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.

A fine american pale ale. Pours nicely coppery, with small white head. the nose is floral hops and yet still surprisingly sweet. Hops rule the flavor and is lack of density separate the from an IPA.

Deep amber brown pour with a good foamy white head that sticks around. Nice caramel malt and citrus hop aroma. Very refreshing, well balanced flavor. This is a seriously good six-pack pale ale!

Pours orange with a good thick white head. Aroma of roasted malt, taste is sugary/caramel malt, with a note of spices (maybe light touch of ginger or cinnamon) and citrus. Slightly hoppy, well balanced.

Bottle from the grocery. Wow, I wasn’t expecting this much. This is a crisp, hop-forward APA that finishes cleanly and tastes delightful going down. An "A" session beer.

Very good!!! A perfect balance of malt and hops (aren’t APA’s great?). Also has a nice deep, dark amber/coppery color. Highly recommended!

This is a pretty decent pale ale. Not usually my favorite style I enjoyed the nice amberish color wtih a small head. Malt and hops are present in this surprisingly tasty beer.
