Using a time-honored recipe with only the finest malted barley and blend of hops, Rolling Rock is a classic American lager that is as well-known for its distinctive, full-bodied taste as it is for its craftsmanship, heritage and painted green bottle.
Full-flavored, with a subtle bite. Light-to-medium body and color. Brewed with only the choicest ingredients; a perfect blend of pale barley malt, rice and corn.

Great underrated beer. I loved these in college. Easy beer to slam down and a great tasting beer. I get hints of green apple even with this beer. If u are at least 10 beers down u will get green apple with this beer. Im impressed na will continue with this beer.

This is a great beer. Very balanced. Not too sweet like most mass market American beers. It has a light effervescence without the off flavors of most light beers. I know it’s not a light beer. This over yuengling, PBR, bud, coors or miller all day everyday

I first tried Rolling Rock after watching the movie The Deer Hunter. The beer is featured a lot in that movie. Anyway I got it the other day and this time I decided to pour it into glass , and it looks like a lager however it it is very pale and yellow and clear. When I poured it a poured it at a 45 degree angle until a got to the top and I had a nice head of foam. The foam head disappeared rather quick though. I smelled it and got some malt notes of sweetness but the hops seemed subtle. I now drank it and got to say and was nice and crisp and felt great in the mouth. The hops weren't not overwhelming and the maltiness of the beer was nice and tasted sweet. Overall this is a really great cheap beer and I would buy it again.

If you're a real degenerate you'll add a shot of fireball on top. Tastes like cream soda.

12 oz. can pours a light golden/yellow with average white head that sticks around and leaves some lacing. Smell is mostly corn, grain, and green apple. Green apple dominates the taste, so I guess I'll say it's on the bitter side, but not particularly hoppy. Body is light and watery without much carbonation. I bought this because my local store was out of Hamms when I needed something cheap and light. Next time, I'll go out of my way to get Hamms instead of this one.

Easily one of the best cheap beers on the market. This thing blows away Busch and Coors, and honestly rivals Sam Adams for its drinkability and excellent price. Very smooth and satisfying beer with a great finish and head. One of the top beers in my opinion.

I used to buy the ol’ Latrobe-Brewed RR way back, when. It had an “appeal”. This newer version? Too clean. It bears no resemblance, to the OG. Some people, like it better. I do not. Might be my last session with this(once) American icon. Cheers!

A stovepipe can poured into a beer glass.
A pale straw color, with a decent head initially, minimal random lacing.
Faint toasted malt and some adjunct corn flavor, mild hops. A Soft and fairly smooth pale lager.
This brand used to be common in the beer stores, I used to buy it periodically, it was one of my best friends favorites back before the microbrew revolution. Now you rarely see it.
