Tap to rate

Rolling Rock Amber Lager adds a darker lager to the brand, sold on draft and in cans. It pours a clear medium amber with lively carbonation and a thin beige head that leaves some lacing. The aroma is light, with toasted and grainy malt. On the palate toasted, biscuit-like malt shows only a little sweetness and a hint of caramel, while a faint earthy hop note adds a touch of bitterness that fades quickly. The body is light and the finish clean and crisp.
