Haven't had any Rock Bottoms since I was in the Midwest (Milwaukee). Thought I'd give this a try while I was tasting at the San Diego International Beer Festival.

A little darker than most ipas. Came off an opaque kind of brown if that makes sense. Aroma was disappointing, seemed like they put just a smidge of simcoe and amarillo in just to say they did. Taste, unexceptional, almost boring. Good? Sure. Good enough for a place that is a restaurant first, chain second, brewery third. Would I drink it again? If I was at the restaurant, yeah, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this. Was too heavy on the caramel which drowned out the hops and bitterness.
