Iron City Beer

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

Not a bad beer at all. About the best you can get for the price. Obviously not as good as a mediocre micro, but still better than the big names.

Nice production lager. More flavor than Miller Lite without the bitter edge of Budweiser. Would be an excellent beer on a hot day.

This must be Pittsburgh’s Natty Boh. I had this from a bottle in Deep Creek Lake, MD. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary. Scant flavors, nothing offensive and nothing rewarding. Very smooth and carbonated, and easily better than anything the big 3 puts out. The high score comes from me expecting it to taste like garbage and being a Ravens fan, exepecting to hate anything made in Pittsburgh. I’ll drink it again when I’m in the area, hopefully while celebrating a Ravens victory at Heinz Field.

Iron City is a taste that is either acquired or inherited. In my case it was the latter. I liked it from the first sip and I’m from Pittsburgh. It must be genetic. The smell is not exactly pleasant and the look is uninviting but its drinkability is great. I find it doesnt fill me up and is easy to throw a few back. Plus it is affordable.

Don’t know what it is, but when you are watching the Stillers, nothing tastes as good as an ’Arn’. All ’Burgh bias aside, this mainstream-ish lager sure beats the crap from Coors or the like.

Funky shaped aluminum bottle courtesy of hopdog. Pours gold with a sustained white creamy head. Smells of citrus, nuts, apples, grapes. Tastes of nutty malt with some underlying corn starch sweetness. Finishes lightly peppery and nutty. One of the more flavorful pale lagers I’ve tried over the years.

This is a decent lager, kind of light and barleyish - kind of tastes crisp and refreshing, actually. It’s of course not great, but it *is* underrated. From Pennsylvania! My dad’s friend brought it down.

A steel bottle of beer? Really? Great idea, average pale lager. I have to admit, seeing a bottle made of metal was the main selling point. That and the fact that a single cost about a buck. Overall points for that originality.
