Description
Wij zijn jonge ambitieuze brouwers die trots zijn op ‘onze’ stad Amersfoort. Wij brouwen gedurfde speciaalbieren die je zintuigen prikkelen. Hierbij nemen we vaak de nodige risico’s, zoals bier gerijpt op vaten. Dit bier rijpt veel langer dan gebruikelijk en de uitkomst is verbluffend. We willen de bierdrinker en onszelf blijven uitdagen. Iets wat niet lijkt te kunnen, doen we toch. Aan de andere kant hebben we veel respect voor ambacht en traditie. Daarin gaan we dan ook weer “all the way”.
Rock City Beers startte in 2014 als brouwerijhuurder. De naam van de brouwerij is een verwijzing naar de bijnaam van de stad Amersfoort: de Keistad. In 2015 werd er al ongeveer 460 hectoliter geproduceerd. In februari 2016 nam de brouwerij de licentie van Phoenix over van UDB Export. In december 2017 wordt de naam gewijzigd van Rock City Beers naar Rock City Brewing. In 2018 opent de brouwerij een brewpub in Amersfoort. Op vrijdag 2 januari 2018 werd de brouwerij officieel geopend.

Geprobeerd met LiekevdV bij de brouwerij. Het is een troebel geel bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Het heeft een aroma van tarwe en wat citrus. De smaak is moutig, fruitig, fris zuur en waterig.

Can. Slight hazy golden, almost no head. Wheat, coriander, a bit flat in taste as well as in carbonation. Maybe some orange? Paper, yeast. Over light bodied. Meh.

Decent example. Has the same buttery texture that is the staple of the style. The beer is otherwise mild and doesn’t mask it. Sterk ams

Not bad. Light, refreshing. None of the weird flavours you often get with AFs.

Discount bottle from Jumbo. Almost clear light golden. Yeasty, wheat, soft spicy grains, grassy, cloves, dough, lemon zest. Medium sweet, quite light bitter and some tart wheat. Medium bodied, a bit creamy slick oily feel. OK.

0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', best before June 2025. Hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral, minimally dank aroma of pineapple, lemon peel, gooseberry and some green peppers. Quite sweet, hardly bitter, rather fruity-floral and a bit dank aroma of pineapple, lemon peel, gooseberry, a touch of green peppers and traces of honey, followed by a short, hardly bitter finish. Medium to full body, very smooth, almost oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good one, definitely more body than their hazy pale ale, refreshingly hoppy as well.

Jeg går planken på Melkebaren (for første gang på minst to år): brunsvart med b eige cremeskum som varer til bunns. Nybrent kaffe, dessertchokolader, hint av brent treverk og bjørnebær. Deilig bitterhet og cremet munnfølelse, halvtørr og overbevisende avslutning med pregnant mersmak.

Can at home 25/01/2024 Sweet and dry fruity and malty aroma and taste, zesty citrus lemony note, straw, grass, light florals, watery body, bitter finish.
