Bottle: Pale yellow pour slightly bright. fluffy white head and drippy lace. Definite grainy corn like aroma that I have come to despise. Malty, corn flakes, and light hop flavor.

Thanks to my co-worker Helen for bringing this back from Pittsburgh for me. Pours a very light yellow with a lot of visible carbonation and a proud snow white head. Aroma: Corn, malt some rubber(like the inside of a new plastic pencil case) and a tiny hint of unripe fruit. Flavour: Sweet, some definite corn notes, light malt, slight metallic finish. Not great but would drink it over say - Budweiser any day! Thanks Helen :-)

Pretty poor lager. Being from Pittsburgh originally, I’d like to support Iron City, but it’s just not that good. It’s a liite over carbonated, a little light on flavor/complexitity, a little sweet, a bit astringent, and overall a bit dissapointing. Better then Bud/Coors/Miller light, but not as good as Yuengling or (I C Brewings’s own) Augistiner.

Bottle. Clear yellow with little head. Malty smell. Taste is malty with light hops with a strange metallic finish. I guess the name Iron city fits haha. Not horrible.

Can. Clear golden, moderate soapy white head. Clean pale malt aroma... at least it isnt stinky. Grainy palate with a tinny metallic note in the finish. Not awful but pretty lifeless.

Bottle. I’ve never seen this is a bottle before. I feel like I should put on a Franco Harris jersey and wave a Terrible Towel while drinking it. Pours a clear yellow with a 2 finger quickly dissipating snow white head and spotty lacing. Nose is grain and light hops. Taste is malt, some light hops and a slight metallic finish. Light mouth feel. Not good.

i enjoyed this beer. I have friends and family from pittsburgh so this beer was a mainstay at many a gatherings. It has an ok taste for an American lager
