Aluminum bottle. Color and aroma typical of the rare American Pale Lager. Wispish white head, quickly fades to a ring. Mouthfeel is water, fizzy water. No flavor to speak of. How does one produce this effect?? To make something this damn bland requires effort.

The things I won’t taste to ensure a complete database or beer list! Iron City indeed; how do I flush the rust? Metallic, harsh, no appreciable aroma, no head, no lace, no good.

Premium Lager?? It pours yellow with a white head. Tastes of corn and malt.

I think The BeerOrg said it best with " If I’m drinking PA swill, it’s at least going to be a Yuengling." Very True. Iron City for me is sort of like Blatz. Watery corn beer with a sour aftertaste and nothing positive other than the kitchiness of it all.

Enjoyed during the AFC championshop game. Had a caramelly flavor that I thought was actually a nice change for pale lager. If you are swilling. Iron City will do in a pinch. Has sort of a cult following for the transplanted Pittsburgers here in KC. I’d choose it over some.

pours clear yellow with a nice white head. aroma is roasted corn and filth. smell is like the rat cage my brother had when we were kids(that rst killed my parakeet too)gah, this is bad, rough grainey flavor that has a burnt taste, leaves my tongue dry and unhappy it still tastes better than it smells/ sour overall that is not good.

Brown glass bottle. Grain and corn and cigarette nose. Flavor is wet corn and hay, grains and starchy ash and tobacco. Tastes awful, simply put.
