From a silver and blue 12 oz can. Ubiquitous color. Every tilt of the glass yields a small roll of visible carbonation, of course with very slight lacing. Has an almost processed rubbing alky aroma about it and that bouquet is mixed in with the typical Melanie cheap beer smells. Good quality tingly carbonation. Taste is bearable for this brand. It must be the water they use over there, allot of the Melanie brews carry that same discernable flavor. You know, the metallic processed background. Not nearly as bad as jaguar but it is still there. Not enough to trigger the gag reflex, yet. Fifty-four cents a can. Finish is manageable but it leaves a weird cardboard sensation unlike coors NA. This is a one time case deal. Unimpressive but cheap. Read Franks’s rating below. MIL CLASSIC LIGHT S3L1F3T4O9

heheheh. Sure, this is special reserve alright. Pale ubiquitous yellow rolling, for the most part, sparkling visible carbonation. Initially, not bad on the taste buds considering my previous experiences with melanie. Aroma is rather processed. Pretty good tingly carbonation on the palate. Does have that typical cheap city brewing flavor, must be the water they use out there. Rather coarse background, just barely acceptable finish. On par with the light but this is just a little more personality, but not in a negative way. Found this to be a little more enjoyable than the light version.

Expecting something better since this city brew is in a 12 oz twist off bottle instead of a can. Tea froth head. Darker than the ubiquitous pale yellow beer, has some brown in there. Perhaps it has a mild hard tack candy aroma. Rude alky plowing unlikely pennsylvanian manners on the tongue. Difficult without common courtesies. Nice story on the label but I wish it tasted as good. Sweet candy on old well water palate. Obtuse finish is coarse and somewhat rude. Low enjoyability factor for this lager lover. Probably would not purchase again. Atwater rost is tons better and more enjoyable than this.

Big City Beer - class, class CLASS! Makes me laugh thinking about it. The ultimate cheap beer.

Big blue silvery 16 oz can for 50 cents. Has a jag on the label of course. when popped, the aroma is somewhat like sewer and sulfur but that clears to an alarming sugary sweet olfactory that is nearly repulsive. Clear pale yellow with a pissy head. Weirdly sweet on the initial palate, somewhat like really cheap wine and seven up. Difficult at times as to with hold the gag reflex. On par with most of those cheap melanie brews, wew. it at times tastes like cheap whiskey was simply mixed in. Oddly not bitter, just quite rude. In someways, this stuff reminds me of barleywine, with it’s terrible sweetness. I normally associate bitterness with crudeness but this needs manners even without bitterness. Finish is just plain unrefined. Date code B5360628. I think this stuff was really old because I watched it for about a year on my local distributor’s shelf before it went on sale and I bought it. Overall, smells like sweet sewage and tastes like sweet sewage, triggers gag reflex on every sip and this is from a ubiquitous pale lager lover.

Rude and crude, but if you are looking for a good high buzz to cost ratio, this is it. Cheapest at my distributor for $8.50 for 24 12 oz cans. As with any other Melanie brew, this stuff is hard to swallow, metallic and processed. Gulp to avoid gag reflex.

Heheheh, Linus_Stick turned me on to this one, thanks Al! If you are familiar with the ubiquitous american lagers that City Brewing makes as melanie, you know the flavor of this beer. Smelly sweet corn with hints of sweetness for the olfactory. Rude crude american heartland industrial flavors, metal and all. Tho I respect the attempt at the name, I think I choose to defend myself against the lagers beers of melanie’s genre. This must be a rename of some other melanie beer. I hope this ain’t for the enjoyment of the troops, American lager from Iron City is much more palatable than this. Forget about it. If you’ve tasted Camo, this is just a watered down version of that. I must say however, I do acknowledge the fact that our troops everywhere are fighting for freedom. DO IT!!

Smells like cheap cream corn from a can, mixed with cesspool water. Big rocky head that fades. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color. Bold rude background flavors common of many melanie brews. You got to hold your nose to drink this one. A little better than many of melanie’s lagers but it still is offensive and difficult to deal with. We have enough cheap pale lagers from pennsylvnia, why do we have another? Rumor this is brewed in latrobe at the old RR plant. Gosh, I hope this aint from the glass lined tanks. Rude finish does not leave you wanting more, thank you.
