remember seeing this beer as a kid withthe pittsburgh steelers on the can Gold colour, poor head retention, a few tiny bubbles stuck to the edge of the glass then totally vanished. Aroma was corny, a little grain. Very light in the flavour dept, weak citrus note, thin malt and corn. Thin body, average carboantion. Corny grainy clinging aftertaste

Being from da burgh you gotta love Iron City and IC Light. More of a novelty than a beer. Definantly drinkable though.

OK ... remember what this is ... a Pittsburgh Bud, even a Pittsbrugh Coors. As such, it’s not bad, and even in the 1970s my friends always preferred this to Coors in a blind taste test. A little thin in the mouth, not much malt, maybe some Bud-ish cost cutting corn. But at least it has some bitterness. I can drink this if I have to ... although the last one was almost 30 years ago, and the next one may be 30 years from now.

Interesting "can". It looks like a hair care product. Clear and golden with little head. Sweet and grainy aroma. Light bodied with a clean finish. Little in the flavor department but better than most American Premium’s.

Pours a rather ugly yellow color with a mostly dissipating egg white colored head. Aroma is mostly benign with a light corn syrup aroma. Flavor is likewise, begins with almost no flavor and finishes with sweet corn, like that creamed corn in a can stuff, yuck. Don’t be sucker of the slick aluminum bottle packaging. Pass on this unless you absolutely must have another rating. I do now.

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.

Tragedy in brewing.
