The most patriotic hot-weather treat is the Rocket Pop — the iconic red, white and blue popsicle.
This summer you can taste it as a beer.
The latest: WeldWerks Brewing in Greeley recently released Rocket Pop Parade, an imperial sour ale with the same cherry, lemon and blue raspberry flavors as the popsicle.
Fun fact: It's actually brewed with Rocket Pops, also known as Bomb Pops and Firecrackers.
John's tasting notes: This is a dangerously refreshing beer at 8.5% ABV that starts sweet and finishes with a tartness that isn't too sour. It's a nostalgic flavor that quenches your thirst on hot summer days.
