Local favorite. Nothing particularly great or noteworthy, but certainly not bad. Rather heavy, goes down well, and very clean.

Prior to visiting Pittsburg on a business trip I was told by several people "Do not drink this Beer"... I should have listened. IC light is better.

Not too bad, but I actuall like IC Light better. This is what I would call a "burger beer." It is not rotgut, but it’s nothing special. Then again, when in Pittsburgh, it would be silly to drink Bud or Miller when this is available.

Golden colored beer with a foamy white head. Weak aroma, slightly hoppy. Hoppy and flowery flavor with something undefineable in the finish.

Bottle. Light gold color. Small head. Aroma is grainy, grassy, Cornish and sweet. A medium bodied lager. Malts are mild, fruity and sweet, corn and rice. Hops are mild and slightly bitter. Fairly neutral tasting beer. No really objectionable flavors. Not bad for a macro. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

The things I won’t taste to ensure a complete database or beer list! Iron City indeed; how do I flush the rust? Metallic, harsh, no appreciable aroma, no head, no lace, no good.

I used to drink IC Light all the time in college, and I prefer it to regular IC. This one always seemed to have a metallic taste, but it was still head and shoulders above BMC shit.

I bought this for the cheese value alone. Plesantly suprised! It yellow with the big fizzy white head of course. Flavor is actually quite tame. Not great mind you but its a better lager than BMC. Had a very small touch of hops and no real bitterness. Go ahead and try it.
