Style: Pale Lager
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Aluminum bottle into a Snifter. Smells of barely nothing except for a light honey touch somewhere in there. The taste is very stale taste of the nose with corn, pale hops, and honey. Its just like every other horrible American lager, boring, not tasty, and bland! Thanks to Larry who brought it in for us though.

A metal bottle. Pours yellow and fizzy with a loose and unimpressive head. The nose is adjuncty. Yeast, bread, and oddly enough, I get a slight amount of fruit, but it’s not any sort of god fruit. The palate is again fizzy and harsh. I was being kind with my rating. The flavor is really weak too. immediately the yeasty light beer taste with some hints of malt liquoresque corn flakes. There’s some bitterness to this beer, but it might be from age. I didn’t like this beer, obviously. But big ups on the cool bottlecan. I wish more, and better, breweries would give this sort of format a try to preserve more delicate brews.

Going into this expecting the worst. Appearance isn’t bad. yellow, with a nice head. Smells of randomly cheap beer, but not terrible. Taste is actually not bad. It’s drinkable... and cheap as hell. Why not?

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2006 well i’ve had worse beers. being from PA it got some points but there is nothing redeeming about this beer. bad taste, isn’t to smooth.

Yellowish, golden piss water with a thin white foam. Smells skunked. Taste is poor malt and iron skillet. Like drinking polluted water out of the 3 rivers in Pittsburg. Stay away from this.

the best that river water and rotted hops can produce

Mal3 rated this? Who knew the 'Burgh exported to Iceland? Anyways, this beer is not quite repulsive, but the joke around my town is that it's that good Pittsburgh water that makes it taste SO good. If you're out for a night in western PA and this stuff is cheaper than Bud, you can't go wrong. Then again, if you're out for the night and drinking Bud, you're already pretty far in the wrong. So, on balance, the price of this beer is its own recommendation. If you drink macrolager in the first place, this is an economical place to start.

In a 12 oz Aluminum bottle (take the worst qualities of a can and make it into a bottle- brilliant)- poured thin transparent yellow, no head. Aroma, barely any, of malt. 1st sip made me think it was Budweiser- noticeable "wannabe" malt taste, no finish, goes down like water. Bad misuse of water...
