COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rock Ice is created through an “Ice Brewing” system. In this system, the beer is sub-cooled to achieve the formation of fine ice crystals, which separate from the liquid without the loss of any aromatic substances. This chemical change influences taste and aroma. Costa Ricans have been enjoying Rock Ice since 1995.

The worst beer i had during my trip to Costa Rica. Pale straw color, with a harsh, biting taste. To top it off, when i ordered a different beer for the next glass, the waiter accidentially served me this a second time.

solidfunk (1792) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 17, 2012
Very bad. Tastes sour and kind of flat. Pours pissy yellow. Tastes like slightly carbonated garbage. Ill avoid this one like I usually do any beer in one of this clear bottles.

visionthing (1658) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 10, 2012
Can. Pours pale yellow with a small white head. Lightly skunky aroma of sweet malt. Sweet, watery and fruity with just a hint of bitterness. Fortunately it tastes slightly better than it smells.

Arve_Christian (2089) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 9, 2012
The beer is light yellow, skunky smell, very litle taste. Thankfully, very short aftertaste It sure tasted better in Costa Rica then in Oslo.. To taste good it needs 30 degrees a beach and lots of sun

coldbrewky (1319) - Hippetown East, New York, USA - APR 21, 2011
Lightly sweet with low toned sweet citrus. no finish...it just ends. thin bright white head. Corn / Malt / Corn body. Yeah...Uneventful and a pass for most...Stick with the Pilsen and Bavaria light.

"So, if I just read it correctly, I consumed 7 different styles of Costa Rica beer?? Wierd, who would have thhought? Another thought I just had. I don’t remember ever getting any beers on draft. I know it’s a bit more expensive, but i remember having no problem in Mexico findind some. Hmm.. Anyway, this beer is crap but again, another one i drank plenty of in sun. Not a good enough review? My advice, pass on this one unless you’re super curious. Really tasted like a soapy carpet. Sick."

dm9831 (1515) - Monee, Illinois, USA - JAN 23, 2011
yellow color, smallish white head, not lacy. slightly malty nose with a slight trace of corn. flavor is much the same, corn sweeteness with a suggestion of maltiness. light bodied, sweet finish. a standard pale lager which is most refreshing when enjoyed in the sweltering cost rican sun.

Boutip (3979) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 6, 2011
Bottle: Poured a bright golden color lager with a small bubbly head with not much retention. Aroma of corn is somewhat apparent with light sweet aftertaste. Taste is quite bland with adjunct being obviously used in this beer. I must admit that I could probably not distinguish the different lager form this brewer as they so closely resemble each other.
