You're probably wondering what we are trying to do. It's hard to say. We wanted to add a little more magic to the world. So Rolling Stone Lager is about embracing the spirit of the music that transforms us, brings us together and also sets us free. To describe it any further would be difficult without sounding like bullshit and bullshit is like gathering moss.

Don't remember where I purchased this beer. I think it might have been at Total Wine & More. For a pale lager it is an OK beer. I didn't think it was anything special, so I don't really remember the specifics. Had this beer a couple of years back so don't remember much. Rated 8-6-2023

From the can, it pours a clear amber color with a modest head that soon diminishes to a thin ring and islands. Some spotty lacing. The nose gets a little malt and citrus. The mouth gets malty flavor with a light touch of hops.

Pours a light hazy golden color and a prominent white head.
Tastes more pilsner than lager - grassy, cereal/bready and sweet malt. Has a hop bitter finish that goes into the aftertaste.
It has a rather light mouthfeel and is on the bland side, but is refreshing.

Can. White head. Clear golden color.
Malty and grainy. Some earthy hops. Biscuity and bready. American lager like.
Light bodied. Crisp. Well carbonated. Kind of bland.

Pause a slightly hazy, oranges-yellow with a one-finger, fluffy white head.
Slight malt smell and lemongrass.
Nice Pilsner snap with German hops.
Refreshing taste with slight hop.
Not bad.

16oz can from Hops and Bottles. Almost clear, dark golden, cap of foamy head. Grainy aroma, mostly adjuncts, corn. Taste at first recalls the classic lagers of the 70s, grainy, sweey and a bit metallic. Go in a bit deeper to find some bready malts flavors. Overall there are slight vegetal notes, not enough for it to pass the bar of mass produced lagers.

From a black can, this brew is a hazy gold color with a white head. Cereal grain in the aroma, along with some spicy hop notes. Crisp flavor...dry with some hop bitterness. Nice hop flavor in the finish. Straightforward lager.

Aroma is fresh yeast, very grainy malts and a hint of spicy hops. The flavor is grains/malts, mild fruit, a hint of spring water and a spicy hop/beery finish.

Experience by November 1st 2020.
It pours a clear gold with a finger of foam and does well with the lacing.
Smells lightly malty, lightly hoppy, some toasted malt no notes of say, corn.
Taste seems pretty clean, toasted malt with a mild sweetness, respectable level of bitterness for a Lager that isn't a Pilsner.
Medium bodied, the right amount of carbonation.
Nice Lager to have on a hot summer day.
