Rolling Rock is a 'pale lager' that has been brewed in Latrobe, Pennsylvania since the 19th century. It is a fairly cheap beer that can be bought almost anywhere where beer is sold. It is a mass produced beer, own by Anheuser Busch. Does Rolling choice quantity over quality, like many other mass produced beers?
Sight - Once poured, Rolling Rock appears to be a straight forward lager, similar to Budweiser or Busch. It has a large head, but you want to avoid the head with this beer. It carbonates very well, but this does not add much to the overall experience.
Smell - Every walked into a room where beer was left open and overnight? That smell is just like Rolling Rock, stale beer. At least you will not have to worry about the beer going stale as you drink it.
Taste - Despite the smell of this beer, the taste is crisp and refreshing, as long as it stays cold. It taste its best when first drank right after it is poured. There is not much more to it than that. There is no aftertaste, and the head should be avoided at all cost. Yet, Rolling Rock does not necessarily a bad beer for this, it is just simple and easy to drink.
Overall - Rolling Rock is a classic example of an American Beer that has withstood the test of time. It goes well with ballparks and hot dogs, anything that is American. This does not mean it is an outstanding beer, it is just easy to drink. No one really remembers how great Rolling Rock is, just that they drank it. If you are going for a cheap beer, Rolling Rock is a great choice.
2 out of 5 cheers!
