Red Rocket Ale

Red Rocket Ale

After my immature part was laughing over the name of this beer, I was ready to take this beer seriously. I was excited since I knew it was from Bear Republic. You probably know them from their most popular beer Racer 5 (past BOTW on here).

So, did this red meet my expectations? Oh it did. That and much more. It poured a beautiful dark amber. The white head gave off a great visual contrast. Happily, the taste matched the appearance. Great malty notes. Caramel was present throughout my sips. It had a sense of smokiness going on that I really enjoyed. I’d really like to find this one on tap. I think that’d be the icing on the cake.
