Just another medicore American style lager. Might be good ice cold after mowing the lawn.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 23, 2004
Dark straw color with a fizzy big bubbled head that diminishes quickly. Industrial aroma. Corn and resin initially in the nose, but malt is detected with a full sniff. Some sweet malt and mild dry grassy hops. A touch over carbonated and slightwatery flavor. Actually better than I remember Iron Chitty.

Very true to type. Taste is more robust than most macro lagers. No surprises here. Aroma is malt with some hops. Appearance is golden with a thin head. Flavor is sweet and bitter with some corn. Palate is better than average for a lager. No complexity, but not bad.

clear gold and watery looking. no head. sweet honeyish aroma. flavor is sweet with honey, butter and malt. maybe a hint of toffee and citrus. really not too bad for a pale lager.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 27, 2008
Can. Clear golden, moderate soapy white head. Clean pale malt aroma... at least it isnt stinky. Grainy palate with a tinny metallic note in the finish. Not awful but pretty lifeless.

UPDATED: MAR 18, 2007 Well, you will probably notice my western PA. bias, but my friends and I just finished a quarter of Iron City and it did not dissapoint. Aroma is faint. Appearance is golden yellow with average white head. Taste is that of a decent lager..Straightfoward with a hint of sweetness. Finish is faintly bitter. Body is average.. carbonation is about right. Give Iron City a try.
