Draft at Horse Brass Pub, Portland, OR. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty grainy corn aroma. Sweetish grainy corn flavor. Has a sweetish finish with some grainy hints.

The benefit of having a pale lager in an aluminum bottle is that you know it’s not going to be a skunky pale lager. This one is alright, keep it as cold as possible and don’t pour it out. If it warms, you get more of that bad corny flavour and if you pour it out you would imediately be disappointed by the weak colour and flavour.

this is not a good beer, at all. pours a pale golden with a large white head. an aroma of corn and malts, the taste is also of corn and malts, nothing great. this beer is very boring and watered down, drinkable? yes, but i could find macros just as good.

I’ve had worse but not very good at all. Although, I love the burgh im not a big supporter of this one, i’de much rather drink an I.C. Light

Can w/ bottle shape. Plain, regular beer taste. Not much unlike most of the other pale lager type beers out there.

Very pale yellow with a very small head. The body was filled with grain and a slightly sweet aroma. Not much to see here, move on..

With Iron City now gone, not sure exactly who is making this beer, but I have a feeling it’s The Lion Brewery in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Having said that, the beer is the same as it ever was; average. Pours a light yellow with a thin, white head that doesn’t last too long. Carbonation is a bit high, making this appear more like a cream soda than a beer. Light malt aroma with a hint of corn. No hops detectable in the nose, and there is a slight metallic taste in the background, despite this beer coming from a bottle. I found the beer a bit too average for it’s price here in New Jersey - It was found it in two locations, both were $5.99 a six pack. Price aside, it’s not the worst beer I’ve ever had by a long shot, but not the best by a long shot either!

A metal bottle. Pours yellow and fizzy with a loose and unimpressive head. The nose is adjuncty. Yeast, bread, and oddly enough, I get a slight amount of fruit, but it’s not any sort of god fruit. The palate is again fizzy and harsh. I was being kind with my rating. The flavor is really weak too. immediately the yeasty light beer taste with some hints of malt liquoresque corn flakes. There’s some bitterness to this beer, but it might be from age. I didn’t like this beer, obviously. But big ups on the cool bottlecan. I wish more, and better, breweries would give this sort of format a try to preserve more delicate brews.
