Iron City Beer

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

On tap at Blue Palms of all places. Didn’t finish the sample size pour. Speaking of pours, it comes in the glass with no head over a pale yellow body. Aroma? All I could smell was soft malt-tea. Nothing else at all. Flavor of corn, grain, urine, butter, acetaldehyde, and adjuncts. Watery and fizzy. Blah.

Metal bottle version: Pours crystal clear gold with a thin white head. Tiny bubbles and almost no lacing. The aroma is pretty sweet but nondistinct. Light-bodied and actually has a tiny bit of malt and corn flavor. At least there is nothing offensive going on. The finish is short and almost flavorless, aside from a bit of grain and malt. Of the macro Lager type beers, this is one of the better.

Faint malt nose, golden amber, pours a finger of white foam and a trace of lace. Corn is the predominent flavour. Corn syrup stickiness. Poor.

Well, for .99 cents how can ya go wrong, besides, it had a kinda cool little bottle. Well kinda just what i expected, a happy medium between HighLife and something slightly better. Light golden color with a small white head. Kinda no taste, or at least a lack of taste, but better than some crap beers. Wheres the 40’s of this stuff?

Damn! My can musta rusted because this beer’s terrible! Wait a minute, I’m actually drinking from a bottle, so there’s no excuse for this horrible taste. I keep sipping the Edison Light Beer instead because by comparison, that tastes frickin’ delicious.

Légère présence de fruité en arrière goût. (Rating #697)

Clear and deep yellow with a patchy head and some lace. Mouthfeel wasn’t too bad: smoothish malts below, with a nice carbonation level above -- not overly fizzy, either. Malts were sweet, complemented by some chewy hops, carrying with them a slight bitterness. Somewhat of a flowery/herbal bitterness ... some of it aroma. A little DMS surfaces in the aftertaste. RERATE: Aluminum bottle. Texture was light, but it had a richness to it. Sythetically sweet malt base. Notes of popcorn, and a little DMS. Extremely mild bitterness.

Can. Clear golden, moderate soapy white head. Clean pale malt aroma... at least it isnt stinky. Grainy palate with a tinny metallic note in the finish. Not awful but pretty lifeless.
