Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright caramel color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy with fruity hops and a metallic note. The flavor was bitter and tangy with vague fruity hops, a metallic note and light herbal hops. Medium length finish. Medium body. Better than I expected.

500 ml can thanks to Dan. Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. A light fruity nose. Light sweet fruit, earthy, biscuit, caramel. Pretty clean. Nice. Enjoyable. Would drink again. Certainly OK out of a big stein.

Rating found in old notebook 2014. 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. Overall OK, but the taste leaves something to be desired after the looks of this beer were so darkish.

Mini growler thanks to Dan. Pours a clear copper reddish color with a medium white head. A huge spicy sweet nose. The flavor is big sweet sugary spicy notes, cinnamon, huge cloves. Wow. Over the top. This should have an abv of 15 to be this big. But a fun beer.

Bottle, not too bad, a little more impact compared to yer standard fest but above average fer sure. Good co2 goes, down OK with significant interest. Typical fest brew from old latrobe. Has many of the positive attributes of a good fester.

Bottle marketplace. Rare beer. A little more orange than a pale lager. Big dull IPA impact on the nose. Look, let me tell you I hate IPA so reverse my numbers if you like it. First taste? A terribly bitter hop jaw smash nastily on style, bordering on double IPA territory. Yes, alky in yer face with the tongue twisting overly bitter pine tar & green grapefruit rinds, everything these hops are s’posed to be into. Quite a personality. You get your money’s worth of eye opening gullet filling excitement with this brew, especially if you are a lager lover, WHEWW. If you like IPA, and come across this, take it in for a one time beer tasting experience. Macro IPA, right out of old latrobe’s glass lined tanks. Thank you melanie.

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joe’s this beer poured a dark brown color with orange highlights and a medium sized foamy tan head that left decent lacing. The aroma was malty and toasty with a bit of fruit and a crystal malt presence. The flavor was malty with dark fruit, bread and crystal malt. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.
