Pretty average overall. Not a strong, unique taste, but solid and drinkable.

Worse than AIDS. Would seriously rather ring out the bar towel into a glass and drink that. USA!

durhambeer (2028) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - APR 4, 2010
Bottle. Extra points for the sweet-ass label. Keeps decent enough carbonation when poured, but looks pretty unexcitingly clear gold with a tiny white head. There are hops present, so it has that going for it. Unoffensive but not interesting.

Apparently people from Pittsburgh love this stuff. But, apparently people all across the U.S. love Bud Light too. So, let’s get to the heart of the matter concerning Iron City. It’s a bland, light-style lager with a not so friendly watery taste. As a result it’ll make you burp and make your stomach feel full. Hard to differentiate from any mass produced, worthless lager, Iron City is best left on the shelf and not in your glass. Boring.

1010 (310) - Marysville, Ohio, USA - MAR 22, 2010
Pours a golden color with a carbonated white head. Taste like a macrobrew and is bad at that. Would never try this beer again. 12 oz. bottle

Prometheus (160) - Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA - MAR 7, 2010
Corn syrup in the flavor and the aroma. Corn in the flavor. Sweet, strong corn in the finish. It is what it is.

Rustyham (1303) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 3, 2010
aroma is of corn syrup, appearance is an uninspired headless pale gold color with active carbonation. Flavor is of corn, grain, and breakfast cereal. Not bad, but far from anything good. Bottle from ABC Liquors, Miami.
