Came in one of those bottle-cans. Very clear and yellow. Almost no head at all. Very uninteresting with very little hop character and some grain character, but not a malty flavor. This is one of those beers that fits very well into the "domestic american lager" category.

Thee-worst-beer-I’ve-ever-had. And it was on tap. Taken straight from the river. Smells like crap, looks like crap, and tasts like it was sitting in an old rusty metal bucket. The champagne of the Monogahela indeed.

In a bottle shaped can (or is it a metal bottle?). I was totally expecting a light tasting beer with not much to it but was pleasantly surprised by it’s body and depth of flavor. Aroma was a little off but the flavour was reminiscent of an abbey dubbel but with hints corn. Cheers!

Golden yellow color with almost no white head. Malty aroma. Malty taste with a metallic finish. Tastes like a frat party.

Light skunky aroma. Clear sparkling appearance. Does taste better than what it smells like.

This beer is to be blunt not good. Not worth it if you are going to go this cheap on beer, I think PBR is better. No head, pale yellow, and tasted kinda metallic. I honestly just drank this with a girl I picked up because she was hot and I just ordered what she had.

Wanna hear a good joke? Here goes.... "Iron City beer is a wonderful premium lager." Now wasn’t that funny? The pour has a fizzled out head with no retention nor lacing. It looks straw into the glass. The nose is a "spot on" trio of corn, skunks and burning tires. The flavors have lots of cheap sweetness, reminiscent of American Macro swill, with a touch of something that tries to make the hops build a more well-rounded brew. The finish doesn’t really exist, the body is sparse, the mouthfeel is watery with no texture. If anything separates this from a cheap macro, it’s by a thin margin. This is quite honestly a marketing ploy..... in the "cool" insulated metal bottles. Oh yeah, remember my joke at your next party.

Pretty horrid. I can’t detect what it is I’m smelling in this crap (banana? corn?) but it’s overly sweet, gassy, thin-tasting and non-beer-like. Utter crap, as you’d expect by its inspired name.
