Pours light clear golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of corn, cereal malts, cider, DMS. Taste is bland, mostly unoffensive, still bad. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. If I’m drinking PA swill, it’s at least going to be a Yuengling. .

Aluminum bottle. Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of grains and grass. Flavor of corn and sweetener with a slight hint of malt. Even has a bit of hops bitterness in the finish. For the price, not bad but certainly nothing special.

ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - JUN 10, 2008
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a wispy, white head. Smell: Grainy, slightly sweetish, cereal aroma with one single drop of lemon. Taste: Cereal, corn fleck taste. Medium sweetness. Faintest floral hops and bitterness. More of the same till the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: So-so. Much to my surprise, I found I.C Light to be, okay, maybe not better, but more tolerable.

ucusty (2619) - Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA - FEB 2, 2009
Bottle: Pale yellow pour slightly bright. fluffy white head and drippy lace. Definite grainy corn like aroma that I have come to despise. Malty, corn flakes, and light hop flavor.

Stubby Pint bottle. Very traditional macro lager, remarkable only for the metallic (iron, eh?) flavor. Not too good.

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.

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.
