Spawned from the English Brown Ale, the Red Rock version uses American hops. The bitterness and hop flavor is evident. The recipe for this was created by original Red Rock brew master, Eric Dunlap.

LOOK - 2 finger frothy head - nice and slightly hazy copper / brown color - decent retention
SMELL - not overly aromatic - some dark brown sugar / molasses - some caramel - some fig and tobacco
TASTE - nice bite of darker roasted grains and quite a bit of hop bitterness - tobacco notes and molasses come through - some scorched brown sugar notes are underneath - slightly sweet and slightly tart
FEEL - a bit thin for a brown I feel, but still in the medium bodied realm
OVERALL - this is a good brown - would buy again - better browns out there but this is a good drinking brew - this is a very hoppy brown and not a traditional brown or an English Brown

Had this at the Downtown location. Received in a pint glass.

4.0 A: Clear amber brown color. Small beige head that leaves glass covering lacing.

2.5 S: Really unexciting. Not really any nuttiness, too much roastiness, but sufficiently toasty. Herbal and citrusy hops, but not hugely hoppy.

2.5 T: Overly roasty without being toasty enough. Roast yields a bitter burnt astringency. No nut flavor and light herbal hops.

2.5 M: Medium body. A bit overcarbonated which makes it a bit bity. Not creamy.

2.5 D: Not a great brew.

A: Pours a clear ruby-brown with a creamy beige head.

S: The aroma is a bit weak, but there are some nice flavors in there. It's mostly nutty malt with some caramel and a light floral note.

T: The beer packs a lot of flavor for the abv. It's rich and lightly sweet. There's lots more nutty caramel coming from the malt. Good, mild bitter note in the finish.

M: Creamy and full.

O: Good stuff. This is a very nice, sessionable brown ale. I wasn't expecting much, here, but I'm a fan of this beer.

Pours with a thin lace and little to no head. The colow was a nice reddish amber. Hops were 1st on the nose and 1st on the tongue. I expecteda bit more malt. I thought it was a little thin but definitely one of the more drinkable beers they offer. Go ahead and try thins one

Dark reddish brown, clear and crisp to the setting sun that’s blinding me thru the window. Lightly foamy head. Rich malty aroma and likewise, the swallow is rich and malty ... little to no nuttiness or bitterness edge here, unfortunately. This is the "big and rich" of beers ... malt, malt, malt. But it’s good. (#2794, 4/12/2007)

On tap at Red Rock Salt Lake City, UT. Pours with a one-finger cream head, goes slowly leaving a thin layer and a good lace. Clear amber color. Light carbonation, medium body. Hoppy nose. Starts hoppy malts in background, no sweetness, hoppy finish with lingering aftertaste. $3.95 for a 16oz. glass.

This beer was an amber brown color with a nice coat of head over the beer. The color is just a bit light for my liking. The nose was caramel laced coffee with some good roasted qualities, though a bit weak. The beer tasted good, with the caramel and coffee being balanced out with a nice piney hop on the finish. The feel was moderate to thick, with a bit of a creamy texture as well. Overall, a nicely balanced beer that was easy to drink and got me to buy a whole pint after my sampler.
