UPDATED: JUN 29, 2007 What can you say, From a can. Poured gold with little head. Nose of mild hops, and flavor is mild malts. Reminds my of Bud, but slightly better. The touch of bitterness is its best feature. Good for the price.

I think you have to have grown up on this stuff to have a real appreciation for it. Certainly not my everyday beer, but when I’m back in the ’Burgh for a Steelers or Pens game, I’m going to Pump an Arn!

Pours dark gold with a small head. Aroma is weird. Tastes like stale hops with a bit of mold. Leaves a strange aftertaste in the mouth. Carbonation is sharp. Not what I expect from a classic.

This beer pours off amber with a minmal head. It is a classic that has lost its way or has it. I had no complaints and for the price....good for over indudging!

You best be a STEELER FAN if you drink this beer. This beer has history but not a great a taste.

Clear yellow appearance with a small white head. Grassy, mild malt aroma, light on the hops, slightly vegatal. Clean, crisp taste, fairly dry, with a short lived finish. Just don’t let it warm up. Preferrable to a BMC.

Everytime I pull one of these cold ones back, all I can think about is sitting at Moe’s, pulling up a stoll between Homer and Barney. It’s a blue collar beer, with a crisp, dry mouthfeel and slightly sweet palate. Pairs best with gravy fries and shots of cheap whiskey.
