My bottle ws brewed over at the old rolling rock plant., right down the road. Difficult from the start. Twist off bottle pours dark yellow. Thin white head. This is probably more like a premium lager. Old alarming lager aroma. Looks pretty good now that it settled. Ooooooo, quite strong impressions initially. I was hoping for something a little better behaved. Slight wierd tartness at least gives it an interest. Finish is poorly made old cheap ice lager. I really want to like this but it reminds me of their defender series of beers. Just yur run of the mill rude cheap beer. Difficult metallic thing going on that is quite hard to get used to. Add this to another of those city brewing rude beers. They have plenty IMHO.

A standard yellow lager with some malt and minimal flavor. Not much going on. The palate is actually not bad, and it is drinkable enough. The rep said they donate 1/2 of their profits to military families, so I like that.

Clear medium amber body with a good sized, slightly off-white sticky head. Aroma of grain and musty wet cardboard. Kinda tastes like a soured beer with some detergent in it. Really bad. Thin.
