Aug 17, 2003 Updated: Sep 19, 2004Sweet, corny lager that's a distinctive regional favorite... the perfect beer to make boilermakers with for an ironworker (to drink after a hard day in the blasters). Too bad that's not Pittsburgh anymore...

Aug 17, 2003 Had this at a caving convention in West Virgina. My wife and her friend bought some for the menfolk. Worst beer I've ever had. After trying to drink it, we used it for mouthwash, washing dishes, etc..

Aug 12, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is moderately malty (bread, toasted grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), hint of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Well kiss my grits...I do believe they actually put barley in this! Not fizzy, almost no DMS stench, decent malt base, reasonably clean, and enough bitterness to make it drinkable. I dare say this is underrated.

Aug 9, 2003 Good golden color,small white head that faded quite quickly.I'm trying to find the aroma and just can't it's so faint that all i can say is that i think there is malt possible corn and maybe some hops.I was using the force to detect that stuff.The flavor is mild corn malt and mostly water with a few hops thrown in to keep them from being totally ill-legit.I have to say that it is some what refreshing but then again so is water.this brew will do in a pinch if there is little else around but i'm glad i just have the one to sample any more would be a drag.

Jul 22, 2003 Growing up, I thought this beer was good. That's before I had any other beer. Now I know better. However, I do drink it when I return to the Burgh'. I want to do my part to help the local economy. A little more flavorful than the mass produced lagers.

Jul 13, 2003 Updated: Jul 16, 2003If you visit Pittsburgh in the winter, be sure you BYOB. Or you will be faced with the task of finding a place that sells beer to go and the only place in the city that sells beer to go is a pub. Your choices will be: Iron City, Iron City Ice, Iron City Light and Budweiser.
That was my introduction to Iron City, and I have to admit that I kind of like this beer. And I love the extra large cans it comes in, a real invitation to severly adjust your attitude. It works for me.
