Could we try a little harder please? Made with water from the ’Mon’. Favorite swill where I grew up. It would be better if they put as much imagination in the beer as they do on their cans.

Standard yellow, decent head/lacing, mild hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy, then you get an overwhelming taste of corn, then the watery finish.

I finally broke down and bought one of these just because of the cool metal bottle. Unfortunately that’s all that was outstanding about this beer. Corn and grain aroma. Corn adjunct and grainy taste. Unpleasent roughness. Nothing here to make me want to buy another one. I will keep the bottle though

Clear light yellow color, heavy on the corn aroma, slight malt and adjunct initial taste which quickly becomes dull corn. The metal bottle is cool. Its nice to try beers like this once in a while to make us realize where we were before we got into fine craft brews

bottle - A hard pour yielded a 2 finger, rapidly fading head on this clear yellow beer. It smells like mild malt and adjuncts. It tastes like sweet corn and other adjuncts. I’ve had worse and it’s not as watery as some. That’s as close to "good" as I can justifiably come with what’s apparently a favorite of many in Pittsburgh. It’s crap.

Aluminum bottle. Light golden color, looks thin and watery, head dissapated quickly until it all pretty much disappeared. Weak aroma, almost non-existant. Taste isn’t overly offensive, but also offers nothing of value either. Body is very thin, with some carbonation; it reminded me more of drinking mineral/sparkling water. On the plus side, the bottle has a picture of 2005 Hall of Famer Dan Marino, so I can only assume drinking this beer will allow me to accomplish his Herculean feats. Otherwise, this is just bad.

Pours with a medium white head on a pale golden-yellow body. Strong corn malt and hop aroma. Sweet cornstarch taste with a bit of sourness. Thin watery body.

12oz aluminum bottle. Pretty much your standard pale lager, maybe a bit on the sweeter side.
