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.

Bottle. Pours a golden light yellow. Aroma is weak, hint of sweetness and hops, but very mild. Flavors are watery, clean, a bit bitter, but not too much of anything.

12oz bottle poured into a Shaker at 46°. Color is a bright golden brown with mellow carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is a sweet sugar cookie scent with some light hops in back. Body is a lighter medium that goes down easy with a crisp feel. Finish is a malty grain like taste with a moderate bitterness and just a faint hop taste. After taste is a little bland with the bitterness hanging on. Overall its a boring little Pale Ale.

lct-cpr, seems standard english pale ale but with a hint of american standard lager (could be adjunct - not sure) or maybe something unusual about the galena or mt hood hops as i’m not real familiar with them.

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smell is of caramelmalt. Tastes of sweet malt, some licorice. A mildly bitter finish. The hops were difficult to place as so mild, more resin than citrus to my palate. Leaves some lacing behind. Refreshing.

The home brew I had prior to this was much better. Pours orange red with some bubbles and almost no head. Basic aromas of caramel and light citrus. Taste fades away quickly, leaving just a peppery bitterness to linger.

Great beer from Kona! Pours a clear illuminating orange colour. Decent sized head initially. Aroma is very floral. Fresh and full with citrus all over the nose. TAste is very mild on the hops. Well balanced. Best way I can describe this beer. Just a really fantastic easy going pale ale. Taste is delightful and floral with some cinnamon and caramel undertones.

12oz - Copper color with a fleeting tan head. Mild malt and hops on nose. Mild nutty flavor on first sip, no real power. Bland.

This is a tasty if fairly standard pale. Sweetish malty body, a touch of caramel to it. Grassy hops in the finish. Medium body. Very drinkable.
