BrewDad (1805), Olympia, Washington, USA Dec 31, 2008 Taster – Red Rocks Brewing Co. – Salt Lake City, UT – Nice amber ale with some decent uses of malt. The flavor was pretty right on. Felt light but it was very tasty. I would drink this all day if I could. mikey (323), farmington, Utah, USA Aug 29, 2007 Poured from tap a dark copper color with a persistent white head. The nose was citrusy with light malts beneth. The taste starts with notes of caramel and a damn nice citrus hop bite. The hop bitterness dominates, since malt sweetness is fairly low in the end. As far as ambers go this is quite bitter; it tastes more like a pale. The finish was dry and refreshingly bitter. One of the hoppies ambers I’ve ever had. Even though the balance is a little off, I found this very refreshing and extremly drinkable. jcwattsrugger (4272), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 24, 2007 on tap-pours a white head and copper color. Aroma is faint citrus (cascade) hops. Taste is mild faint citrus (cascade) hops, faint medium malt. Mild carbonation. JoeMcPhee (4061), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jun 14, 2007 Amber colour with an off-white head. Very light citrus aroma, a bit of bready/biscuity malt and a soft caramel sweetness. A fairly low hop note but there are enough in here to balance it off. Moderate bitterness, light diacetyl (seems to be common in many of their beers) and a fairly slick texture. kwoeltje (1237), Manchester, Missouri, USA Jan 22, 2006 (as Red Rock Gold - may actually be a different recipe) Amber colored with small head. Faint malt aroma. Flavor well balanced between malts and hops.
