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.

Very light amber, almost dark orange with moderate off white head that leaves some lace. Light scents of caramel malt and roasted barley with fruity and floral hops slightly dominating. Sweet lightly roasted malts and nice hop bittering throughout. Mostly roasted barley, caramel, light ripe fruit and bit of citrus before the woodsy bittering takes over. Moderate-heavy carbonation, but not too stingy. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Pretty drinkable.

Pint @ Harrisons. Ok aroma, sweet, biscuity cardboard, minor citrus. Clean brownish orange color, good head & lace. Bitter sweet flavor. citrusy grassy bitterness, a cardboard streak that dulls flavor, lite tofffe maltiness. medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Eh, ok, no pronounced citrus/floral for me though, kind of avarage at best.

Second taste of Hawaii beer I got to enjoy last week. I have to say that this wasn’t too bad, but then again wasn’t that good either. Aroma is pretty sweet, almost too much in my opinion, the hops come in at the last moment to save it. The pour is nothing special, yellow orange with a thin off-white head. Taste is again sweet of malts up front with a punch of hops just in the nick of time to save it from abomination. This was ok, not too bad after a long day in the sun.

Bottle from the Trump hotel is Las Vegas. Pours a light amber with a thick white head. The aroma is full of citrus hops and some caramel. The taste was basically a nice balance between a caramel malt and smooth hops, some bitterness in the finish. Very drinkable.

Pours dark amber, clear, with thin white lacey head. Aroma is mellow and roasted. Flavor begins with a nice kick of roasted malt then develops into a very nice hop and citrus finish. Overall a good pale ale, I’d have it again.
