The bottle says "Premium Lager", that with the 4% rating I am overcome with anticipation of what’s to come.....here goes. Small foamy white head leaves a bit of lacing atop this crystal clear yellow brew bubbling with goodness. Aroma is musky maltiness like ripe grapes. A bit peppery, kind of watery, medium bodied, not as malty as IC Light, but underlying malt is apparent. Notes of light fruit with peppery burn on the back of the throat. Good beer to serve to persuade an uninvited guess that he has overstayed his welcome.

Funky shaped aluminum bottle courtesy of hopdog. Pours gold with a sustained white creamy head. Smells of citrus, nuts, apples, grapes. Tastes of nutty malt with some underlying corn starch sweetness. Finishes lightly peppery and nutty. One of the more flavorful pale lagers I’ve tried over the years.

12 oz aluminum bottle. Golden yellow pour with small white head. Aroma is faint, flavor is better than your typical large commercial brewer stuff, but weak for a smaller brewery. Good deal for the price though.

Let’s just say that the old "You can’t keep an iron man down" says alot. Pennsyltucky proud to say that I have consumed my fair share of this while getting the degrees in western PA. You haven’t suffered unless you have had an iron man hangover. Swill that is very close to my heart.

A 12 oz aluminum bottle with no made on or freshness date. The body poured a golden yellow with a small white head that disappared very quickley. The smell is faint an of grain. Taste is weak and not very tasteful, carbonation is good had goes down easy. A every day drinker that is not rich in taste but is easy to drink on a hot day or to just get drunk.

Being from Pittsburgh, this beer scores higher for that reason. I can’t be un-bias when I say this is the best pale lager around (not that that says alot). This is a blue collar beer that tastes great in quantity while saying "yinz" and "dahntahn".
