I’ve been looking forward to Iron City for some time now. It’s classic bad beer. Smells like a can of chiles verdes for some reason. Corny, bland, underhopped. The light version is actually better. Rotting the livers of blue collar men since 1861.

Golden colored beer with a foamy white head. Weak aroma, slightly hoppy. Hoppy and flowery flavor with something undefineable in the finish.

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a wispy, white head. Smell: Grainy, slightly sweetish, cereal aroma with one single drop of lemon. Taste: Cereal, corn fleck taste. Medium sweetness. Faintest floral hops and bitterness. More of the same till the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: So-so. Much to my surprise, I found I.C Light to be, okay, maybe not better, but more tolerable.

Bottle, lcbo. Yellow, thin white head. Corn aroma. Corn taste. Pretty bad. Harsh. Watery. Slightly sweet. Nope!

Could we try a little harder please? Made with water from the ’Mon’. Favorite swill where I grew up. It would be better if they put as much imagination in the beer as they do on their cans.

Stupid aluminum bottle from the LCBO courtesy of HogTownHarry - shared with tupalev & jerc. Pale yellow colour, tiny head. Unoffensive macro-style aroma and flavour, with grain and corn notes. Bland, bland, bland.

Pale golden yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of skunk, cardboard, funky malt and old hops-nothing good in this one! Light-bodied; Subtleties of sauvignon blanc in taste with a mild grapeyness, some light malt and a bit of fake sugars. Aftertaste is pale and unsatisfying. Overall, a bad beer but one I’d rather be drinking than any BMC product. Sampled after the Steelers lost in the 2004-2005 season. I sampled this twelve ounce ALUMINUM bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 02-February-2005.

12oz can, labeled as Olde Frothingslosh, courtesy of hopscotch (via argo0). Thanks, guys! Pours a hazy, whitish-yellow color; white head with patchy lacing. Light citrus and sugar in the aroma; nothing offensive. Light-to-medium mouthfeel: grapey upfront, with some sugar and average carbonation. Quick, slightly grapey finish.
