I’ve heard a lot of good things about [Main & Mill Brewing Co.](http://mainandmill.com/),
but haven’t had a chance to try anything. Well, this is my chance (sorry, not sorry).
I’d seen Rocco Gets His Chance on various St. Louis Beer Facebook Groups and was
drawn into the can. Luckily, I was able to get ahold of a can.

**ABV:** 6%
**IBU:** **Style:** IPA – New England**Brewery Description:** A super
fresh, hazy, Mario themed IPA, Rocco Gets His Chance is a 6% Hazy IPA with Hallertau
Blanc, Nelson Sauvin, and Simcoe hops giving notes of grapes, light pine and pineapple.

I received a can from a buddy. It was available at the brewery and some STL bottle
shops. It’s not listed on M&M’s website at this point and I don’t know if shops 
still have it.

**Appearance: **It poured a dark orange, almost copper, into my pint glass. Not 
super hazy and darker than many other hazy IPAs. There was about a half inch of 
head, with little retention or lacing.

**Smell: **Most of the aroma is piney. I got hints of the grapes, but not much or
the pineapple.

**Taste: **Unlike a lot of IPAs (hazy or west coast), this has more of a malt build
and less on the hops. You get a lot of pine and a little of the fruit; again, more
grapes than pineapple.

**Mouth: ** Clean and crisp. Not very juicy, like a lot of hazy IPAs. The carbonation
level was perfect.

**Overall**: It’s a well made beer, but doesn’t really fit the hazy IPA style. It
was very easy drinking and something that would be pretty good for a pool day or
after mowing.

**Rating: **3.50 out of 5. A solid beer, but nothing I’d go out of my way for again.
If the taste had more “juice” to it, I’d be all over more of it. +.50 for the can
design though.

The average rating on [BeerAdvocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/39335/501836/?ba=lemmy187)
is 3.75 (on 1 rating). The [Untappd rating](https://untappd.com/b/main-and-mill-brewing-company-rocco-gets-his-chance/)
is 3.79 (140 check-ins).
