2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Flavor starts out good, but has a fairly watery finish. I like my American Standards to be more crip then this was crisp. But my biggest knock on this beer is it's high carbonation.

Bottle-When I moved to Florida 20 years, I had a co-worker that would always bring back this beer from Pittsburgh and would wait for the day he could return again to stock up. Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now. Typical corn lager, better than bud light.

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.

The new IC aluminum bottle hit town the other day and I just had to check it out. Poured medium gold in color with a mild malty grainy aroma and faint hoppiness. Light bodied, some maltiness and crisp in the finish, it’s a fresh batch anyways. Pretty average for the style, compared favorably taste wise with the big brands and generally a lot cheaper, although the new packaging was a bit more than the regular bottles. What the heck, give it a try, you can always use ’em for little bowling pins.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not a bad beer at all. About the best you can get for the price. Obviously not as good as a mediocre micro, but still better than the big names.

Nice aluminum bottle. Color was Light gold, with little aroma or flavor. Overall, not a very good pale lager.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Clear yellow with little head. Malty smell. Taste is malty with light hops with a strange metallic finish. I guess the name Iron city fits haha. Not horrible.

I had never heard of this brewery. I’m not sure how representative the Iron City Beer is of the brewery, but this was certainly not an impressive beer at all. *sigh* pale lagers still suck. Although it looks like this brewery does have a pale lager in the 95th percentile of its style. I’ll be on the lookout for more Iron City lagers in the future.
