Bottle. Light gold color. Small head. Aroma is grainy, grassy, Cornish and sweet. A medium bodied lager. Malts are mild, fruity and sweet, corn and rice. Hops are mild and slightly bitter. Fairly neutral tasting beer. No really objectionable flavors. Not bad for a macro. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

The things I won’t taste to ensure a complete database or beer list! Iron City indeed; how do I flush the rust? Metallic, harsh, no appreciable aroma, no head, no lace, no good.

I used to drink IC Light all the time in college, and I prefer it to regular IC. This one always seemed to have a metallic taste, but it was still head and shoulders above BMC shit.

I bought this for the cheese value alone. Plesantly suprised! It yellow with the big fizzy white head of course. Flavor is actually quite tame. Not great mind you but its a better lager than BMC. Had a very small touch of hops and no real bitterness. Go ahead and try it.

Bottle pours pale yellow, quite translucent, small milkish white head, spotty lacing, with subtle carbonation.   Aroma is very corny, VERY corny.   Flavor is fairly non-existant... light straw.   Finish is really lacking, same straw but perhaps with a bit of sweet grass.   I’m no real fan of Pale Lagers but this wasnt too bad... definitely a lawn mower beer, but not bad.   Nothing to get excited about, thats for sure.   The aroma just killed me tho...

It sort of smelled like beer. Tried it on a recommendation from a college friend who always drank this. I’ve had light beers with more taste. It was pretty watery, but if I think this is one of those getting drunk beers.

I’ve been looking forward to Iron City for some time now. It’s classic bad beer. Smells like a can of chiles verdes for some reason. Corny, bland, underhopped. The light version is actually better. Rotting the livers of blue collar men since 1861.

Premium Lager?? It pours yellow with a white head. Tastes of corn and malt.
