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. 

Coors

Coors Brewing Company is a regional division of the world's seventh-largest brewing companies.  Coors is also renowned for operating the Golden, Colorado brewery, the largest single brewery facility in the world. 

This beer pours with a honey amber color, with a medium sized white head that dissipates well after leaving a slight but lacy clear color.

The smell is very distinct.  There is some note of a sweet candy smell but mostly it is made up of smells that are just hard to get past the nose.  What I did notice was a use of nice caramel malts, maybe a touch of honey or bit of corn husk.  

The taste, oddly enough, is a light hoppyness which reveals a bitterness to the beer. A very confusing flavor profile is within the slight bitterness. The bitterness eventually fades away laving some doughy after taste. 

This beer really shines with each sip.  Great carbonation and a long lasting good aftertaste that is good for video gaming, no need to pause Borderlands while drinking.

Credit to Coors for the attempt because it isn't a bad beer. What I taste is a brew that has little to offer the craft customer and not much for the gateway craft drinker but just a clean low-budget beer. 

Overall I would drink this again.  Mainly to try it in different forms other then a conventional can.  

Thanks for all the support and as always comments are welcome.  Until next time drink one for me. 

Samuel Adams

Samuel Adams is an American brand of beer brewed by the Boston Beer Company.  The company was founded in 1984 by Jim Kosh, Hary M. Rubin, and Lorenzo Lamadrid in Boston, Mass.  The name Samuel Adams was chosen after an American patriot, by the same name, famous for his role in the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party.  Based on sales in 2011, the Boston Beer Company is tied with Yuengling for the largest American-owned brewery.

This beer pours a nice amberly color, with a good head. The smell is just a nice lager smell, but the taste, while clean, nice, and lagery, has a certain nuttiness, or breadiness that I really enjoy.  This is an easy to drink, really good beer.

You can definitely small the malts in this beer. Very pleasant and there is a hint of hops aroma as well.
The taste is light sweetness and light bitterness. Toasted malt and mild citrus is also present. Well-balanced, not as carbonated as I was expecting, this beer managed to slightly exceeded my expectations.

As a craft beer legend Samuel Adams Boston Lager, keeps it strong, smooth and simple. Best enjoyed from the bottle, this is how a simple beer should be.

As always thinks for reading, feel free to leave comments.  Until next time, drink one for me.  

Guinness

In honor of Saint Patricks day day I decided to drink an Irish favorite.   Guinness is a popular Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Author Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin.  Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 100.  850 million litres (1.5 billion imperial or 1.8 billion US pints) are sold annually.

Well poured with a good, firm head and typical Guinness appearance.  Due to it's more filling nature this beer dose not look pleasant in a glass. Pours a foamy which lingers and is as black as the night.

Very bold flavor, at the end of the day though, this is not a bad tasting beer at all. And unlike other macro beers, it doesn't taste like water.  One thing I noticed is that there are nice malt flavors, but not much of a hops flavor.

 Overall a fairly simple yet good drink that you can easily drink 4 or 5 without noticing.  You won’t have to twist my arm too hard to get me to drink one.  The only think that me and my friends disagree on is how it is severed.  I prefer tap while they prefer a bottle.  So what to you think can/bottle/draft? 

Thanks for all the support... leave comments.

Heineken

Heineken is a pale ale beer with 5% alchole by volume produced by the Dutch brewing company Heineken international.  Heineken is also an import beer.

This beer is malty and sweet at first, somewhat shunky.  A light amount of bitterness is present and this lingers through the aftertaste.

As with the taste a nice skunky smell is present, that I have always liked.  I think it is because of the green bottle that this smell is present.  Eventhough skunky it is very clean. 

If you can get over the skunky aspect it is not that bad.  These are somewhat muted and masked by notes of corn, grainy malts and grassy hops.

Overall Heineken is pretty refreshing though, not too heavy or overcarbonated so that was a good aspect. Obviously Heineken isn't really the best beer ever, but hey, it serves its purpose of letting you get drunk quickly. What it lacks in quality it makes up for in price sadly however.  

This beer is best servered cold and in the bottle.  Not the most complex beer, but a nice pale lager. Easy enough to drink with nothing off-putting as long as it's decently cold. I wouldn't turn it down if offered for free.

Thanks for reading and as always drink one for me. 

Moosehead

Moosehead is Canada's oldest independent brewery, located in Saint John, New Brunswick.  In 2003, Moosehead Lager won a Gold award at the World Beer Cup, and earned another at the prestigious Monde Selection.  Moosehead also produces under contract a number of international brands on behalf of four of the world's largest brewers. All brands of Moosehead have "Union Made" displayed on their labels, and in some cases, directly on the bottle.

 Until about five years ago Canada was the only place to find Moosehead.  Now it it common in most beer selling venues.  The beer is brewed with a blend of hops and barley.  This gives a clean taste, one that's not bitter, and a refreshing taste.

The color is a little odd if your not expecting it.  It pours yellow and depending on how you hold the glass determines the amount of head.  It isn't to hoppie nor malty, just clean with no after taste.  As always this beer is best cold.  As with all foreign beers this one has a little higher alcohol content than with U.S beers which is about a 5.0%.

My first impression of this beer is that it can be a reasonably good seasonal beer.  I think this would make a good Sun­day after­noon, football-watching beer.

Thanks for reading and all for your support.  As always comments and opinions are welcome.  Until next time, drink one for me.  

Bud lite

Bud lite comes in many forms.  There's the original, bud lite platinum and bud lite lime.  Bud lite, in my opinion, is the ultimate party beer.  Bud lite has grown to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States.  It contains 30% rice, (the rest is water lol).  Lite beer by definition means low alcohol. Along with low alcohol lite beer contains less calories. 

Bud Light is brewed by Anheuser-Busch in St.Louis Mo, and has a 4.2% by volume.  What can I say this beer looks good, other than that there is nothing special.  Bud lite is found in almost every convenience store and it goes good with drinking games due to it's low alcohol content. 

Here we go!  Again the best quality of this beer is it's availability.  I'm not saying anything bad but it's color is weak brown at best.  The taste when compared to traditional Budweiser is lacking.  When I pour it into a glass the question of why bother comes to mind.  Glass or can it doesn't change anything.

The best part about this beer is the marketing.  The selling factor for me is that this beer is good if you are planing on drinking a lot of them.  This beer is best used for social outings and parties.

As always comments and opinions are always welcome.  Until nest time, drink one for me.
