12 oz. bottle. Just 5 ratings from a new Best Beer Month Ever™ and I’m wasting it on cheap lite beers. Hey, I gotta recalibrate after GTMW. So this has a surprisingly grainy smell, although on second sniff, it’s more like feed corn. Color is strangely off, very light, but somehow brownish. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, the taste is "something that’s almost, but not quite, entirely unlike beer." Like drinking diluted corn mash mixed with Malto Goya. Plain unpleasant.
This is definitely not as good as its older brother, however for a light beer its not terrible.
Overall Impression:
I remember when they released this think it was going to be Rolling Rock’s Michelob Ultra, and that I don’t like Michelob Ultra much, and I don’t like Rolling Rock as much as Michelob, so this was going to be a disaster...Well I was at a bar right after it was released where they were giving it out for free (it wasn’t close to being my first drink that night either), and it was bad. Since then I have attempted to avoid it, but have had a few since, still never good, do yourself a favor, skip this one.
Pours a pale yellow body with a white head. Very thin body grainy and nearing tastelessness as you approach 0 degrees Celsius. Feels like someone stole everything i like about my brew from it.
Pours very light yellow with a white short lived fizzy head. Smell is like seltzer water with a faint, faint bit of malt and yeast. Taste is incredibly mild, even for a light beer. Like carbonated water with a touch of bitterness and the lightest twinge of malt and a very subtle bit of yeast in the finish. Probably one of the cleanest, wateriest, most crisp beers I’ve ever had, and at times that can be good. Medium to thin bodied with medium to high, prickly, carbonation. Refreshing.
I am a big fan of Rolling Rock. And this beer is a good low cal alternative. I would rather drink this that mich ultra. It actually has a little flavor.
12oz bottle 2/5/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a faint above plain water with a yellow tint. Aroma of corn and grains. Taste of mild hops and grains. This light bodied brew has nothing to offer. If you want a light/low carb beer try MGD 64 which has at least some flavor.
The choice for Atkins dieters who need beer. Still isn’t worth a crap, but its my choice for low carb.
Pours light yellow with a big white head. Aroma is grass and corn. Flavor is watery, wet grain, with a metallic bite.
POurs a very very light yellow with a big white head. Aroma was rice and grass and other adjuncts. Flavor is mainly rice, some metal, and corn, blah.
12/19/08 From the bottle. Aroma is suprisingly authentic, with classic pils sweetness and a complimentary noble hop background. Appearance is clear yellow with a medium retained white head. Flavor is where this falls flat, with a watery sourness and almost metallic tone. Mouthfeel is VERY light bodied with a medium carb feel that dries out your tongue and a slightly acidic tang. This looks to quickly go the way of Rolling Rock Light.
on ok beer i drank it a lot while i was in hardcore training mode becasue it was light on calories and had some mild resemblence to Rolling Rock
eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww......yuck. not horrible just run of the mill. No more no less
Bottle. Just a wtered down version of rolling rock. Does have some skunk smell and a little hops to speak of. Not one of the better light beers.
Pale yellow with fizzy carbonation. Watery, vague cracker malt flavor. Light bodied, fizzy.
This is a water version of Rolling Rock of course but not as bad as other light beers. The watery grain taste is what you would expect but it goes well if you are on a budget and a diet!
Great low carb beer. Goes down like water but i drank these things when i dieted for a while and they did the job.
Skunky green bottle aroma that is not as prevalent as its bigger brother. Clean and not a lot of beer taste, watery grainy maltiness.
If you like drinking flavored water then this is your beer. It has a paper napkin flavor that leaves you hungering for some taste on your palate. Very weak beer. There are a lot better ones out there.
This clear yellow beer poured with a large white head that dissipated quickly. There is a skunky beer aroma and virtually no taste. Enough said.
I don’t think this is the same beer I’m rating but I’ll put it here for now. My bottle is Rock Light, the label is quite different, and being a local from nearby latrobe, I understand it is a different recipe than the Rock Green Light. I hear it is actually a recipe AB used of the original Rolling Rock Light from the retired recipe files they acquired in the purchase. Anyway, Pretty 12 oz green bottle with a twist off cap. Clean yesty aroma with no hints of skunk, certainly nothing offensive on the olfactory. Nice streaming carbonation in the glass, good show in an otherwise ubiquitous pale lager. Taste is light but perhaps not as light as a light brew should be. Good appreciative bubbly carbonation. Dull non offensive lager finish. Well behaved with manners. Perhaps some shades of clean sparkling spring water in there, refreshing. An above average lager.
Pale amber color, thin fizzy head. Small malts, corn, and cardboard. Quick hoppiness in the finish. Pretty terrible.
From a 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a golden yellow with fizzy white head that bubbles away after about a minute. Aroma of grass and hops. A little watered down on the mouth with a corny taste and a faint flavor of hops. It is at least as good as most other low carb lights out there.
Bottle--Not even strong enough to be called yellow in color. Medium fizzy head that lead to the large amount of carbonation. Not much aroma or taste, which is good, because what I detected of both, I didn’t like.
ABC
Rock Green Light
Piss yellow. Medium head. Aroma: Grain & hops. Flavor: Not much. Water, malt, hops. Metalic finish.
Terrible. Why would you get this? I guess its better than Natural Light, but that doesn’t exactly earn one bonus points.
Bottle. Clear yellow in color with no head. Hoppy corn aroma. Hoppy light malty flavor. Some corn notes here. Ok
Bottle. Pours almost clear and smells like skunk. This is totally a beer for dieters. No purpose for this crap.
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body bordered by a thin ring of white bubbles.
Smell: Not much present beyond some light pale maltiness and vaguely floral hints.
Taste: Pale malts with a mild cereal sweetness. A touch floral. A quick, watery finish and it’s all over.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Best club soda I’ve had in quite some time!
its back with an inticing advertising campaign designed to get beer tasters to try it. don’t bother.
