A very standard beer, rate this among the Coors, Bud & Miller beers, if this is the proud of Pittsburgh I would be ashamed of living in that city, swill at best

UGH!!! The folks rom Pennsylvania tried to make Nat lite and failed. Rotten beer, but the stout is something else.

Well, it looks like a macro lager, poured a clear yellowish golden with a fizzy white head, light carbonation. Had a faint nose, overcooked veggies and husks are the only aromas I care to detect. Softly crisp, thin, watery light bodied mouthfeel, for me, poor drinkability, mainly because of taste. Sweet grain husky and more cooked corn, but with a little sour cooked green vegetables, taste. Pretty bland tasting with a lingering sourness. Personally, I thought this was a waste of hard earned money, even if it is cheap, a poor macro lager. This has replaced Coors as my least favorite American macro lager.

12oz twist-off bottle. Side by side with IC light. Clear, golden pale. White foamy head. Appearance is typical of style. Aroma of of canned corn (salt added and very sweet niblets). Again typical. Roasted corn flavor, finishes with a hop stalk bite. I gotta vomit now.

You best be a STEELER FAN if you drink this beer. This beer has history but not a great a taste.

Tastes like rust and lead based paint. Ugh This is BAD beer. I was forced to drink this by my roommate that was from Pittsburgh. I sure hope people outside of NEPA don’t think this way about my local brew Yuengling Lager.

The only place I know where people actually drink this stuff is around Pittsburgh.

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and not much else.
