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.

Not being a huge fan of pale ale, I was immensely surprised by how much I liked this beer. Pours orangish-amber with just a touch of cloudiness. The thick beige head leaves nice lacing. The aroma is primarily citrus and hops, but there are notes of malt. Very smooth and a bit oily on the palate. Very nice flavor with a superb mix of hoppy bitterness and malty smoothness. Citrus and bread flavors lead to a smooth finish. Very nice brew.

Pours a clear golden orange on tap with fluffy white head and moderate lacing. Aroma is faint, bready pale malt and slight earthy hop. Taste follows, light and crisp. Meh.

This was one of the first Pale Ales I had back in the day. Nice and smooth with not too much character for its higher abv.

Bamsen78 (811) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear light amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of hops, malt and caramel. Bitter, hoppy flavour with subtle, sweetish caramel touches, endning dry and sticky. Rich carbonation. OK but nothing really impressive.

MiP (12136) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 14, 2013
Bottle, 6.0%. Weak caramelly malt aroma. Clear amber/copper colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is caramelly with an OK grassy and piney hop note. Rather sweet, I think. Could have used more bitterness to counter the sweetness, but other than that quite OK.

Draft at Momos. Clear copper pour with a foamy white head. Faint grassy and floral hop aroma with crystal malt. Flavor is similar and subdued. Easy and non offensive beer.

A nice orange colour with small frothy head. Sweet aroma. Aftertaste of caramel while smooth on palate. Did not set senses alight. Solid.

Tap - fair size foamy head, light copper color, earhty hop aroma and flavor, not a ton a of hops but fair amount, mild malt backbone - decent pale ale I guess, but nothing special

Vignale (1364) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 8, 2013
Flaska på Nya Tröls. Mörkt gyllenfärgad, klar. Doft av söta aprikoser och persikor samt lite citrus och tall. Även smaken har en lätt fruktig sötma och en snäll beska. Bra maltbas, lättdrucken, rena god smaker.
