Iron City Beer

Brewed by Iron City Brewing
Style: Pale Lager
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

De couleur blonde vers le dorée, peu de formation de mousse. Arômes de timide grains et de houblons floraux style Hallertauer semblant être soumis au mais et aux choux bouillis. Les flaveurs nous transportent au festival du DMS encore une fois, faible amertume de houblon en finale. Carbonatation piquante abritant un corps très mince. Ce n’est pas grave, la bouteille d’aluminium est très originale.

Pretty horrid. I can’t detect what it is I’m smelling in this crap (banana? corn?) but it’s overly sweet, gassy, thin-tasting and non-beer-like. Utter crap, as you’d expect by its inspired name.

Tasted in toronto. Tasted in english pint glass. Appearance is very light yellow, clear with thin head. Weak aroma, slight corn smell, slightly sweet scent. Watery flavour, thin, weak and not very good.

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)

Let’s get real here. Years ago this was what all tasteless, rotten, swill beer was compared to. Then all of a sudden it begins to somehow gain a favorable rep and a cult following. Although its been a few years since I’ve tried it, I don’t recall it being all that impressive. A run-of-the-mill American light lager similar to the rest of them. I doubt the Iron City brewers have upgraded the recipe all that much since. What therefore are the high ratings all about??

Being from da burgh you gotta love Iron City and IC Light. More of a novelty than a beer. Definantly drinkable though.

12 oz bottle. Its turning into swill night here. Bought a sixer for $4.99 at Total wine. Knew full well it was nowhere near a “craft brew”. Its sweet and mild cereal malts. No hops or bitterness that I can detect. Lawnmower beer on a par with PBR. At least its drinkable, and not as watery as a Bud Light.

Bottle: Looks like a normal beer. Has almost no head. Aroma is carboard. Taste is lacking, mouthfeel is decent.
