Growler from Brewery at Public Market - Looked good, smelled nice, but that’s where it ended. Really disconnected, more like an overly sweet bock with a Pale Ale finish. Disappointed.

Oct 1, 2009 cask @ old toad...really nicely balanced hops...a bit sweet and delicious to drink...nice balance between bittering and aroma hops but not overwhelming in either arena, made this an excellent drinking ale...from a cask, so not too cold or fizzy, I could drink this all night long...delicious

Aug 16, 2009 Rohrbach Dry Hopped Stock Ale is a cloudy honey colored ale with a dense off-white head that has good retention. It smells like dry hops: Leafy, with a lot of citrus peel. It’s medium bodied and flat, with a pretty clean finish that’s a little acidic. It’s quite bitter with notes of citrus and grass. Yeah, it’s all hops here. The aftertaste is bitter.

Rohrbach Stock Ale is a pretty clear light amber ale with a small white head that fades. There is not too much aroma. There is a slight whiff of malt and molasses, but the hops aren’t coming through. It’s medium-light bodied and crisp. It’s well bittered and zippy. The balance is pretty good. It’s OK, but I think I need to sit down with a full pint of this and review it again. Make that a growler.

Jun 26, 2009 Poured like a golden amber. Big hops aroma with citrus. Nice balance with the malts smoothing out the hops. I’m starting to get used to these hoppy beers.

Jun 5, 2009 Dark yellow/light gold pour with minimal head out of a growler. Grapefruit and pine, heavy and nice. The palate is big and dominated by the hop-monster. Good summer beer and what I needed after - you guessed it - mowing the lawn.

Nov 22, 2007 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark copper color with a thin and creamy tan head. Aroma is very floral and fragrant with lots of hops, perfume, and earth. Flavor is very hoppy at the start with a smooth malt balance and a semi-sweet hint at the end. Finishes smooth with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Rather nice.

Oct 10, 2003 Updated: Oct 12, 2003Rohrbach's Brewpub (Draught):
Amber colour with absolutely no head. Bright-fragrant hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour with a great malt balance. Aftertaste bittered from the hops...fairly nice. Overall, a good beer, much better than the first tasting (see below). The batch at the Old Toad is currently not worth tasting. I had this beer on draught at the brewpub in Rochester, New York on 11-October-2003.
Old Toad (Draught):
Copper colour with a very thin white head. Malty aroma with a VERY strong vinegary aroma...not pleasant! Medium-bodied; Strong flavour filled with aggressive malt - very medicinal and the vinegary flavour propogates to the flavour. Aftertaste displays noticeable alcohol and some malt and bittering characteristics. Overall, not great and not reccomended! I had this pint on draught at the Old Toad in Rochester, New York on 09-October-2003.
