Came in one of those bottle-cans. Very clear and yellow. Almost no head at all. Very uninteresting with very little hop character and some grain character, but not a malty flavor. This is one of those beers that fits very well into the "domestic american lager" category.

16oz bottle: pours golden brown with quick fading white head, aroma of stale malt, flavor not awful for a big pale lager but nothing great pale malt with some added leather taste. i think pit should stick to steel cause there beer just aint cutting it.

This was a tall grenade bottle. Pours a clear golden straw color. My sniffer cant pick up much with this and my taste isn’t getting much from it either. It’s very light on my tongue. Just a hint of roasted grains, and lots of water.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with almost no head but a continual supply of carbonation. That’s rather an oxymoron. Aroma of roasted malts. Thin mouth feel. Taster is kind of grassy and bready with some vague hops. I do enjoy trying the classic names from time to time even though they’re rarely top of the line. But it’s drinkable enough.

Stubby Pint bottle. Very traditional macro lager, remarkable only for the metallic (iron, eh?) flavor. Not too good.
