Pittsburgh Brewing must be pushing west. I found this at the Pick-N-Save in Milwaukee. $10.99 for a 30 pack on 03/22/2004. Nice color; deep yellow. Not dark or orange, but not watery yellow. Fair aroma. Lots of flavor, bold, but not overall good. That is to say, it's not watered down, I'm just not overly found of the taste. Kind of a funny- malty/stale yeast taste. I'm so used to American beer being watered down, then I find one that ain't and I don't really like it. But I don't exactly hate it either.

This was do-able for a mass produced lager. Nothing offensive in the taste. Pretty clean and straight foward just nothing in the taste dept. I could see this for a night of swilling, if thats the goal

On tap at TGI Friday's at Pittsburgh International Airport. Clear golden color with little or no head. Light aroma. Crisp, watered down, typical American Standard. Nothing overly special about this beer.

Flavor starts out good, but has a fairly watery finish. I like my American Standards to be more crip then this was crisp. But my biggest knock on this beer is it's high carbonation.

haha the can says it all with this beer- bland, not very good, beer. if you could find a beer in a can that was white with black letters that said nothing but "beer" this would be that beer.

I guess you could say that this is toward the upper end of the mass produced crap that's out there (Bud, Miller, etc.). It's drinkable, but by far nothing special. If you're going to drink this, you might as well go for the IC Light - it tastes about the same & has less calories and less carbs.

Not really any smell. Orange in appearance with no head or lacing. An ok light beer.

[bottle] Pale gold color with good white head. Mild malty aroma with a good initial malt taste. A bit watery but good and smooth to drink. Folks, people complain about it, but you cannot beat this beer. This was brewed for German steel workers. It may taste odd, but it is an acquired taste. Give it a chance.
