Bottle. Clear, amber body with thin white head that rapidly diminishes. Notes of caramel, toasted grain, grass and nuts in the aroma along with hints of corn, canned vegetables and sulphur. The flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Light to medium body, thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Just short of drainpour, the vegetable notes in the aroma and taste, though slight, were enough to overshadow some of the better qualities — like the caramel and toast in the aroma.

Sampled on draft at Primanti’s this beer poured a dark amber color with a small white head. The aroma was sour, tangy, buttery and quite off. The flavor was sour, tangy and buttery. Awful.

Served at the Pgh Bottleshop Cafe in Bridgeville. This was in a big 16 oz aluminum bottle! Beautiful blue and silver label aesthetics. Date code is 1861. Pour is darker than your typical ubiquitous pale yellow lager, more brownish. No head, just a froth on top. Aroma is slightly sweet. Flavor has a slight tinge of bitterness. Interestingly industrial background qualities in there. Finish is non offensive, quite friendly and lagerlike. THis beer can easily be enjoyed, it lacks any hints of that tough Iron City. There are other economy beers out there that are much cheaper and just as enjoyable. Augustiner lager’s sister beer Old German comes to mind. Overall OK, but the taste leaves something to be desired after the looks of this beer were so darkish.

Copper coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of grapes, malt and a slight hoppiness. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong mettalic twang with a large malt presence and a small fruityness (grapes and raisins). Aftertaste bittered from the toasted malt and the metal. Overall, not very pleasant, but I knew that going into it! I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York and sampled it on 06-December-2003.
