Iron City Beer

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

Pours a rather ugly yellow color with a mostly dissipating egg white colored head. Aroma is mostly benign with a light corn syrup aroma. Flavor is likewise, begins with almost no flavor and finishes with sweet corn, like that creamed corn in a can stuff, yuck. Don’t be sucker of the slick aluminum bottle packaging. Pass on this unless you absolutely must have another rating. I do now.

Stupid aluminum bottle from the LCBO courtesy of HogTownHarry - shared with tupalev & jerc. Pale yellow colour, tiny head. Unoffensive macro-style aroma and flavour, with grain and corn notes. Bland, bland, bland.

Shared this can with Silphium at thedm and hotsuff’s place. Um, thanks for this one Matt. Golden in color with a monstous initial white head that died to nothing very quickly. A hint of malts and hops in the aroma along with a touch of fruitiness. But the corn and other "good" stuff dominates. Ditto for the flavor, corn, rice, and the mearest of hops and malts. I could actually drink more than one of these at a time, but I don’t think I would respect myself in the morning.

Brown glass bottle. Grain and corn and cigarette nose. Flavor is wet corn and hay, grains and starchy ash and tobacco. Tastes awful, simply put.

Mal3 rated this? Who knew the 'Burgh exported to Iceland? Anyways, this beer is not quite repulsive, but the joke around my town is that it's that good Pittsburgh water that makes it taste SO good. If you're out for a night in western PA and this stuff is cheaper than Bud, you can't go wrong. Then again, if you're out for the night and drinking Bud, you're already pretty far in the wrong. So, on balance, the price of this beer is its own recommendation. If you drink macrolager in the first place, this is an economical place to start.

Cool iron bottle... Aroma:corn... Appearance:yellow fizzy beer. Flavor:nothing interess....

pours clear yellow with a nice white head. aroma is roasted corn and filth. smell is like the rat cage my brother had when we were kids(that rst killed my parakeet too)gah, this is bad, rough grainey flavor that has a burnt taste, leaves my tongue dry and unhappy it still tastes better than it smells/ sour overall that is not good.

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.
