Red Rocket Ale
A: The pour is rather dark for an amber, approaching brown, with a couple of fingers of tan colored head. S: Smells nice and hoppy with plenty of oily pine and grapefruit, particularly the rind. Quite a lot of caramel sweetness with a solid toffee and bread aroma. There's just a bit of a toasted character, too. T: The flavor is also quite heavy on the pine. The beer is very bitter but it is also nicely well balanced with a big base of caramel and toffee. Just a bit of citrus to go with the toasted bread/maltiness of the beer. M: This one is medium in body with a moderate level of carbonation and a bitter finish. D: This was one of the first "craft beers" that I had back when I turned 21 and while I didn't love it back then, I think it's pretty solid now.
