Light straw colored, head is small and bright-white. Typical pale lager aroma: straw, wet hay, grass, and grains. Very mildly bitter with more grainy/grass notes. Non-offensive and clean.

I just sort of naturally assumed it would completely and utterly suck, but really isn’t all that bad. Clear gold. Nose a bit grassy, some doughy malts. Flavor is reasonably smooth, not skunked, and chock full of corn, but not unpleasant or harsh in any way. Granted, I was tired and hot after shoveling dirt into a garden box, but all-in-all I could actually drink this on a hot day without too much trouble.

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.

Slumming at Dan's bday party -- upon arriving Dan offers me this gem of a beer, in anticiaption of #2K. Clear straw body with small-medium white head. Aroma is light, bready, grassy. Taste is the same -- innocuous and non-offensive. Light body. Not as bad as I feared.

I bought this beer thinking that it probably was not very good. I was proven correct.

Well, this beer is not for the light at heart or those with good taste buds. Being from Pittsburgh area, I have grown fond of the Iron Shitty, I mean City beer. My fathers calls it one of his "rhott gut" beers. No Steeler game is complete with out a case of this blue collar beer.
