Jun 2, 2008 I had this one a while back. I wasn’t really impressed with this beer, i thought it was a little weak for an autumnal ale. it pours a bright copper colour with a consistent amount of sweetness in the lightly malted finish as well as the aroma.

May 20, 2008 12 oz bottle: Coppery red pour with a skimpy head. The nose offers a nice dose of caramalized malt with toffee, buttery bread and a touch of sweet chocolate. While the nose displays the delicate nature of the crystal malts, the body is a bit more astrigent and forced. Scattered notes of sugary malt are jumbled with some alcohol pepper and watery caramel. Drinks easy, but I was hoping for more after the nice olfactory introduction.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle sampled from Capones. pours amber with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, roast, and a mild hop presence. The flavor is slightly sweet caramel, slight roast and mild traces of bitterness in the finish.

Mar 29, 2008 Oct. 2007 - Maybe I’m rating a little harsh...there was nothing actually wrong with this beer. Pour was copper, clear and a decent head and actually nice lacing. Very faint aroma of nutty malts. Flavor was weak caramel, some nuttiness and a very mild bitterness. A bit watery, thin and weak all the way around, though. These Redhook beers are just a bit weak and underwhelming.

Feb 23, 2008 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of slight roasted malts, dark fruits, and slight hop aroma. Flavor is the same and doesn’t linger long. Not really all that good.

Feb 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a crystal amber in color with a pure white head. The aroma is citrusy, hoppy with a touch of honey. Upon tasting, there is a good balance of hops and a malty sweetness. It finishes warm and a bit alcoholic. One of my favorite autumn offerings.

Feb 3, 2008 Alright. Moderate head, similar to the Redhook ESB. Fairly bitter to my taste buds, not one of my favorite autumn brews.

Jan 31, 2008 12 oz bottle from KAggie97. Pour is clear copper amber with an off white head. Aroma of sweet malt and a touch of grassy hops. Taste is more hop than malt, but not really all that much of either. Taste also features some chemical sweetness which is off-putting. I wasn’t too crazt about this one, but I was very glad I had a chance to try it. Thanks Kevin!
