COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Harkening back to old world brewing styles, Roscoe’s Hop House uses the highest quality malts and hops to bring forth this smooth, bright-flavored Pale Ale. With a nod to the past, this nicely balanced, true ale is brewed using traditional brewing methods for a unique flavor profile. The password to our best kept secret is found inside the bottle.

jimmay (807) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 11, 2010
12 oz bottle. Pours amber, almost copper in colour with decent off white head. Aroma is slight malt, and taste is a pretty good balance, maybe a little heavy on the malt side, but quite drinkable!

kevd193213 (797) - Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA - OCT 10, 2010
12 oz bottle. Pale amber pour with a medium fizzy off white head. Aroma of earthy hops and sweet malt. Even taste of hops, malt and pepper with a lasting slight stale hoppy finish.

Slightly hazy amber pour. It actually has a complex aroma - brown sugar, mint, apricot, peach, and dank hops. The flavor is sweet caramel malt, medicinal, pine, slightly dry finish, but needs more hops. Very smooth and light bodied. Not bad for $6.99 for a sixer.

garrison (717) - Cin. city, Ohio, USA - SEP 3, 2012
Purchased from the Northgate "Meijer’s" supermarket in a Cincinnati, Ohio suburb - Alright, even the Genesee brewery has gotten into making their brews more than just pisswater, and this is a good try. Yes, it’s bland and low key bodywise, but the distinct piney-citrus-malt flavor is there, and the beer is inexpensive!

merlin48 (656) - Jenkins, Kentucky, USA - FEB 5, 2011
Cheap beer from the grocery store. Pours a clear amber body with a small offwhite head that leaves some patch lacing on the glass. Aroma has some caramel malt and hints of vague earthy hops. Tastes the same. A vague hop bitterness balances the malt sweetness. Drinkable, but very pedestrian.

jhliesen (608) - West Melbourne, Florida, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Bottle--nice head and golden color with a larger amount of carbonation. The aroma is malty with little hops. Taste was a watered down malt and slightly creamy finish A run of the mill beer. ABC.

Reimer96 (594) - Alberta, CANADA - MAY 10, 2013
Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head on top. Aroma pale malts, faint citrus and some sweet floral notes. Taste is faintly sweet malts, light citrus and a harsh but bland bitterness. Wow glad I split this bottle.

tnkw01 (581) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 21, 2012
Bottle. Deep yellow color like straw. Not much head. Aroma was watery and slightly skunky. Not much flavor, hoppy and watery. Probably really good lawn mower beer.

JJClark (550) - Roscoe, Illinois, USA - JAN 24, 2011
Bottle. Pours a light copper color with a small white head. Aroma of caramel malt and light hops. Taste of malt, hops and bit of floral with some citrus. Has a smooth and light finish. Not a bad brew just nothing exciting about it.

andrewturba (456) - Alberta, CANADA - APR 2, 2013
Pours a mostly clear golden-amber colour with a small white blanket on top. Aroma is light grass and citrus hops with a sweet maltiness mixed in. Flavour is a grassy, mild bitterness throughout, an initial faint malt sweetness and overall a bit watery. This is a result of sherbrookes shelf of wounded singles which in the past has been known to pay off quite well from time to time or in this case be a bit of a dud not to say this is a terrible beer but it isn’t a memorable one.
