THOUGHTS: Not very good. A little rough to drink, but not as bas as I thought it would be. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light, clear yellow with nice carbonation and little white pieces like coconut shavings or confetti at the bottom of a clean glass. It also had a small, white head that fully diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was light grassy hops, cooked corn and light vinegar. The initial flavor was sweet; while the finish was sour and slightly bitter with a short duration. There was malt, lemony honey, grassy hops and water. The light to medium body was watery and then slightly dry with tingly to fizzy carbonation and a light astringent finish.

12oz twist-off bottle. Side by side with IC light. Clear, golden pale. White foamy head. Appearance is typical of style. Aroma of of canned corn (salt added and very sweet niblets). Again typical. Roasted corn flavor, finishes with a hop stalk bite. I gotta vomit now.

Do I really need to bother with a detailed description of another yellow beer with stank corn and grain aromas and boring ass nasty grainy flavors? Ok good, then I wont.

Bottle: Pale yellow pour slightly bright. fluffy white head and drippy lace. Definite grainy corn like aroma that I have come to despise. Malty, corn flakes, and light hop flavor.

Thanks to my co-worker Helen for bringing this back from Pittsburgh for me. Pours a very light yellow with a lot of visible carbonation and a proud snow white head. Aroma: Corn, malt some rubber(like the inside of a new plastic pencil case) and a tiny hint of unripe fruit. Flavour: Sweet, some definite corn notes, light malt, slight metallic finish. Not great but would drink it over say - Budweiser any day! Thanks Helen :-)

Pretty poor lager. Being from Pittsburgh originally, I’d like to support Iron City, but it’s just not that good. It’s a liite over carbonated, a little light on flavor/complexitity, a little sweet, a bit astringent, and overall a bit dissapointing. Better then Bud/Coors/Miller light, but not as good as Yuengling or (I C Brewings’s own) Augistiner.

Bottle. Clear yellow with little head. Malty smell. Taste is malty with light hops with a strange metallic finish. I guess the name Iron city fits haha. Not horrible.
