3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a lighter yellow color with a small head. Floral aroma. A bit thin on the palate. Typical citrusy IPA flavor was a bit on the weak side. This was a pretty average IPA

This was my virgin IPA on tap at RFK. Smelled wonderful. Much better than the Miller Lites I had. Hoppy and chocolate? Fruity? I just know it was good, and led me on to this web site looking at new brews. Since then I’ve tried many others, but the Redhook is a good light flavored IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle. Orange colored body with white head. A nice aroma of citrus and some apricot. Flavor is very harmonic indeed, a nice distinct hoppy flavor with a pleasant malt sweetness. A smooth mouthfeel and an appropriate bitter aftertaste. Not an outstanding beer, but so enjoyable when your just in for a taste of a nice flavorful beer.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
white head, golden yellow, clear, hoppy, wheat flavor. Good for a spring day.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Clear light orange. Aroma of pine and citrus. Flavor and palate on the wimpy side in terms of west coast IPA. PIne/citrus hop-caramel malt elements are there but don’t particularly grab your tongue like they should, and this one ends up as kind of a watery shadow of the style.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Redhook IPA
12 oz bottle
Recent bottling, chuggalugged 09/06
Medium pour in a tulip glass
Poured clear amber with a small creamy white mostly diminishing head with fair lacing.
Smelt of moderate spruce and light toasted grain.
Flavor was upfront moderate bitter sprucey hops and light acidic citrus followed by a light piney bitterness and a hint of sweet orange and bananas for a moderately long finish. Mouthfeel was light and watery with lively carbonation.
Overall, it tastes like a good IPA, but offers nothing out of the ordinary.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Typical IPA, with a heavy hop aroma followed by a medium body and sharp hop bite. Body was a little light on this.

okay hoppy aroma. i like this beer so much better on draft. the bottle does it no justice. not really that bitter. this is good when you are at a bar or restaurant that features mostly the bmc’s
