Bottle. Not much aroma, just a bit of malt. Golden color with a decent white head. Thin bodied with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is rather clean malt and light hop. The finish is not quite dry, and just a little bitter. Arguably better than Bud.

The "bottle" is much nicer looking than the can in the picture. Mild creamed corn aroma with some light floral (hallertau?) hops. Clear golden body with thin ring of white head that leaves some light lacing. Creamed corn and cabbage with some floral lavender hop flavours and very subdued bitterness. Light body with moderate carbonation. Aluminum bottle sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Slightly dark gold color. Thin white head. The the aroma is malty with grass and the sweetness of pears. The taste is light and inoffensive. It has some dirt and a little bit of bread. Not much else going on.

At Pittsburgh Airport: Straw hue with a fizzy white head and fair lace. Aroma hinted of grains, cereal, toasted malt, perfume and grassy hops, pear and vegetable. Clean and crisp with light malt and hops combonation. No real DMS character, a good thing. This light-bodied brew is your run of the mill American lager, but refreshing enough to be my choice of drink at the burgh airport. You shut up troll.

Way too sweet-dextrose? Makes plain lager drinkable though. Artificial candy aroma. Appropriately carbonated.Thin mouthfeel. Not worth finishing bottle

Bottle/can (12oz?). Anyone else have a problem with "iron" city beer in an "aluminum" cottle/ban? Anyway, with a rough pour only managed a weak fizzy white head that disappeared before I put the opener down - I could smell the corn and skunk from almost 2 feet away (I have long arms). There’s grain, some stale hops, even sour fruit, but nothing I smell makes me want to drink. But it’s a rating ... tastes like overly sweet generic lager with no carbonation or real flavour. No linger, nothing. Not awful, but why not just drink tapwater?

Plane sweetness in the nose, touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, sweet but shallow malt, slightly acidic, alcoholic medium. Short finish. Very simplistic lager, with noticeable alcohol which is strange for such weak brew.

Bottle. Light gold color. Small head. Aroma is grainy, grassy, Cornish and sweet. A medium bodied lager. Malts are mild, fruity and sweet, corn and rice. Hops are mild and slightly bitter. Fairly neutral tasting beer. No really objectionable flavors. Not bad for a macro. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
