Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Latrobe Beers

A decade or so ago, the same folks who brought us Rolling Rock decided to try their hand at a few different beers. These didn't last, but they were pretty good. Here are my old notes about a few of them.

Latrobe American Pale Ale
Beer score: 6.8

Very smooth and wet with a strong bitterness on the way down. Tasted a little like an India pale ale with a hint of fruity sourness.

Latrobe Bavarian Black
Beer score: 6.0

The bottle said this was a "black" lager, but it had the texture and taste of a maple porter. This one wasn't for beginners, but there was nothing extremely exciting about this beer. Still, it was worth a taste or two.

Latrobe Bohemian Pilsner
Beer score: 7.4

It had a strong bitterness for a pilsner, definitely stronger than the typical pilsner. It was wet with a flat texture faintly similar to a bitter, though somewhat stronger. Not a bad brew, so I'm sorry it's not still around.
