Iron City Beer

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

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.

Mechanicsville, VA was the last place I thought I’d be drinking Iron City. But low and behold there I was splitting $3 pitchers of Iron City with old college friends watching the NFL. Average beer at best.

Poured from the sweet aluminum can. Pale yellow body with medium white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma of light sweet corn. Light, thin sour hop flavor. Not bad, but doesn’t really offer much.

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.

12 oz bottle from Trooper11 - thanks, I think. Clear light gold with a thin white head. Light, sweet bread and grass nose. Flavor is the same, lightly sweet bread and grass. Grassy light bitter finish. Better than expected, but I didn’t expect much. Body is far too light, but the taste isn’t bad. Minor edge on BMC.

On tap at Maiden in the Mist in Portland, OR--Poured a light straw copper golden body. Thin with a mild fizzy white head. Crisp and wavering, but with some hops presence. Diacytol yet refreshing overall. Nothing to write home about, but way better than the usual suspects in the shitty mainstream beer world.

Nice bottle, but otherwise very disappointing. Its yellow with a small white head. Overly carbonated. Smells sweet, mildly fruity. Tastes similar but really watery. Its thirst quenching- but then again, I’d rather just drink water!

Bottle, not too bad, pretty basic for a pale lager, tastes better than the bmc crap. Watery, with a slighty darker yellow color. Basic light matls, hops are non existant. Reminds me of drummond bros.
