Iron City Beer

Brewed by Iron City Brewing
Style: Pale Lager
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Below average. Golden colour. No special taste. Will be forgotten pretty fast.

Pours a rather ugly yellow color with a mostly dissipating egg white colored head. Aroma is mostly benign with a light corn syrup aroma. Flavor is likewise, begins with almost no flavor and finishes with sweet corn, like that creamed corn in a can stuff, yuck. Don’t be sucker of the slick aluminum bottle packaging. Pass on this unless you absolutely must have another rating. I do now.

Golden colour. White quick to go head. Musty adjunct ridden corn aroma and flavour. Sweet grossness. Dry palate. Not a very good beer in anyway.

12 oz aluminum bottle-pours a thin white head. Taste is good, mild flavor. Nice finish.

this is not a good beer, at all. pours a pale golden with a large white head. an aroma of corn and malts, the taste is also of corn and malts, nothing great. this beer is very boring and watered down, drinkable? yes, but i could find macros just as good.

Well done aluminum bottle. Pours with an abundant head. Nice sparkling golden appearance. Aroma is not pleasant. Corn and hopless. While no flaws were apparent. It seems like a lot of work for something mediocre at best. If you have the brewing equipment and the malts available and it’s not going to cost any more and it may increase your potential market, why not cut out the corn and adjuncts and do something interesting like adding a touch of wheat, or Saison du Pont yeast?

Another poor beer. Fizzy, little/no hop character. Somehow manages a bit of skunk, even though it’s an aluminum bottle. Tasted like dirty dish water and look thin and weak.

2005 new aluminum bottle from Julio’s consumed on 7/1/2005. Finally! I’ve waited so long for Iron City to be distributed in Boston. I’m so excited!. . . . er, wait, no, no I’m not. Ahem, the beer pours with a cornfield yellow body, huge bubbles rapidly rising within. Fizzy head to ring, no lacing. Very clear. In the nose I get a bit of apricot, corn meal and shortcake. Light lager yeast as well. Flavor has more bready shortcake, light pale malts and a touch of sourness on the end. Decent body, at least, with malt sweetness not drowned to death in water. The huge bubbles give a very aerated, not sharp, feel to the palate. Some slight bitterness on the end, not really enough to figure out what it is. I assume it is some attempt at hops. Very light, lots of water in the beer, though it’s not really that thin. Some breadiness lingers, a touch of fruit and sugar. Clean, drinkable when chilled. Now if we could only get some Yuengling out here. . .
