Rumor has it that Rolling Rock original recipe
is from the monk's beer recipe at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. Therefore, I cannot wait to try this beer
because I am originally from this town and I know monks make a great brew.
Appearance- It is the stereotypical straw yellow color that an
adjunct beer should have. A decent head
of foam formed that was about a finger and a half in height, yet it quickly
disappeared. There is a tiny bit of
lacing on the glass.
Smell- Right away an over powering grain and corn shoots out of this
beer. There is also a very grassy and
crisp element to it which actually is kind of more appealing than most beers of
this category of beer. I do smell the
malt in this beer after digging deep into the scent.
Taste- There is a high corn concentration in this brew. And quite honestly it has a sweet after taste
to it, which is not too shabby. If
placed on the front of the tongue a little bit of hops can be detected but
there is only trace amounts detected. It
definitely has the macro brewery taste to it.
Mouthfeel- Very similar to water.
It goes down incredibly smooth with little to no after bite. This is definitely a session beer for an
amateur beer drinker that does not like a lot of hops or IBU's
Overall, I would drink this beer again only if it was given to me
for free (then again I would drink any free beer). But I would recommend this to college kids
and not really any adults who make decent money. Rolling Rock just did not really impress me.
They must have changed the monk’s recipe. CHEERS!
