Commercial Description:
Fire Rock Pale Ale is a crisp, refreshing “Hawaiian-style” pale ale. Its signature copper color results from the unique blend of specialty roasted malts. The pronounced citrus-floral hop aroma comes from the liberal amounts of Galena, Cascade & Mt. Hood hops added to each brew.

Bottled Sept 5, 2007. Clear amber, moderate head with decent lacing and retention. Aroma is grapefruity, floral, citric. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness, fairly clean with some atyptical (but good) hop flavor. Nice.

12 oz bottle.. pours a cloudy orangish brown with a crisp, light almost fruity scent. The flavor is somewhat bitter to me, subtle bite with a nice hoppy finish. Nice to the palate went well with stir fry chicken but did leave a lingering aftertaste. overall not a bad pale ale

This was nice. Poured an Orange red high gravity clear liquid with an off-gold head. Aroma was clean and nicely hopped and toasty with a hint of peach. Toasted grainy malts with slightly sweet fruitiness. A little yeast and butterscotch flavours towards the finish. Very nice.

12oz bottle acquired in trade. Pour is an amber-orange with a thin head of white lacy cream. Aroma is mild hops mixed with some toasty malts. Nice enough. Flavor shows off more of the hops but the malts do appear as more caramel-y in the finish. A nice little pale ale.

12 oz bottle in Maui and on tap at the brewery on Hawaii. Light copper pour with small white head. Hop and caramel malt aroma. Taste is malty with some citrus hop flavors. Finishes with a hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied mouthfeel.

pours a clear amber with a medium size off-white head. smell - grass, roasted nuts, hint of hops taste - light, watery, bit sweet, some nuts, not much in the flavor department.

On tap at the St. Louis Art Festival. Pours an orange amber color with a full rocky white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and hop flowers. Delicious pale and toasted malt sweetness along with a dry hopped bitterness and slight citrus flavor. Hopped more like an IPA, but very good and well balanced.
