Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale


















































Bear Republic Brewing Company
Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale
Healdsburg, CA
7/8/2009, on tap at Frisco Grille, 6.8 abv

Smell

Smelled like refried beans, peppers, cheese and corn tortilla...oh wait, that was my burrito...nevermind.

Appearance

Deep mahogany with a fairly thin head with moderate carbonation.

Taste

Pretty intense for a red/amber ale. Starts with caramel and brown sugar sweetness then smacks you in the face with hoppy spicyness that lingers for quite a while.

Comments

I enjoyed the pain. Another winner from Bear Republic.

The burrito was good by the way.
