Redhook IPA

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Woodinville, Washington USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Some malty notes in the nose and a little piney hops. The flavor is of a weak, watered down IPA. I guess I am just used to more kick from an IPA. This beer should be served as "an intro to IPA’s". Not much going on.

12oz Bottle.Pours a nice clear amber with a foamy white head.Aromas of grass,grapefruit,malt and hop.Tastes of grapefruit,citrus,malt,fresh cut grass and hops .This is a nice IPA and not too overpowering .

Pours a clear bubbly gold with fizzy white head. Looks like bud. Aroma is very nice though: Citrus, hoppy, floral and slightly sweet. Flavor is a bit light, hoppy and sweet, grassy and smooth finish. Overall, good session ipa.

Bottle to pounder (shaker). Pours out a nice amber/gold colour with a bubbly head that slowly recedes. Scent is obviously hoppy with citrus and grain in the backdrop. Taste is grainy with hops balancing it out... Not very bitter for an IPA but very drinkable. Taste is nice and palateable with nice hoppy/ citrus/ grain/ grassy earthiness that carries on into and through the finish. Nice balance but not too much character.

On tap - This was quite good. Maybe not as assertively bitter as many IPAs on the market, but a nice background hoppiness that balances the sweet body. Awesome hop aroma (piney) and flavor (citrusy).

Pours an orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is grassy, hoppy, and citrusy. Flavor is very nice with great hoppy kick to it. Finish is somewhat dry. Over all I thought this was a great brew and the fact that me had a keg of it made it much better. Nice brew.

12 oz bottle ..golden pour, thin wispy white head, decent lace. spicy -piney aroma .malty- caramel flavor dominates with a slight hop bitter. tad thin , very dry finish . not a bad IPA but not a great one either.

Good hop aroma, but very lacking in the mouthfeel department. Tastes watered down for sure. Good hop presence, but no malt to speak of really.
