Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale: Review


Bastardized Scottish style red ale
6.8% abv
12oz bottle
Bear Republic
Healdsburg, California, USA

Appearance: brown body with a tan bubbly head.

Aroma: oh, I like it already.  Piney, spice, deep caramel notes.

Flavors: soft bitterness of soft pine needles, toasted malts, dry raisin, grapefruit like on the aftertaste.  Very tasty overall. 

Mouthfeel: thick semi-creamy feel, pink grapefruit / piney twang on the tongue,

My Strength Rating: 8 – solid hop profile, long lingering notes,

To the Point: I’ll be buying more of this one.
