Well, for .99 cents how can ya go wrong, besides, it had a kinda cool little bottle. Well kinda just what i expected, a happy medium between HighLife and something slightly better. Light golden color with a small white head. Kinda no taste, or at least a lack of taste, but better than some crap beers. Wheres the 40’s of this stuff?

10/20/06: Pale lager from Steeler Country, had this many times in the past sampled a single for old times sake. Corny light scent, light gold pour minimal white head, crisp yet watery on the palate, typical swill taste. Blue collar beer for sure, used to be able to get this at one of my college hang outs for 50 cents a can.

Pours a semi-golden colour with a thick white malty top. Aroma is a little grainy with soft fruit like pears and hint of bananna. Taste is very dissapointing, metallicy, grain and finishes watery.

This was a tall grenade bottle. Pours a clear golden straw color. My sniffer cant pick up much with this and my taste isn’t getting much from it either. It’s very light on my tongue. Just a hint of roasted grains, and lots of water.

Clear yellow gold shimmers beneath a surprisingly decent head. Only a gentle stream of carbonation meets my eyes while his head lingers as a thin white blanket. A couple swirls produce no lace, but the thin blanket remains. A sign of good fortune? Bar syrup rears its ugly head in his nose followed by sweet dinner rolls, butter rolls, butter cream, and white bread. There is more meat to the white bread which thankfully resembles real bread and not the other stuff. The butter lingers in the background while dinner rolls and grains take center stage along with lingering notes of bar syrup. Nervously, I slowly tread into his golden yellow depths, shallow end first please. Sweet, but not nearly as much as the nose suggested. Butter rolls and butter cream coat my lips and tongue while creamy grains and fresh warm bread flesh out the meat of his palate. There is a small dry bite in the back of each quaff which helps cleanse the palate. Oh my goodness, we have hops! Mercy me! Peaking their nose around the corner, peach and orange esters nervously enter the scene. Further quaffs find buttery breads making pleasantries with the faint peach and orange esters while the finish develops a more bitter, pithy character than ends with a final kiss of dry grass.
If I had to, I could actually drink the Iron City Lager. Not my first choice by a long shot, but he held his own, a proud feat many have tried and failed.
