Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale


















































Kona Brewing Company
Fire Rock Pale Ale
Kona, Hawaii
9/27/2009, on tap at Frisco Grille, 5.8 abv

Smell

Aroma is a nice, but subtle blend of sweet malts and citrus hops.

Appearance

Clear reddish orange with a decent head.

Taste

The taste is a nice amount of sweet malts balanced nicely with citrus and pine hops. This beer is crisp and refreshing. The aftertaste is smooth and makes it easy to drink.

Comments

This is a very enjoyable pale ale. But again, I would rather be drinking this in Hawaii than here in Maryland.

  1. Ha! I bet you would! I'm looking to try this one from Kona as well - I see you enjoyed it. I had their Longboard Lager a few months back and it was really good.

    Interestingly enough, this brew is now made in New Hampshire @ the Red Hook brewery.

  2. New Hampshire? Well, that blows a little foam off of the head doesn't it.
