This is a really cool name for a beer ‘light brigade’. Another gem like the rest from Pittsburgh Brewing. Not a ticker though I’ve had this many times before. I actually come across one at my mother in laws house and thought I’d give it a fair rate after some ‘good’ beers. It is one of the low price leaders in the western PA region. I actually taste this with anticipation that it will not be great. Pours like a very nice lager with plenty of lacing. Light yellow, not quite lemon, color. White head stays with it. Has a simple yeasty beery aroma. I can’t stop looking at these hypnotizing laces. This is from a year old can, 12 oz pop top that is rather attractive with its white top can fading thru horizontal bars, to a black bottom sitting on a chrome hub. It has a rapidly fading flavor personality that comes on medium strong then goes light. Medium fine carbonation. Finish is not lingering and is reminiscent of many lagers. Does not have any hints of that old Iron City flavor, there is the hint of three rivers of flavor after the fade; Allegheny, Monongahela & the ohio! Another fine example from my local Pittsburgh Brewing. This has got to be one of the best buys in the world at 29 US cents per can. Makes me think of the old days when gas was 29 US cents per gallon.
