My wife, the beautiful Mrs. Porch, came home from work the other day with a gift for me. But it wasn’t from her. It was from one of her coworkers, we’ll call her “Alice”. Alice has heard Mrs. Porch talk about this site and wanted to contribute. (and we will accept most contributions if any of you feel compelled to give us some beer or cigars. ) : )

The beer: Augustiner Premium Lager from the Iron City Brewing co. in Pittsburgh Pa. I have to admit, I’ve not had a lot of Iron City beers, this may be the first, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I poured it in my frosted mug and noticed that it was very dark for a lager. More of an Amber color than the normal yellow you get from other lagers. It’s head was thick and foamy white. The bubbles were so small it almost looked like ice cream. It had very little aroma, almost none. But then again what lager does? It simply smelled like beer. The taste was a bit heavier than a typical lager, but not much. Just a smooth rich lager beer. It had a clean and crisp finish with almost no aftertaste. My opinion is that this is a good year round beer, but would be ideal for one of those summer afternoons at an all day picnic/cookout.

Thanks for the contribution Alice. It was very thoughtful of you to add to our site.
