Jun 20, 2007 Hoppy nose is restrained yet somewhat complex and unusual. Starts melony with cantaloupe and casaba, perhaps a touch of peaches and solvent. A green apple? Maybe a rye bread type malt is present, but I wouldn’t expect it from the golden color, with a thin layer of clean white foam. Flavor starts hoppy (vaguely resiny, somewhat floral like noble hops), but feels empty, again a lack of malt. Finish is mildly bitter, and pretty vacant.

Jun 23, 2008 Draught. Pours light copper, with a small white head. Aroma is slight hops, citrus and pine. Flavor is hoppy, and has at least a little bit of malt to back it up. A little watery in the finish. Not too bad, I can’t believe Red Hook would even consider brewing a beer over 6% ABV.

Aug 1, 2007 Updated: Dec 27, 2007Clean and crisp ipa with a simple finish and good hop content. Nothing special but not a bust, easily drinkable.

Mar 9, 2009 Bottled. Thanks larsniclas.
Clear golden colour. Vanilla, tropical fruits and rubber balloon in aroma. Flavourwise, it’s a bit subtle with a doughy maltiness as well as vanilla. Pretty good bitterness, that comes early and leaves late, just like an annoying guest. The maltiness is a bit disappointing.

Jan 23, 2008 gold color with a quickly disappearing white head. Smell is of hops and taste is appropriately bitter. Not much of a fruit presence. Overall not bad

Mar 12, 2007 Bottle: Pale golden, somewhat dirty, slight haze, minor bits floating about, large rocky white head, fairly nice lacing. Decent looking at least. Dirty earthen hop nose, astringent citrus peel, slight pine. Definite citrus peel on the tongue, a little bright and rough around the edges. Mild bitterness, citrus peel based. Quick finish, very slight metallic aftertaste. Body and mouthfeel are moderate, at best. Lingering grainy malt character after the astringent citrus bitterness dies down. Pretty much what I expected from Redhook, a subpar example of the style. Not disgusting mind you, just not interesting enough to ever have again.

Mar 23, 2008 (bottle - 12 oz) Hazy light orange color with a very thin and soapy white head. Aroma is hoppy and floral with some notes of grapefruit and malt. Flavor tastes like a pretty standard IPA; bitter and floral hops at the beginning with a lightly sweet and citrusy middle with a very slight bitter finish. Aftertaste is almost nonexistent.
