Pretty bad, even the Steelers replaced it as their offical beer, with Rolling Rock of all beers.

This is pretty much your run of the mill pale lager. Some malt fullness in the mouth. A bit grainy and somewhat raw.

This is the foulest smelling sewage I have ever encountered! Tastes almost as bad as the stench it emanates as soon as you open the bottle/can. This is pure garbage. Actually drank off tap a few times. Not good on the stomach. Proof that people from Pittsburgh have underdeveloped taste buds. Pollution in a bottle. Try at your own risk. Only reason people buy this is because of the name.

Pours a golden color with a carbonated white head. Taste like a macrobrew and is bad at that. Would never try this beer again. 12 oz. bottle

Pretty average overall. Not a strong, unique taste, but solid and drinkable.

ALUMINUM BOTTLE I found this beer to be much less sweet than Stoneys which we drank side by side during the Steelers win. However it had much less flavor too. It’s not quite as bland as I remember from years past, My guess is most all macros have cranked it up a notch.
