Fire Rock

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Fire Rock
  • Brewery: Kona Brewing Company (Hawaii)
  • Style: Pale Ale
  • ABV: 6%
  • IBU: 35
  • Pour Color: A amber slightly cloudy shade



      The head of the beer was quick to shrink after it was poured. As I get close a slight hint of hop hits the nose. First sip and a mild hop flavor is tasted. For a pale ale this one is mostly malt. Not much thickness though, as it washed back off my hairs easy. A real earthy pale. As far as the hops goes don't have to fear this fire rock like the real thing.
      How can you pass up trying some beer from the big island. Especially in winter just dreaming of that tropical paradise. You don't see a lot of craft beer from Hawaii, but Kona really does have some good stuff. I myself would prefer a Long Board Lager to this one. Overall an ok pale ale though.
