3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle purchased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (not sold in Louisiana). Iron City Beer has an almost nonexistent, white head, and a clear, golden-yellow, fairly bubbly appearance, and very little lacing. The aroma is a subtle grain, and taste is of sweet grain, biscuit, grass, and a touch of hop bitterness at the back end of the sip. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Iron City finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, and dry. Drinkability is quite high with this. Overall, I think it’s a good American-style lager, and I suggest you try it. RJT

Bottle. Pours a clear, apple juice-gold with a bare, white head. Ligt malt, corn and apple aroma. Swee flavor with faint dough and some light fruits. Light to medium in body with fizzy carbonation. Crisp and sharp in the finish, with some lingering apple notes. Light dryness. Not bad.

Great brew! I could picture the guys in the Deer Hunter drinking this, including good ol' factory workers after their shifts are done. Great flavor, goes down smooth, and won't put a hurtin' on the pocket book. Fantasticly done, Iron City.

Not a bad beer at all. About the best you can get for the price. Obviously not as good as a mediocre micro, but still better than the big names.

Nice production lager. More flavor than Miller Lite without the bitter edge of Budweiser. Would be an excellent beer on a hot day.

This must be Pittsburgh’s Natty Boh. I had this from a bottle in Deep Creek Lake, MD. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary. Scant flavors, nothing offensive and nothing rewarding. Very smooth and carbonated, and easily better than anything the big 3 puts out.
The high score comes from me expecting it to taste like garbage and being a Ravens fan, exepecting to hate anything made in Pittsburgh. I’ll drink it again when I’m in the area, hopefully while celebrating a Ravens victory at Heinz Field.

Iron City is a taste that is either acquired or inherited. In my case it was the latter. I liked it from the first sip and I’m from Pittsburgh. It must be genetic.
The smell is not exactly pleasant and the look is uninviting but its drinkability is great. I find it doesnt fill me up and is easy to throw a few back. Plus it is affordable.

Pretty average overall. Not a strong, unique taste, but solid and drinkable.
