Standard generic lager in appearance and aroma, and taste. Sweet like a soda. <$1/12oz

Pint. Pours clear yellow/gold with a small head. No lacing. Nose is weak..typical corn lager aroma. Taste is actually better than i expected. Very inoffensive, adjuncts are not overwhelming or pissy. I would take this any day of Bud, pabst, Coors, Miller or any of the typical crap macros.

Being from Pittsburgh, this beer scores higher for that reason. I can’t be un-bias when I say this is the best pale lager around (not that that says alot). This is a blue collar beer that tastes great in quantity while saying "yinz" and "dahntahn".

Aug 2007. An enjoyable treat from the east. Thanks Uncle Dave. Not bad for a mass produced beer, better then a Bud/Coors/Miller. Not available in Montana; and I like to have something from Pittsburgh when watching the pre-season.

VitaminR (540) - Colorado, USA - APR 26, 2008
Grassy nose, some cornmeal. Golden color with a decent head. Bitter stale biscuit flavor--not necessarily a bad thing. Nicely carbonated, with a not bad herbal sourdough finish.

drowland (3569) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 10, 2011
5/9/11. 12oz bottle. Clear golden color with a small off-white head. Sweet aroma of corn and green apples. Even sweeter flavor like milk-soaked corn flakes floating in apple juice. Meh.

Pours pale gold with thin white head and some lacing. Notes of straw and hay. Balanced taste, but weak.
