Bottle. Puffy white head with a light red body/ The head collapses after two minutes though. Aroma is cherry hard candy. Flavor is similar but just a but sweeter. Nice maltiness and the body is actually pretty good. I like the toastiness of the beer but the flavors are a bit muted. Some sweetness with a sticky finish.

12oz bottle from local supermarket. Pours a dark amber color with a thin head. Little lacing. Aroma is actually better than a typical lager beer with notes of sweet malt, grass, grain. Flavor is also better than a typical lager, with some sweet malty caramel like notes with very little hoppy bitterness. Generally medium body with a smooth, sweet finish. Much better than I anticipated given the Rolling Rock beers I have had in the past.

Mild toast and base malt aroma. Dark straw/light amber color (not red), with a white head that surprisingly leaves light lacing. Grain and floral notes dominate, light herbal/grass. Nice non thin mouthfeel, clean quaffable finish. Comparison to Yuengling is an accurate one. This would be pretty darn good on a hot Mississippi afternoon, I’m surprised!

This would be an upgrade from the Rolling Rock that A.B. puts out now. It has a roasty,caramel, aroma and a medium sweetness, that was quite refreshing. It’s not the best red beer that I have had but it drinks well.

Bottle... Clear amber lager with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. Decent retention. Sweet, nicely toasted nose... biscuit, cookie and a little cheap perfume. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Leans on the sweet side of balance. Sweet toffee and restrained bitterness. Lightly acidic. Finishes sweet and grainy.

An orangey caramel color, a vigorous pour forces a voluminous foamy head but it fades quickly to a thin layer of bubbles. Lucky this wasn’t skunked from the green bottle. Aroma is mostly bready, a touch grainy, maybe some grassy hops, or a good imagination. Clean sweet doughy malt flavors remind me quite a bit of regular Rolling Rock but this one at least has a fuller body and a touch deeper malt character.
