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.

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.

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.

UPDATED: JUN 29, 2007 What can you say, From a can. Poured gold with little head. Nose of mild hops, and flavor is mild malts. Reminds my of Bud, but slightly better. The touch of bitterness is its best feature. Good for the price.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear golden straw colored beverage with a small fizzy white head that was completely gone in 60 seconds and left no lacing on the glass. The aroma was somewhat complex and clean. It presented bread dough, notes of banana and straw with a hint of hops in the background. The body was light and refreshing with lively carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor started off lightly sweet with hints of banana. The finish is rather short. The sweetness lingers through the finish with no crispness or bitter aftertaste. Not as bad as I was led to believe.

Lemons and a bouquet of flowers. Light hops very airy fragrance. Golden yellow head very light with no retention. LIght citrus hops with a hint of spiced malt. Very light watery mouth feel so light there is no after taste. I might as well just drink water. If I was in the desert I’d rather drink sand. Still in all I love the cold aluminum can bottle. I'll reuse it again:^) ............
