Beer Descriptions

NOW POURING AT THE ROCKFISH GRILL!

Scarlet Letter IPA (ABV 6.5% / 85 IBU)   Our Red IPA sports a deep copper color, an alluring citrus hop aroma and a satisfying juicy mouthfeel. A synergistic malt character is supported by Alba, Munich & Premium two-row while Columbus, Equinox & Bitter Gold provide a balanced bitterness and resounding hop flavor that lingers through a dry finish. “The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where others dared not tread.”

Deception Pass Pale Ale (ABV 4.7% / IBU 45) A refreshing ale made with 2 row and Munich malts, Mosaic hop in the boil and dry hopped with Simcoe. New recipe for a popular favorite!

Arts Festival Amber (ABV 5.5% / IBU 40) The official beer of the Anacortes Arts Festival, this elegant northwest-style Amber Ale is medium bodied with a subtle malty character. Columbus & Cascade hops provide a crisp balance.

Peppercorn Saison (ABV 6.3% / IBU 15) The most quaffable of our Belgian beers, we add four different types of peppercorns (black, green, pink and white) to give our traditional Saison a savory flavor that compliments it’s dry finish.

Erie Oatmeal Stout (ABV 6.5% / IBU 18)   Named for the highest point on Fidalgo Island, Mount Erie, this beer is big and roasty on the front end with an inviting chocolate aroma. It’s full flavored with a silky medium-body and a bittersweet coffee note. Columbus, Perle & Cascade provide a delicate balance for a smooth and dry finish.

March Point Porter (ABV 5% / IBU 35) A rich, dark ale named for the northeastern peninsula of our island, this beer features complex flavor from 4 malts and Perle & Cascade hops. Chocolate malt dominates taste and color in this otherwise balanced brew.

Whistle Lake Weizen (ABV 4.7% / IBU 18)  Our award-winning Hefeweizen has a cloudy golden color and a full, fruity aroma. Bavarian yeast produces striking banana & clove. This summertime favorite is light-bodied with mild tartness finishing relatively dry – the perfect thirst quencher!

Original IPA (ABV 6.7% / IBU 80)  Our classic northwest style IPA has a good hop character supported with a sturdy backbone. Columbus, Cascade & Simcoe are dry-hopped in the fermenter producing moderate citrus and stone fruit aroma yielding to bold, prolonged hop flavor and bitterness.

Knucklehead Red (ABV 4.5% / IBU 20)   Named after 92.9 KISM radio’s popular “9:30 Knucklehead” show, this session beer uses just a touch of caramel malt for color and body. It’s lightly hopped for balance and lower alcohol so you can have a couple without becoming a knucklehead!

Oyster Run light (ABV 4.0% / IBU 8)  The official beer of the Oyster Run, the largest motorcycle rally in the Pacific Northwest. This beer is straw-colored, hopped for balance and lighter in alcohol. Get your motor runnin’ with this great tasting light beer!

Czech Pilsner (ABV 5.8% / IBU 40)   Bohemian style lager with light golden color from pale & Munich malts, distinct hop character from Saaz hops and lagered for eight weeks providing smoothness and subtle malt flavor.

Day of the Dead Mexican Lager (ABV 4.5 % / IBU 14) This beer is made with 2-row pilsner malt and flaked maize for a nice light body. Hopped with Tett and Perle for balance this is a nice easy drinker perfect for the change in the weather.

Sunrise IPA (ABV 6.1% / IBU 60) This bright modern style IPA is augmented with Lupulin powder packing a juicy citrus aroma. Skagit Valley malt, Vienna malt and oats combine for a medium mouth feel.  Late addition Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic hops add a bold, crisp finish.

Imp. Brown (ABV 8.2% / IBU 60) This beer is brewed using various aromatic specialty malts and has a prominent hop character from mild American Noble varieties.

Cream Bee (ABV 6.5% / IBU 21) Brewed with close to 50 lbs of local honey and all pilsner malt to give this light ale a straw color, while Hallertauer and Spalter hops provide just the right amount of balance for a crisp, smooth finish.
