Bottle on 09/27/2008. Very clear pale yellow body with a small frothy white head. Corn and grain aroma. More corn in the flavor with some honey hints and a grainy finish. Very light body with rather high carbonation.

Excessively pale. Smell takes me back to China - this beer is so watery and grainy it could be Chinese. Tastes the same. Too weak to complement uncooked ramen. Assy.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow with fast dissipating head. Aroma of adjunct and malt. Thin malty flavour. Almost no finish. Cheap, but not good cheap.

12 oz can with a blue label and red/white accents. Eagle too! Found this at a distributor in Robinson, near Pgh. $12 for a case of 24, that makes it 50 cents a can. I could not wait to taste this, I thought they quit making it, perhaps they did. Date code "brewed by Pgh Brewing Company" and they are defunct. Been owned by Iron City Brewing for at least a year now? I already tasted American and American Light from Pgh brewing and found those cheap PLs acceptable. I think this is the cheapest of all ice beers and its local! Oddly reminiscent aroma of a quad Trappist I had lately, way! Difficult and rather harsh initial flavors somewhat like the better City Brewing PLs. You can taste some of the Iron City influence in there. Cheap pale yellow ubiquitous appearance. Some bubbles arising. Odd processed flavors a little more than you’d find with American Lager. Stronger, yet not repulsive for a cheap ice lager. Difficult at times but it does not come across as aged lager. Seems to have a hidden higher alky personality about it. More palatable than most cheap ice brews. Finish is almost watery, yet has a processed mundane punch that lingers unlike a bitter hopped beer. Does the job. Sometimes the age of this beer shows thru with a little sickening sweetness in the background which perhaps approaches the negativities of City Brews. I have about 20 cans of this FT! Contact me via BM. Heheheh S4/L1/F2/T5/08

Bottle....pours light yellow with a small head. Tastes like a watered down beer. Very little taste, next to no bitterness. Crisp and clean finish.

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.

White 12 oz can. A pale yellow american lager by appearance. Very little visible carbonation in the glass. Tea froth head. Aroma is just plain clean, slightly sweet and beery, not bad and it don’t have any offensive odors. Initial taste is just a tad, shall I say, tart, but not tart in a a sour beer way. Its just off from the typical pale lager flavors. It does seem to have more personality than most light beers and if I didn’t know by the label, I’d say it was not a light beer. Easy to drink and easy to appreciate.. Good carbonation on the palate. Overall i was surprised to find this beer, been looking for it for a while and all of a sudden there it is at my distributor. Not bad, but could have just a few more manners. Finish is not offensive and it is friendly for the most part. Decent session brew but perhaps slightly dull.

White 12 oz can from a $14/24 case. A little more golden than I expected. Doesn’t smell bad, like most cheap lagers do. Taste is clean but slightly metallic and processed. At times it has a sort of unsweetened slaggy background. Good carbonation. Mild industrial finish, easily repeatable. Decent pale lager session brew.
