American Beer

Brewed by Iron City Brewing
Style: Pale Lager
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Can, brewed in Vietnam. Pours a pale ugly yellow with scant fizzy head that dissipates fast. Smells like building materials, cement, tiles, and particle board with a mild unripe pear gloss on top. Medium level of carbonation. Not too gassy, not too sticky. The flavors are bland but has some fruity character and the pretense of hops. The aftertaste is unfortunately acrid. It wants to be a pils but fails.

Brewed under license by the Phu Yen Beverage Company in Vietnam. Skillfully hunted in Nha Trang. Lovely pale straw colour with no head. When I poured it, it smelled like apple juice but that blew off to reveal grains, maybe some sourness, and mustiness of a non-happy, non-lambic type. Taste of mineral water mixed with post-teethbrushing apple juice. Finishes sticky and with paint-like, gluey notes. Yum.

Pours a clear yellow, with a thick white head that was really bubbly. Could be mistaken for water with yellow food coloring. Skunky smell from this one. Goes down ok. May not be the best tasting beer, but how can you not love this can!

Thanks to 17thfloor for this patriotic salute to the American way! Pours a sweet ginger ale pale yellow with a small quickly dissipating head. Gigantic bubbles! Aroma is harsh and grainy, sharp and biting in a bad way. Old corny stale water is kind of the idea. Flavor is less offensive but just as bland and watery. Malts and a bit sourish. Lightest body possible and a sharp soda like carbonation. Bleck! Love the can though, I’d give that an 9 out of 10!

O man... what an awesome looking can, Go USA! Well... pours a very light super clear ginger ale color with large bubbles and a fizzy white soda head that fizzes itself away. Weak aroma, slightly sourish, grainy. Flavor is super watery with just a faint tad of sweet malt and rice and nothing else. Palate is light and watery but with a weird jello-y texture.

A buddy of mine got a 6 pack of this beer when I was in town and I think he paid like 1.99 for it. The only beer I have ever spit out and refused to drink.

This beer really and truly does capture teh spirit and strength of america. It even has an eagle on it, what could be more representative of america???

Golden yellow, fizzy with a short lived head. Light adjunct sweetness, no hops, some chemicals all in the flavors and aroma. Hey, its an american lager... go figure. I guess it would taste nice in the sun...
