Slightly dark gold color. Thin white head. The the aroma is malty with grass and the sweetness of pears. The taste is light and inoffensive. It has some dirt and a little bit of bread. Not much else going on.

nice overall beer, faint scent of something, nice color with snow white head that dissapates quickly.tastes of malt and corn with something of a hop nip at the end, not strong enough to be called an actual bite. The fact that I am watching the steeler/eagle game probably helps this beer on a nostaglia stand point

The new IC aluminum bottle hit town the other day and I just had to check it out. Poured medium gold in color with a mild malty grainy aroma and faint hoppiness. Light bodied, some maltiness and crisp in the finish, it’s a fresh batch anyways. Pretty average for the style, compared favorably taste wise with the big brands and generally a lot cheaper, although the new packaging was a bit more than the regular bottles. What the heck, give it a try, you can always use ’em for little bowling pins.

Aluminum bottle. Color and aroma typical of the rare American Pale Lager. Wispish white head, quickly fades to a ring. Mouthfeel is water, fizzy water. No flavor to speak of. How does one produce this effect?? To make something this damn bland requires effort.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 23, 2004
Dark straw color with a fizzy big bubbled head that diminishes quickly. Industrial aroma. Corn and resin initially in the nose, but malt is detected with a full sniff. Some sweet malt and mild dry grassy hops. A touch over carbonated and slightwatery flavor. Actually better than I remember Iron Chitty.

Lemons and a bouquet of flowers. Light hops very airy fragrance. Golden yellow head very light with no retention. LIght citrus hops with a hint of spiced malt. Very light watery mouth feel so light there is no after taste. I might as well just drink water. If I was in the desert I’d rather drink sand. Still in all I love the cold aluminum can bottle. I'll reuse it again:^) ............

Going into this expecting the worst. Appearance isn’t bad. yellow, with a nice head. Smells of randomly cheap beer, but not terrible. Taste is actually not bad. It’s drinkable... and cheap as hell. Why not?
