hopIQ found 10 beers that share Red Rocket Ale's caramel and hoppy character. Sweet caramel malt carries this full-bodied, hoppy amber through to the finish. At 6.3% ABV, Red Rocket is a loose take on a Scottish-style red ale and goes back to the brewery's homebrew roots. It began as Ricardo's Red Rocket Ale, born in the same Healdsburg brewhouse that gave Bear Republic its Racer 5 IPA.
