Appearance: Surprisingly brown for a red ale. Clear and dark red/brown.
Aroma: Somewhat nutty, with a light hop smell.
Flavor: Malty with a nice balance of hop flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied.
Overall Impression: Excellent beer. I'd go out of my way for this one.
Comments: 6.8% ABV. Healdsburg, CA. From the label: "Red Rocket Ale is a bastardized Scottish style red ale packed with distinctive flavors and an aggressive hop character rivaled by none. This unfiltered, bottom-conditioned ale, amber colored ale, breaks all style molds."
