Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale From Kona Brewing

Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Ricky in Kona Brewing

I wanted to try my hands at pairing a beer to a very casual dinner. We made some toasted sandwiches with ham, turkey, salami and pepperoni with a delicious mild cheddar cheese for the main course and cheeseburger macaroni for our side. People don’t usually think of what beers would go good with regular food but I think this was a great match!

The beer pours with perfect head (as you can see in the picture). It’s right about an inch to an inch and a half of head. The beer is amber yellow and has mild lacing. The smell is very well balanced with slightly citrus caramel smell. The beer has a very sweet pleasantness that paired perfect with the food. The hops contrasted with the mild flavor of the macaroni and helped strengthen the meats to be extra flavorful. This is the kind of beer that could be mixed with any meal. Extremely drinkable with excellent flavor. One of my absolute favorites if you are looking for something mild and very drinkable!
