Today's Beer: Rolling Rock Extra Pale by LatrobeI try not to judge beers based on their bottle or can. So when I saw this I thought 'great, I like pale ales.' I took it outside to enjoy my beer in the warm sun.
The first thing I saw when I poured this beer is that it is pale yellow. This does not bode well. This doesn't look like a pale ale. I took a sniff and got a fairly good smell of citrus. Things were looking up. Then I took my first sip. Then took another larger sip, almost a swig, just to make sure I had actually gotten some in my mouth. This beer has almost no taste what so ever. None. Eventually I did detect a tiny amount of hops and malt, but it was like some one had dipped a tea bag in to the brew and taken it right out again, lest too many flavours be imparted. This beer is touted on the can as a premium beer. If this is their idea of a premium beer, I'd hate to try their regular beer. There is almost no carbonation present in this beer. This is a pale yellow liquid that is trying to pass itself off as beer. Very disappointing. The rating of a 1/2 glass is only because that is as low as my scale goes.
Rating:
May your glass always be full of good beer!
