When in Kauai.....

Here I am, blogging to you straight from Kauai! I won't go into great detail, but this place is amazing. I am loving every minute of it. And of course, while I'm here it is a necessity that I explore some of the local brews. Here is the first I have tried: Fire Rock Pale Ale from Kona Brewing Co.

I'm actually quite impressed! It's nice and hoppy with a mild bitterness. What tastes unique, compared to many pale ales I've tasted, is a really flavorful maltiness and great mouthfeel. It is slightly sweet, a bit bready, and has a nice roasted/toasted flavor. I really enjoyed this beer, and if I didn't want to ruin my amazing beach body, I could easily drink several. It is perfectly balanced and not too strong at 5.8% abv. If you ever have a chance to try it, I highly encourage it. And obviously, if you ever have the chance to visit Kauai, it's a must!
