Pretty horrid. I can’t detect what it is I’m smelling in this crap (banana? corn?) but it’s overly sweet, gassy, thin-tasting and non-beer-like. Utter crap, as you’d expect by its inspired name.

Not a bad cheap beer. An old school approach to beer taste. A very good college beer. Higher end of the cheap beer scale.

The Lure:
Nice can. Malt husks are floating on top of the water I think, with some grass blades. Doesn’t smell awful, obviously made for chugging.

The Festivities:
Reeks of adjuncts (maybe corn?). Cleanly brewed thankfully, I may have even noticed hops. Urine dominates though, but very subtlely. The classic blend of bland and blond.

Transcendence:
Go Steelers (buuurrrp) go!

Standard. Yellow, milky white head. Had this from the new aluminum bottle. Musky aroma. Solid malt, like a brick building. Only for steelworkers.

Being from da burgh you gotta love Iron City and IC Light. More of a novelty than a beer. Definantly drinkable though.

bottle. cool aluminum bottle. golden straw body with a fizzy white head. lots of carbonation. corn aroma is prevalent and not entirely pleasing. flavour isn’t exactly offensive but one can’t really vouch for any distinguishing or interesting qualities. sweet malty flavour with bubbly carbonation. watery thin body. sub-par.

Not really any smell. Orange in appearance with no head or lacing. An ok light beer.

Iron City is the classic standard for a pittsburgher. If your not from pittsburghy you love it, if your from pittsburgh, you’ve already drank enough of it by the time your 13 to not ever want it again.
