. If that's what I'm in the mood for, it's going to be Yuengling.
I did go crazy with it when we first moved and I discovered you could get it here, so it's been a while since I've had it.

From what I can ascertain, the correct answer is "Hops".
I'm a big fan of the Traditional Lager but I would highly recommend trying the Black and Tan. it's pretty frickin fantastic.
Try a Black and Blue. (Guinness and Blue Moon). A nice malty front finished by a citrusy undertone.
I just made a run for the Louisana border to get me a few cases. Yuengling is awesome!
I wouldn't say over hyped because both of what you listed are great deals at their price point.
An over hyped beer: Stella Artois. An over hyped burger: Carl's Jr.
I've toured the Yuengling brewery in PA before. Incredibly historic. What most people would call their standard beer (Amber) has only been produced since like the 80s. I guess it was some way old recipe they had that was locked up for a long, long time.
Yuengling family still runs it. Currently the dad has like 4 daughters who day all of the day to day.
They ship a lot of beer to military bases throughout the world for soldiers.
Love their black&tan. Even the Premium (gold can) is great.
Pretty funny story about prohibition, when it was repealed, and legal again, at like 12:01 AM a Yuengling semi rolled up to the DC Capitol to hand out to Congress. They make it very well known they were brewing the whole time, and also had a huge dairy to supplement income.

It surprises me that people have so much disdain for InBev. They help bring good beer all over the country.
I have had a couple, and would agree with a lot of the posters: it is pretty good for a light drinking beer. Certainly better than a lot of the beers in it's price range, but not the best beer ever.
The thing about beer is that it comes is so many forms and flavors it is hard to claim one is supremely better than all others. It seems easier to identify things to avoid.

It's not hard to find at all anymore. It's drinking a lot of mediocre to bad beers to find a few that are pretty good. It's also finding a style of beer you like, only to find out that other people like it, so you now have to **** all over that style of beer that you used to like. Oh and first and foremost, if a beer isn't brewed by an independently owned craft brewery, you have to declare it bad beer.
I brew my own beer regularly, I hit a lot of craft breweries and grab anything new that shows up in the stores. I have definitely had a lot more "Bad" craft beers than I have ever had a bad Miller, Yuengling, etc.
Of the mass produced American Lagers, I find Yuengling to be quite enjoyable. I often wonder, of all the people that call this beer bad or that beer bad, how many actually enjoy a nice crisp Lager beer. Even a lot of german styles are just lightly hopped, pilsner malt only beers, brewed, then stored cold, to actually remove as much of the yeast character as possible. Now they filter, but a traditional pilsner beer wasn't meant to be anything more than a clean, refreshing drinking experience.
Certain beers may not be your choice, but it doesn't mean they are bad. I've hated almost every sour beer I've ever tried. I can't stand any beers that add fruit to them, doesn't mean they are bad, just means I don't like them. I usually only call a beer bad if it has off flavors compared to the style it's supposed to be. And as I've said, I've had a lot more of those in the "Craft Beer Experience" Than I ever did buying a mass produced lager.
