A very standard beer, rate this among the Coors, Bud & Miller beers, if this is the proud of Pittsburgh I would be ashamed of living in that city, swill at best

So I forgot to put this in after the Superbowl, when we decided to drink a Pittsburgh beer to cheer on the Steelers. I will say that the evening was not highlighted by the beer, but that the team seemed to do something noteworthy every time one of these was opened. It kind of became a double-dog-dare-you type of eveing with these baddies, but the Steelers did pull it off... Couldn’t figure out how to put that in my ranking, so I didn’t. Basically a mediocre corn beer. Looks like a corn beer, smells like a corn beer, bubbles like a corn beer, tastes like a corn beer. There is a decidedly unpleasant aftertaste that really made it tough to love. A little bit of the skunky taste was present in each and every can. Not recommended... unless the Steelers make the Superbowl again and you think that your drink selection might have some influence on the outcome of the game.

Pours the expected golden yellow with a quickly fading white head. Grassy aroma. Taste is that of a typical macro lager: grainy with rice, corn. However, it does have a little more malty sweetness and body than BMC. Thin and fizzy on the palate but to it’s credit, there’s a hint of taste on the back end. Not good, but not offensive by any means either.

Average gold body with good carbonation and a thin white bubbly head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with some flowery, herbal, and bready notes. Unexciting watery taste that carries some CO2 and metallic hints. Ends with an unpleasant metallic finish. The only cool thing with that beer is the bottle...

bready, yeasty aroma, typical lager aroma. Pours very light blonde with a thick white head, that does not last. Crisp and light, some honey malt and some noticable hops. Its still very light.

Pale straw yellow colour with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and lightly grassy with hints of corn. The body is sweet and grainy with hints of sugar and light fruity notes. Routine lager here.

Aluminum bottle in the Iron City. Pale gold, bubbly white head. Grainy, vegetal, a bit metallic. Thin bodied, not too harsh. Blah.
