Iron City Beer

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

Tastes like metal. Leaves no aftertaste in mouth. Beer was in an aluminum bottle, and tasted like it came from a can. If your going to put a beer in a bottle, it might as well be glass. Wouldnt drink this again.

bottle - A hard pour yielded a 2 finger, rapidly fading head on this clear yellow beer. It smells like mild malt and adjuncts. It tastes like sweet corn and other adjuncts. I’ve had worse and it’s not as watery as some. That’s as close to "good" as I can justifiably come with what’s apparently a favorite of many in Pittsburgh. It’s crap.

Aluminum bottle. Light golden color, looks thin and watery, head dissapated quickly until it all pretty much disappeared. Weak aroma, almost non-existant. Taste isn’t overly offensive, but also offers nothing of value either. Body is very thin, with some carbonation; it reminded me more of drinking mineral/sparkling water. On the plus side, the bottle has a picture of 2005 Hall of Famer Dan Marino, so I can only assume drinking this beer will allow me to accomplish his Herculean feats. Otherwise, this is just bad.

12oz aluminum bottle. Pretty much your standard pale lager, maybe a bit on the sweeter side.

I bought a six pack bottles for $2.99 in Southern Ohio. Poured the first cold one into a pislner glass. The aroma was faint hops scent. Little to no aftertaste. Flavor was very watery w/nothing special to remember. However, it served fine for quenching my thirst (ala gatorade) on a hot spring day. It was worth the 50 cents a bottle that I paid for it.

THOUGHTS: Not very good. A little rough to drink, but not as bas as I thought it would be. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light, clear yellow with nice carbonation and little white pieces like coconut shavings or confetti at the bottom of a clean glass. It also had a small, white head that fully diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was light grassy hops, cooked corn and light vinegar. The initial flavor was sweet; while the finish was sour and slightly bitter with a short duration. There was malt, lemony honey, grassy hops and water. The light to medium body was watery and then slightly dry with tingly to fizzy carbonation and a light astringent finish.

Malt aroma, a little sweet, some apple and butter notes.Golden color, almost no head. Grainy flavor with metal on the edges, rather bland. Tinny finish.

In a 12 oz Aluminum bottle (take the worst qualities of a can and make it into a bottle- brilliant)- poured thin transparent yellow, no head. Aroma, barely any, of malt. 1st sip made me think it was Budweiser- noticeable "wannabe" malt taste, no finish, goes down like water. Bad misuse of water...
