Saw this in a gas station cheaper than any other 6 pack they had there so I had to get it. Its on par with PBR or stag. Yellow,fizzy and corny. It is what it is and it is cheap.

So I forgot to put this in after the Superbowl, when we decided to drink a Pittsburgh beer to cheer on the Steelers. I will say that the evening was not highlighted by the beer, but that the team seemed to do something noteworthy every time one of these was opened. It kind of became a double-dog-dare-you type of eveing with these baddies, but the Steelers did pull it off... Couldn’t figure out how to put that in my ranking, so I didn’t. Basically a mediocre corn beer. Looks like a corn beer, smells like a corn beer, bubbles like a corn beer, tastes like a corn beer. There is a decidedly unpleasant aftertaste that really made it tough to love. A little bit of the skunky taste was present in each and every can. Not recommended... unless the Steelers make the Superbowl again and you think that your drink selection might have some influence on the outcome of the game.

Hmm, almost better than regular Iron City of all things! Very pale straw, no head, medium effervescence. Adjuncty lager smell, with hints of rice, a little pale malt, and maybe strawberries. Very clean and smooth, almost an easy finish but the hops rising in the back without malt to support them provides that classic ugly aftertaste so many dislike in cheap beers.

Fizzy white head on a pale yellow body. Light hops aroma dominated by corn. Strong corn flavor with a watery consistency.

Can w/ bottle shape. Plain, regular beer taste. Not much unlike most of the other pale lager type beers out there.

Aluminium bottle: Poured a pale yellow lager with a medium white bubbly head with good retention. Aroma of corn is clearly noticeable and very little else seems to pop out. Taste is refreshing with some malt presence and crisper hops then expected. Just above your average pale lager.

Bottle can at LCBO. Pale yellow lager with collapsable head. Sweet vcorn and rotten eggs in aroma, like Pittsburg smokestacks. Light malted mineral water, just as refreshing (considering the temp.).

Or "Arn city" as the locals pronounce it. Sampled from a 16 oz can - ice cold - as that is the only survivable way to drink this one. It pours a medium golden color with a large soapy white head. The aroma is sour macro tang. The flavor is your typical macro sour tangy loaded with corn. Uggh.

2005 can from Julio’s, consumed on 7/1/2005. Hmmm, this one seems about as yellow as IC Beer, though this one lacked any rapidly rising bubbles. More still and watery looking if that makes any sense. No head, no lacing, no anything. Clear. The nose did not have any soft fruit or light malts. Really just a mess of corn and powdered sugar. Unfortunately, you can’t even write this off as a bland, clean example. I note metal in the nose, which then carries through to the flavor. Huge amounts of water is what I mostly get, followed by metal and corn. Extremely sharp, biting, noxious carbonation creates a very unwanted mouthfeel. Light/extra-light bodied. Extremely quick lagering times do not good beers make.
