Red Rocket Ale
got this beer as an extra from inperson trade with Duff27. Thanks chris! poured into tulip glass. Appearance: muddled brown bodied beer with a red hue when held up to light. Generous 2 fingers head with thick lacing every where on the tulip glass. Smell: It is hop forward nose mainly consisting of pine and grapefruit. You can smell some caramel sweetness from the malt profile as well. Taste: Moderate hop bitterness than strikes an almost immediate balance with the caramel malty sweetness from a decent malt profile. Biscuity malt flavors are present in there too. The hops are still the star of the beer, but the malts just add a nice hint of sweetness to this beer for balance and complexity. The beer finishes with a piney hop washout that is quite enjoyable. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied beer with a lively moderate carbonation. The beer is crisp and clean. It easy drinking beer with a nice flavor profile and is well balanced. Overall: I have never tried any Bear Republic beers and this put them on my radar. Really nice beer for this style and it reminds me of Zoe from Maine Beer Co. Its a good beer for any beer drinking occasion.
