Comments
Fire Rock better than Rolling Rock
Kona's Fire Rock Pale Ale was amber in the glass with a thumb-thick head of tiny bubbles which slowly receded to ample lacing and a filmy cap.
This smells of piney hops, citrus, and toffee.
Taste is resin, grapefruit, and bread.
Feels medium bodied with a coating of carbonation which excites the tongue before smoothly transitioning to the brew.
Much better than what I was expecting, but still rather ordinary.
