12 oz alluminum bottle. Pours a clear yellow color with a small white fading head. Aroma has a hint of wheat to it. Taste is very plain and watery. A typical lager.

Can w/ bottle shape. Plain, regular beer taste. Not much unlike most of the other pale lager type beers out there.

Plane sweetness in the nose, touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, sweet but shallow malt, slightly acidic, alcoholic medium. Short finish. Very simplistic lager, with noticeable alcohol which is strange for such weak brew.

Very pale yellow with a very small head. The body was filled with grain and a slightly sweet aroma. Not much to see here, move on..

I had never heard of this brewery. I’m not sure how representative the Iron City Beer is of the brewery, but this was certainly not an impressive beer at all. *sigh* pale lagers still suck. Although it looks like this brewery does have a pale lager in the 95th percentile of its style. I’ll be on the lookout for more Iron City lagers in the future.
