Kona Fire Rock: Actual fire not included
Fire Rock Pale Ale by Jeff HollandCrisp, refreshing, with just a hint of tropical fruitKona Brewing Company Kona, HI (brewed in Portland, OR) 5.8% ABV Kona’s American pale ale has a lighter body than is suggested by its glowing, copper orange color. The faint aroma of sweet malts and floral, citric hops suggest a British IPA more than an American pale ale. Smooth, sweet malts are up front in the taste, with appropriate notes of tropical fruits and a modest backing of orange citrus. The bitterness is mild, but sufficient enough for a satisfyingly crisp finish. A light-to-medium body, a pleasantly bright carbonation, and a clean character make for easy drinking and a refreshing feel. Fire Rock would be a perfect accompaniment to summer food like a Caprese sandwich on crusty bread, bean salad, or fruit and cheese.
