Pale golden yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of skunk, cardboard, funky malt and old hops-nothing good in this one! Light-bodied; Subtleties of sauvignon blanc in taste with a mild grapeyness, some light malt and a bit of fake sugars. Aftertaste is pale and unsatisfying. Overall, a bad beer but one I’d rather be drinking than any BMC product. Sampled after the Steelers lost in the 2004-2005 season. I sampled this twelve ounce ALUMINUM bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 02-February-2005.

Bottle: Looks like a normal beer. Has almost no head. Aroma is carboard. Taste is lacking, mouthfeel is decent.

Light straw colored, head is small and bright-white. Typical pale lager aroma: straw, wet hay, grass, and grains. Very mildly bitter with more grainy/grass notes. Non-offensive and clean.

I’ve read that Pennsylvania was looking for environmentally friendly ways to rid itself of the endless slag heaps left behind by its decaying steel industry. Take just one sip of Iron City and you’ll discover were the slag is going. Seriously, if your looking to turn your colon into a Superfund site, drink some of this crap. By the way, the character rescued by our hero "Michael" in the Deer Hunter didn’t loose his legs as a result of a fall from a helicopter while fleeing the VC. He lost them as a result of Iron City abuse. Interestingly, this is the same movie where Rolling Rock is praised as a "good beer." Oh the humanity!

A steel bottle of beer? Really? Great idea, average pale lager. I have to admit, seeing a bottle made of metal was the main selling point. That and the fact that a single cost about a buck. Overall points for that originality.

De couleur blonde vers le dorée, peu de formation de mousse. Arômes de timide grains et de houblons floraux style Hallertauer semblant être soumis au mais et aux choux bouillis. Les flaveurs nous transportent au festival du DMS encore une fois, faible amertume de houblon en finale. Carbonatation piquante abritant un corps très mince. Ce n’est pas grave, la bouteille d’aluminium est très originale.

The "bottle" is much nicer looking than the can in the picture. Mild creamed corn aroma with some light floral (hallertau?) hops. Clear golden body with thin ring of white head that leaves some light lacing. Creamed corn and cabbage with some floral lavender hop flavours and very subdued bitterness. Light body with moderate carbonation. Aluminum bottle sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.
