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. A very nice pale ale, copper color, with a definite sweet taste initially balanced out with strong hoppy bitter aftertaste.

On tap at Koko Marina. Poured a clear gold/orange color with a small off white head. Aroma of malt and some grassy notes as well as citrus notes. Flavor was malty with a grassy bitterness. This is a good pale ale.

12 oz bottle pours medium golden yellow in color with a small (one finger) head that sticks around a bit. Grassy/herbal hop aroma with a slight caramel aroma. A small bit of pine in the hop bitterness, but in no way overwhelming. A slightly thin body did have a bit of sweetness, but also cereal type body. A different pale ale than what I am used to and not bad for the beer wastelands of Myrtle Beach. I was amazed that a bottle that was packaged in early Dec made its way all the way from Hawaii to SC in less than a month and for $6.99 a sixer, I was happily surprised.

Bottle. Definitely not fresh, zero hop presence, and a more developed maltiness than in a fresh, crisp pale ale, but despite that, showed some nice features. Rich caramel, honey, brown sugar, and steadily increasing cereals (oat, barley) made for an interesting beer. Would like to see what sort of hops this one presents, but Id drink it again in this form too.
