Poured from a can. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. Light, grainy aroma. Mild malty flavor that led to an obvious metallic taste. Hard to drink because of the metallic overtones. I like cheap beer, but didn’t like this one.

TheSponge (331) - Lynnwood, Washington, USA - FEB 20, 2008
16 oz. bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a golden yellow, with a head that quickly goes away. This one is okay, but nothing special.

weihenweizen (633) - West Virginia, USA - OCT 4, 2010
Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with little head, little lacing, low carbonation, and very little aroma. Taste is light malt mostly corn and finishes with a hint of hops. Taste is not bad, it could be a good session beer.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow with fast dissipating head. Aroma of adjunct and malt. Thin malty flavour. Almost no finish. Cheap, but not good cheap.

Aluminum Bottle. I had this at a friend’s super bowl party. This was the Pittsburgh beer versus the Seattle beer. Needless to say, the beer battle went the opposite direction of the football game. Pretty much same taste as all macros.

Heathen (1241) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - MAR 3, 2009
THOUGHTS: Not very good. A little rough to drink, but not as bas as I thought it would be. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light, clear yellow with nice carbonation and little white pieces like coconut shavings or confetti at the bottom of a clean glass. It also had a small, white head that fully diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was light grassy hops, cooked corn and light vinegar. The initial flavor was sweet; while the finish was sour and slightly bitter with a short duration. There was malt, lemony honey, grassy hops and water. The light to medium body was watery and then slightly dry with tingly to fizzy carbonation and a light astringent finish.

"Iron City is proudly recognized as on of the finest lager producers in the country"- Iron City brewing. I personally beg to differ this stuff is NG. That being said I grab a 6er everytime I’m in the Burgh for props to my old man. He grew up on this and Black Lable. This being the better of the 2 by a large margin

Bottle at primantis. Smells like a cheap beer. Tastes better than a Budweiser product. Malty with a yeasty finish. All around ok.
