Iron City Amber

Dark amber appearance with a decent, soapy, white head. Somewhat foggy and opaque.

Sweet, rich caramel in the nose. Nothing more.

Taste is sweet with caramel malts, but a bit flat and muted. Splash of bittering hops. An odd, icy astringency. A bit thin and watery.

Caramel flavor is a little cloying. Not bad overall, but no where near good. Oh, and the re-packaged label with the near-naked lady on the front is just another example of pathetic pandering. Combine that with the fact that I was given a bottle of this by a distributor that was asked to hand out bottles to customers. Iron City must be desperate.
