Pours dark gold with a small head. Aroma is weird. Tastes like stale hops with a bit of mold. Leaves a strange aftertaste in the mouth. Carbonation is sharp. Not what I expect from a classic.

I bought a six pack bottles for $2.99 in Southern Ohio. Poured the first cold one into a pislner glass. The aroma was faint hops scent. Little to no aftertaste. Flavor was very watery w/nothing special to remember. However, it served fine for quenching my thirst (ala gatorade) on a hot spring day. It was worth the 50 cents a bottle that I paid for it.

I wish I could give this hometown beer a better rating! Bland and sometimes skunked flavor! Although I will admit, on a tour of the brewery, I tried it straight from the source - one of the most amazing hoppy lagers ever! Too bad it doesn't taste like that from the bottle!

Sorry Pittsburg, the company that gave us the first light beer, the first aluminum canned beer and the first 30 pack makes crappy watery beer. Maybe you could use this stuff to kill slugs in the garden, but that would be cruelty to animals.

Not too bad, but I actuall like IC Light better. This is what I would call a "burger beer." It is not rotgut, but it’s nothing special. Then again, when in Pittsburgh, it would be silly to drink Bud or Miller when this is available.

Came in one of those bottle-cans. Very clear and yellow. Almost no head at all. Very uninteresting with very little hop character and some grain character, but not a malty flavor. This is one of those beers that fits very well into the "domestic american lager" category.
