12 oz can with a blue label and red/white accents. Eagle too! Found this at a distributor in Robinson, near Pgh. $12 for a case of 24, that makes it 50 cents a can. I could not wait to taste this, I thought they quit making it, perhaps they did. Date code "brewed by Pgh Brewing Company" and they are defunct. Been owned by Iron City Brewing for at least a year now? I already tasted American and American Light from Pgh brewing and found those cheap PLs acceptable. I think this is the cheapest of all ice beers and its local! Oddly reminiscent aroma of a quad Trappist I had lately, way! Difficult and rather harsh initial flavors somewhat like the better City Brewing PLs. You can taste some of the Iron City influence in there. Cheap pale yellow ubiquitous appearance. Some bubbles arising. Odd processed flavors a little more than you’d find with American Lager. Stronger, yet not repulsive for a cheap ice lager. Difficult at times but it does not come across as aged lager. Seems to have a hidden higher alky personality about it. More palatable than most cheap ice brews. Finish is almost watery, yet has a processed mundane punch that lingers unlike a bitter hopped beer. Does the job. Sometimes the age of this beer shows thru with a little sickening sweetness in the background which perhaps approaches the negativities of City Brews. I have about 20 cans of this FT! Contact me via BM. Heheheh S4/L1/F2/T5/08

Dec 31, 2007 Yeah, this is a man’s beer. Smells like piss, looks like piss, and tastes like piss. My friends and I drink it all the time. I quite like it.

Dec 29, 2004 This canned brew poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and yellow orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of malt rice . Its mouth feel is tingly from start to finish with a palate and a aftertaste. Its flavor contained corn malt notes. Not one I would buy again.

Nov 29, 2004 Can. Small white head with fair lacing, fast rising carbonation, transparent, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty, smelled like sweat - in other words - like b.o. Yuck. Flavor was not much better. Light bodied beer. Not recommended needless to say.

Mar 23, 2004 Found this at the Pick-N-Save in Milwaukee, WI. March 2004. $2.99 for a 12 pack! Read that again: $2.99 for a 12 pack!!!!!!
The alcohol content is not listed on the can. Being an ice beer, it's probably at least 5% by volume.
I'm not a big ice beer fan. But this isn't overly horrible. It does the trick as an alcohol delivery system.
It has almost no flavor. It's a beer to get a buzz on, nothing else. Did I mention I paid $2.99 for a 12 pack?
$2.99 folks! For a 12 pack!
Even bad beer tastes a little better when it's cheap!
