With its alternative communication language and amazing prizes (Hummer, Trip via Route66, Ford Mustang, Bikes, Segway etc) Rock promotions have always a high participation rate. In Baltic Brand Award contest, Rock was voted as a best Estonian Brand in 2004.

This is much better than what I expected from a pale lager and well worth the $1.99 price. 50cl bottle from my grocery store pours an almost clear golden color with large persistent white head.. Smells bready/grainy. Aroma is a bit grassy but lacks the fermented corn and apples I find in most pale lagers. If I were blindfolded, I would have mistaken this for a German Weissbier. Body is light but not watery. Carbonation is average or less. Most importantly, this is very drinkable with no foul aftertaste. Not great, but I’ll definitely try this one again.

The aroma is bread with a hint of grit while the appearance is dirty blonde. The flavor is bread mixed with a mild sweetness, along with a note of yeast. Not much to this, it was decent but unremarkable.

Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - OCT 28, 2011
500 ml bottle, as Saku Rock Alternative Premium, from a potential importer. ABV is 5.3%. Pale golden colour, large and lasting white head. Moderate sweetish aroma, some pilsener malts. The flavour is not too sweet, but very bland, and the hops are very moderate. However, there are no offensive off-flavours, and I can see that this beer may "go home" with its apparent target group, young people who are really not into beer yet. Tolerably refreshing when cold.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - AUG 24, 2011
A clear yellow colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma of malts and fruits. The taste of sweet malts, fruits with a little bitter. The aftertaste is sweet with a small bitter. Not a bad lager.
