Not a bad beer. Beats Bud and Coors with a nice flavor with some bitterness. Great for summer and watching the game with your pals.

Drank it because it was a local favorite. I was never that thrilled with it. About the same as the average AB product.

I think you have to have grown up on this stuff to have a real appreciation for it. Certainly not my everyday beer, but when I’m back in the ’Burgh for a Steelers or Pens game, I’m going to Pump an Arn!

Ok, honestly, this beer (and any beer like it) gets bonus appearance points for the aluminum bottle. Didn’t expect much from this beer, but was pleasantly surprised. One of the better lager’s I’ve had in a while.

In my opinion this is one of the best mass produced American beers. It does not come close to holding it’s own against a good craft brew or a specialty beer but it sure beats Bud or Miller.

Bottle, pale, clear, sparkling, typical mass produced lager. As a micro/hoppy drinker I find this to be close to seltzer water. $1.49/12oz

Everytime I pull one of these cold ones back, all I can think about is sitting at Moe’s, pulling up a stoll between Homer and Barney. It’s a blue collar beer, with a crisp, dry mouthfeel and slightly sweet palate. Pairs best with gravy fries and shots of cheap whiskey.
