Michelob


Michelob is a 5% pale lager developed by Adolphus Busch in 1896 as a "draught beer for connoisseurs". 

This beer ia a crystal clear, of golden yellow appearance.  The beer was topped by an eggshell colored crown. The head quickly faded to a thin yet resilient cap.  The flavor tastes recognizably Bud-like thought. 

The aroma consist of barley malts, some spicy hops, and a crisp aftertaste.  Very light, grainy, with malt flavor up front, with grassy and some herbal, snappy hops throw into the mix.  Washes down very dry and clean with minimal hop aftertaste.

Very light but still it's not outright bad and is probably a good starter brew.  A million cheaper beers are just as good.  There is nothing complex about this beer, but just a standard decent beer that can pretty much go with anything.

Over all I am satisfied and will try again in near future.  The best serving type is ice cold srtaight from the bottle.  This is a surprisingly drinkable beer. It's been many a year since I had one. It was better than I remembered it would be.

Thanks for reading and as always please feel free to leave any comments you may have.  Untill next time drink one for me.

Rolling Rock


Rolling Rock is a 4.6% pale lager launched in 1939 by the Latrobe Brewing Company.  Although founded as a local beer in Western Penn., it was marketed aggressively and eventually became a national product. The brand was sold to Anhesur-Busch of St. Louis, Missouri in mid 2006, which transferred brewing operations to New Jersey.

Not much too be said about this beer.  It is very nice with a dense white head.  Umm... it was quite sweeter than many light lager style beers.

Best to drink this one cold and straight out of the bottle. Taste is weak and fizzy but still pretty easy to drink and kinda refreshing. Needs more hops.

When poured into a glass it's got a nice calm look. Smells like party beer. Cheap, easy to down. Bit of a hint of rice. You can't really taste much. Pleasant mouthfeel, unlike most cheaper brews. I enjoy this one because it's inexpensive yet appreciated it most when i'm not paying.

Overall this beer is less than impressive.  It would be a great beer to party with since it goes down so easily and it will eventually do it's job, But from an advocate's perspective, this stuff is garbage.  I've drang the whole batch and am wanting my money back. 

There you have it, if someone else is buying have at it, otherwise don't bother.  Until next time, drink one for me.
