Red Rocket Ale
Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a room temp. pint glass. Dark brown color, not quite like a stout but dark for this style, with a creamy tan head. Looks delicious. Smells like a nice combo of malts and hops, pretty strong on the hops as to be expected from the guys at Bear Republic. The taste is a little backwards, hops up front with a bit of malty flavor towards the back of each sip. Superbly balanced, almost overdone on the hops but not quite. Definitely at that fine line, but not across it. I'm quite impressed once again with Bear Republic. Fantastic beer.
