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 served in a shaker glass. Pours clear amber with a thin capping of head. Smells vaguely malty with with some caramel and a hint of citrus. The flavor is nutty with some grass and citrus notes in the background. Has almost an IPA level of bitterness under a full body. Not bad but not memorable either.

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.

Shared by HogTownHarry with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Golden orange with a small white head. Aroma: A little malty with black breakfast tea, a little floral hops but not much. Flavour: Hops with tea again, roasty, a tiny bit woody with a bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle ( 12oz ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus. Clear orange-amber, small diminishing off-white frothy head. Slightly sweet aroma, orange peel and light herbal bitterness. Taste follows, a bit papery. Light body, slightly astringent, not much carbonation, and a little harsh in the finish. Another "meh" 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.
