A nice light tasting beer, doesn't leave you feeling full afterwards.

Bad beer! no good!

Though Rolling Rock is sadly no longer produced in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, it is still a decent beer. It is a great alternative to the big name American light beer brands. It is a pale lager, so it is not as strong in flavor as Yuengling lager (which is also produced in Pennsylvania and comes in a green bottle).

I am writing about the AB owned R.R. I never had the pleasure of trying the Latrobe version and am sorry I missed out. This is a very pale beer. About half the color depth of a Miller's. Poured the beer from a cold (about 45 deg. F.) into a 12 ounce clear glass tumbler which produced a very nice head with plenty of lacing as the beer is consumed. My first impression was sweet. The next sip was where are the hops? The maltiness is very up-front with virtually no hop flavor which normally gives you the bitter to offset the sweetness of malt. It almost reminds me of the world's lightest ale, brings back memories of drinking malt liquor as a youth. Like Country Club or Colt 45 except slightly less flavorful and less body. If you are looking for a beer that goes down easy, gives you the required buzz, and don't like hops, buy some now. Otherwise there are a huge number of choices for those who enjoy some hop flavor in their beer. I agree with those reviewers who say don't let this warm up on you. It will taste like something your three year old kid was drinking.

Better when it was Latrobe - everybody knows that. first time I had this I was 13 and my dad let me have some when we were hunting. I loved it once i hit that second bottle. I still drink it occasionally and i'm 19 now (underage I know but who hasn't drank before 21?) Still pretty good, but there are many other better beers out there

It's not as good as it used to be, AB boufght this and it tastes different than before.

Yuck sums it up quite nicely

Rolling Rock was a great American beer, distinctive and iconic. Anheuser-Busch acquired the brand, shifted production to St. Louis, and quickly ran this brand into the ground. I bought it once after the A-B acquisition and was nearly heart-broken at what had happened to one of my favorites. The finish used to be memorable but A-B somehow achieved a skunky quality.

A light and refreshing beer! Very good.

Great beer for sweltering hot humid summer days.  It's very light and doesn't sit heavy in the gut.  Not that awesome of a beer that you'd want to drink it all the time.  If you've been working out in the summer heat all day this is a good way to quench thirst.  From taste alone I would give it a two.  Since it makes a good hot summer day beer I have to give an extra point.

  I stumbled across this a few years ago when I was going through a try everything phase. Reading the other reviews, there have apparently been two versions and I can't honestly say which verison this was. It would have been around '98 or '99 when I bought a six pack, if that helps.

It was okay, and that's about all I can really say. It wasn't too strong, it wasn't too weak. The taste was alright but nothing I'd write home about. If I drank enough, I'm sure I would have been intoxicated. It was beer.

It might be one of those beers that's okay if you just want to kick back and watch a ball game or even for a little social drinking, but for the price I'd just as soon get something that did more to impress me on taste.

This is truly bad. I don't see how anybody drinks this stuff for enjoyment.

The Latrobe version was good, but the AB is not nearly as good. Very mild beer.

Has been fairly compared to the urine of a civet cat. It's marketed to manly men, and made to sound like a middle-class beer, so when I first drank it with a bunch of other guys in a bowling alley, I was kind of surprised, but subsequent experience has confirmed how offensive it is. Just as bad as Coors Light -- the latter doesn't taste like anything at all, at least.

Watered Down Skunk Piss!!!!!!

The best summertime beer ever! Cold and refreshing! Made from sparkling spring water! What's that? Budweiser? Newark? Forget it.

A lower priced Heineken, and just as skunky. I rate it one star better because it is cheaper. Some bars even sell it as a domestic.

Servicable college beer until you grow up and get a real job. Rolling Rock has a weird aftertaste that bugs me. . .I don't hate the beer, but I've had better 'cheap' beers for the price.

Smooth .... Good ... Make me P alot ...

A perfect example of a poor American lager. The flavor is weak. The aroma sickening. Why waste your money on junk like Rolling Rock, Miller, Coors or Budweiser? It's all trash beer.

not a bad domestic. when i was 22, some friends and i camped near the Rolling Rock plant. we tried to break into the loading dock--no deal. still drink it when i can.

Overrated garbage. Doctored up Budweiser. Awful.

Take water and add half a bottle of crap and you will get this.

I love this beer. Always have, always will. And one of the few that actually tastes GOOD in cans. Don't knock The Rock.

The Rock has its detractors. Some say it's too light and watery; others dismiss it as skunk urine. I have been drinking it regularly since sneaking in as an underage drinker at Smokey Joe's and other rathskellers in Philly. One reason I like it is that very lightness. I can drink a few without getting that bloated feeling I get when drinking Bud. It has a good taste to it; not too much bite. Incredibly, I have been able to find it almost anywhere in the country and even in Italy. The mystery of 33 always intrigued me. Some theories I heard is that the number of words on the label add up to 33 words, the Old Latrobe brewery is along Route 33, and it is based on the year prohibition ended - 1933.

Call me nuts. Everytime I go down to the USA (I'm in Canada eh) I HAVE to have a Rolling Rock! Even more surprising is I still enjoy it even after trying 200+ different world beers. Crazy thing is that it really isn't all that great of a beer! It is a good beer, not "world class good beer" but good beer if you want a beer to drink and enjoy. Pleasent to drink, light (body and taste) and refreshing, very little aftertaste. Again, call me crazy, but it isn't all that bad to drink on a hot day. :)

Just an average beer trying to get by.

This shite is brewed in Latrobe PA, there is a large paper mill very close to the brewery, and the beer tastes just like that place smells. BAD

Thin and grainy. But there's something about it. Maybe those little pony bottles enhance the drinking experience. If these are ice cold they'll do the trick. I'd give this a 2.5-2.75 rating, nonetheless.

More over-rated wallpaper paste! Leave this one on the shelf(PASS) Instaed grap that 12'ver of Pacifico... Cheers

The taste is pretty watery, but it makes a good cheap beer, but it is not some quality beer that they make it out to be. I wouldnt take it over a Bud.

Its what has kept me drunk for years!

Horrid. Bad. Terrible. Noxious. Horendous. Granted that my first experiance with this beer included 7 shots of Jim bean on an empty stomach but subsequent nights with this beer have resulted in horrible hangovers. I know it's cheap, but does it have to taste like it?

A very smooth and intriguing taste.

"The Rock". A pretty decent beer. Tastes a little like Corona. Lime or no lime it's still good.

Drink this beer and you become the man!!

Nasty, Nasty, Nasty! Lousy taste, and brewed way to close to a nuclear reactor for my liking.

A pretty decent beer, that won't cost you $5 at a bar.

Rolling Rock used to be the best cheap American beer. Now they think they are a specialty beer and charge too much. Still, a good basic beer and easy to drink.

Rolling Rock is my favorite beer. It's easy to drink a lot of the rock because it's light and doesn't have that heavy blahh taste.

i definitely think this beer is over priced but it hold a lot of good memories for me. And I really do like the taste.

Not really a very good beer. I grew up in Pennsylvania and remember it as the cheap beer that it was - not the trendy, green-bottle driven, 33 beer that it is. I remember being a little shocked seeing people in swanky Miami bars drinking this swill. The power of marketing will never cease to amaze me.

Rolling Rock used to be one of my favorite beers in college. I think a lot of it had to do with the green bottles and I liked everything green back then. I was also drinking to get wasted and not to enjoy my beer. It served its purpose. I sometimes get Rolling Rock just because I want to see if I still like it and I don't. I have to give it a big hard swallow just to get it down. It has a funny bitter but sour taste that makes me get bitter face. I hate that. It just isn't that good to me anymore.

For some reason I think the ones you buy at a club -- with the embossed-on-the-glass label -- taste decent, but if you ever buy a keg or just get the bottles with paper labels, it seems to be skunked much of the time. What's the deal? Maybe the 33 on the label means that 33% of their beer is taken from the stinky Cuyahoga river...

Not a fan -- if I'm going to drink crappy domestic beer, I'd just as soon go with something really cheap, like Old Milwaukee.

This is a pretrty popular beer - but I really cannot stand that unique taste that it has. the mystererious '33' does not intrigue me too much either.
