A return to the Big Bottle Beer, as I found I had one more in the pipeline thanks to Cullen (part of my Fathers Day present).A second by this brewery, and to be honest, not that different than the first, at least after drinking a bit of it and rereading that blog. It has the same orange-brown color, same hops finish after a malty start. Perhaps there is a difference, but again I feel it is a bit over on the malt side, which makes it somewhat heavy.
Specs:
Full Name: Red Rocket Ale
Brewed By: Bear Republic Brewing Co
From: Cloverdale CA
ABV: 6.8%
Upon reflection, it could be that I am going about this incorrectly, as I could see this as a decent beer when it is cold outside. Perhaps I could try and focus my timing based on the season, and drink lighter ones over the summer and go heavier come next fall/winter. Of course, that would require planning, forethought and my foregoing spontaneous consumption. Yeah right, that's not going to happen... ;>)
Happy 4th weekend. May your bbq's turn out great, and your cooler be filled with good beer.
