hayduke (1620), Eureka, California, USA Nov 25, 2007 From a 12 oz bottle this poured a rich amber color with white head and decent lacing. Nose of malts, citrus hops, with a decent mouthfeel. Flavors of malts and hops, with a mild and slightly bitter finish. I was surprised to learn it was an amber. Pretty good beer. decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Nov 22, 2007 A deep amber orange pour. Malt and spice on the nose. Malt flavor with a solid but subtle bitter. Semit sweet on the front. Mouthfeel is solid with good carbonation. A good beer not like most seasonals in that it is almost the plate of a good IPA without the hard bitter. I was surprised to find that it was an amber ale. TheBeerBaron (218), Florida, USA Nov 20, 2007 Rusty copper color, average off white head and no bubbles visible through an opaque hue. A strong malty aroma with distinct grapefruit tone. A light hinge of hops - overall, a wonderful smelling ale. Slightly thick palate that could do with more carbonation. Red Hook must have picked a citrus grove for their harvest. This Harvest Ale has a definite orange/grapefruit flavor. Heavy on the malt and then a balancing hoppy finish. Its a quirky tangy beer, but altogerhter enjoyable. Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2007 Thanks to Kaggie97 for handing me this as I stumbled away from his house. Amber color with a bit or orange hues. Nice head. Mildly malty nose with little else. Body is medium with some slightly spicy sweetness and some hops, maybe some nuts...but not much else. Eh. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Nov 19, 2007 12 oz bottle from City Market (September 2007) consumed from an Allagash glass at cellar temp or a little below….big smooth head, quick-fading, hazy amber body….minimal toasty-malty nose….pretty middle-of-the road profile on the tongue, bit too sweet and syrupy, very light on the hops with just a hint of citrus and soft pine at the finish….dull as hell but drinkable. crazyvin (1245), New York, USA Nov 19, 2007 poured a nice amber color with a slightly off white head. Aroma was mainly of caramel and some hops flavor was similar. Nothing special, just an easy to drink beer. molsonfan9000 (59), geneva, New York, USA Nov 18, 2007 good beer. amber color. faint smell of malts. finger thick head. taste is coffe or toffee ish. finish is mildly hopsy on the sides of tonge. mouthfeel is crisp with mild carbonation. Take a drink and rate the shit yourself, its a pretty good beer. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2007 Bottle from Capones, Amber pour with thin white head, mild caramel malt aroma with a mild hop finish. I think I tasted some citrusy notes in there as well. Eh just ok.
