1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle at primantis. Smells like a cheap beer. Tastes better than a Budweiser product. Malty with a yeasty finish. All around ok.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Tasted in toronto. Tasted in english pint glass. Appearance is very light yellow, clear with thin head. Weak aroma, slight corn smell, slightly sweet scent. Watery flavour, thin, weak and not very good.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
UPDATED: MAR 18, 2008 Pours pale gold with a small head. Not much in the aroma or flavor. Thin and watery. Inoffensive, at least.
UPDATE: My first rating was from a glass. From a bottle, this stuff is absolutely horrid. All the above nothing coupled with a hint of vegetal sewage. (SHUDDER)
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
An underrated and underappreciated historical Pittsburgh brew. The aroma is mostly hops, maybe some light malt, and a bit of adjuncts. The appearance is a dark yellow-gold color with a moderate, bubbly white head. Taste is bitter and somewhat sour, with a hearty iron effect. Thin, somewhat oily, and only light carbonation. A great cheap beer that continues to stand the test of time.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Let’s get real here. Years ago this was what all tasteless, rotten, swill beer was compared to. Then all of a sudden it begins to somehow gain a favorable rep and a cult following. Although its been a few years since I’ve tried it, I don’t recall it being all that impressive. A run-of-the-mill American light lager similar to the rest of them. I doubt the Iron City brewers have upgraded the recipe all that much since. What therefore are the high ratings all about??
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: SEP 19, 2004 Sweet, corny lager that's a distinctive regional favorite... the perfect beer to make boilermakers with for an ironworker (to drink after a hard day in the blasters). Too bad that's not Pittsburgh anymore...
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Single bottle from Total Wine. Pours clear yellow with a mild aroma; taste is your average piss water beer with nothing special about. Extra deduction for being the beer choice of Steeler fans. Meh.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Typical pale lager look (nothing wrong with that.) Aroma of funky corn and wet news paper. Flavor is sweet corn, a little dry astringent / sour in the finish that may be hops. I like many American Pale Lagers, so I’m not dismissing htis out a bias against the style. It’s just a lack luster brew.
