Fire Rock Pale Ale Review

Kona Brewing Company
Kona, Hawaii


6% abv
12oz bottle
$9.99 a six pack
Also listed on the bottle for brewing facilities:
Portland, OR; Woodinville, WA; Portsmouth, NH

Appearance: fairly clear; bright copper body; half finger white head that did not stay around long; no lacing


Aroma: weak nose overall; hint of floral, spice, and biscuit

Flavors: better than the nose; on the bottle it says, ‘…rich roasted malt tastes.’ I was expecting a malty profile; oh, no it’s not; soft white pine; touch of lemon peel; and nice roasted grains

Bought this LP album (Hawaiian Paradise) for 50 cents
and bought the album frame from Ikea for around 8 bucks
Mouthfeel: smooth wool; moderate-light bitterness; active carbonation; crisp; light-moderate spicy style; lingering lemon peel water;


To the Point: not bad and with that said it is not great either; Okay to good; let me give it an 83% for a B grade; easy to drink; simple; pleasing; Should pair well with white fish or a good Spam sandwich.
