Light but overwhelmingly "something." Some hops, corn, chemicals. Doesn’t finish or taste clean. Hard to get down. But it’s local and its legend. And it has a mystique. I’ve visited Pittsburgh many times and most tavern-goers are very loyal to it. If you are drinking it in that great city it tastes like mother’s milk.

A 12 oz aluminum bottle with no made on or freshness date. The body poured a golden yellow with a small white head that disappared very quickley. The smell is faint an of grain. Taste is weak and not very tasteful, carbonation is good had goes down easy. A every day drinker that is not rich in taste but is easy to drink on a hot day or to just get drunk.

Apparently people from Pittsburgh love this stuff. But, apparently people all across the U.S. love Bud Light too. So, let’s get to the heart of the matter concerning Iron City. It’s a bland, light-style lager with a not so friendly watery taste. As a result it’ll make you burp and make your stomach feel full. Hard to differentiate from any mass produced, worthless lager, Iron City is best left on the shelf and not in your glass. Boring.

Nice aluminum bottle. Color was Light gold, with little aroma or flavor. Overall, not a very good pale lager.

Golden color with a white head that fades away. Slight hops in the aroma. Moderately sweet flavor with a hint of corn Another hint of hops in the finish. Drinkable and an alternative to the big guys.

Bottle...a regular American lager. A pale see-through yellow color, a little fiz. Really no nose, a hint of grain. No hop taste to speak of an easy drink but ni flavor a massed produced lager hiding under a craft flag

pours a light yellow color, with a fluffy white head. the aroma is grain, yeast, and not much else. the flavor is little to none. and for what there is, its grain.. i think its is comparable to pbr. overall, this is not that great (iron $hity)

A very average beer from the labeling to the taste. That might have been what they were going for. It’s what you would expect, light and watery with a grassy aroma.
