I must have gotten some REALLY fresh Rolling Rock....

I don't mind admitting it: my dad's a fan of the stuff, and I enjoy one now and then, too.

But the last 6-pack that I bought for him was (for better or for worse) missing all of the taste that makes Rolling Rock "famous." In fact, it really just tasted like...well, yellow fizzy water.

I'm guessing that it was hot-off-the-press, or something. Crazy as it sounds, the slightly-skunky, super-grainy version is better.

Must have been Rolling Rock lite.

According to the bottle, it was "Extra Pale Ale," but that is exactly the same as the ones we'd been getting before. As far as I know, it is the only Rolling Rock available up here in Siberia. Usually it is slightly skunky and quite "grainy," if I am using the term right.

Anyway, the beer that we had after that was a good, home-brewed "OtterWeizen" - much better!
