The Bristol beer that started it all back in 1994 is lively and hoppy right up front, with a crisp finish--and just enough malt character to provide balance in between. Rocket's hop character comes from a blend of Perle, Willamette, and Cascade hops. Dry hopped with Cascade for a delectable aroma.

Poured from a bottle into a goblet. Rosy color with minimal head and lacing. A floral smell, tastes of toast, a little hop bitterness. Medium carbonation, altogether very easy drinking.

Pours a slightly cloudy dark golden/reddish color, pretty nice carbonation, with a nice small thick/creamy off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behing. The nose is slightly hoppy, with some malt notes, nice little citrus going on. The taste is hoppy, kinda malty, kinda citrusy. Medium body, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew.
