Standard yellow, decent head/lacing, mild hoppy aroma. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy, then you get an overwhelming taste of corn, then the watery finish.

I finally broke down and bought one of these just because of the cool metal bottle. Unfortunately that’s all that was outstanding about this beer. Corn and grain aroma. Corn adjunct and grainy taste. Unpleasent roughness. Nothing here to make me want to buy another one. I will keep the bottle though

Clear light yellow color, heavy on the corn aroma, slight malt and adjunct initial taste which quickly becomes dull corn. The metal bottle is cool. Its nice to try beers like this once in a while to make us realize where we were before we got into fine craft brews

Aluminum bottle. Color and aroma typical of the rare American Pale Lager. Wispish white head, quickly fades to a ring. Mouthfeel is water, fizzy water. No flavor to speak of. How does one produce this effect?? To make something this damn bland requires effort.

The things I won’t taste to ensure a complete database or beer list! Iron City indeed; how do I flush the rust? Metallic, harsh, no appreciable aroma, no head, no lace, no good.

Premium Lager?? It pours yellow with a white head. Tastes of corn and malt.

I think The BeerOrg said it best with " If I’m drinking PA swill, it’s at least going to be a Yuengling." Very True. Iron City for me is sort of like Blatz. Watery corn beer with a sour aftertaste and nothing positive other than the kitchiness of it all.

Enjoyed during the AFC championshop game. Had a caramelly flavor that I thought was actually a nice change for pale lager. If you are swilling. Iron City will do in a pinch. Has sort of a cult following for the transplanted Pittsburgers here in KC. I’d choose it over some.
