Really bad. The can is cool, I enjoyed the can more than it’s contents. Maybe the poorest american standard out there. The ’big 3’ have it beat (as sad as that is)!

haha the can says it all with this beer- bland, not very good, beer. if you could find a beer in a can that was white with black letters that said nothing but "beer" this would be that beer.

Well done aluminum bottle. Pours with an abundant head. Nice sparkling golden appearance. Aroma is not pleasant. Corn and hopless. While no flaws were apparent. It seems like a lot of work for something mediocre at best. If you have the brewing equipment and the malts available and it’s not going to cost any more and it may increase your potential market, why not cut out the corn and adjuncts and do something interesting like adding a touch of wheat, or Saison du Pont yeast?

Enjoyed during the AFC championshop game. Had a caramelly flavor that I thought was actually a nice change for pale lager. If you are swilling. Iron City will do in a pinch. Has sort of a cult following for the transplanted Pittsburgers here in KC. I’d choose it over some.

A very standard beer, rate this among the Coors, Bud & Miller beers, if this is the proud of Pittsburgh I would be ashamed of living in that city, swill at best

Al Bottle. Yellow body with a thin ring of bubbbles. Taste-holy burnt plastic, Batman! Are you kidding me? Tastes burned, scorched, and neglected! Not only does this taste like a bad macro, it tastes like a bad macro filtered through the remains of a burnt plastic factory! You guys are going to have to come up with a better gimick than a metal bottle...

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2005 Crap. Yellow with foamy white head. Smell of macro swill. Fizzy and watery and just plain awful.
