Grassy nose, some cornmeal. Golden color with a decent head. Bitter stale biscuit flavor--not necessarily a bad thing. Nicely carbonated, with a not bad herbal sourdough finish.

Pours light copper from the bottle with minimal head and no lacing. Aroma is minimal, not offensive. Palate is O.K., similar to mainstream macros. Flavor is like Coors regular on steriods. Maybe a touch of MGD dumped in for the bitterness. Very unique brew for a macro competitor. If you happen across some give it a try. It has a metallic overtone to it also. Can’t decide if that is good or bad. It has a slighty dry, bitter finish. Not bad for an American traditional Lager.

A beer for the true man. A beer that embodies the city of Pittsburgh. This is a great beer that deserves much more respect than given by those outside the city of Pittsburgh.

Pours pale gold with a small head. Not much in the aroma or flavor. Thin and watery. Inoffensive, at least.

UPDATE: My first rating was from a glass. From a bottle, this stuff is absolutely horrid. All the above nothing coupled with a hint of vegetal sewage. (SHUDDER)

This is rubbish. No aroma, no appearance, minimal flavor, skanky feel. It’s only where it is because I’m a P-burgh sympathizer.

Disgusting. Not on par with the worst American brews (Budweiser). A friend and I were forced to have one at a Pirates game. I choked it down. He couldn’t finish. So bad we went without for the rest of the game. I can drink Lone Star over this. God awful!

16 oz. bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a golden yellow, with a head that quickly goes away. This one is okay, but nothing special.
