Redhook Late Harvest Autumn Ale

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

All and all red hook delivers another good beer. Pours a orangish amber color with small head that turns to a liner on top of the beer. Tastes malty with small bitter after taste, but a good bear.

Had on tap in a 20 oz. glass. Poured to a bright copper color with thin off-white head that lingered as a slight skim for most of the glass and left good lacing. Aroma was a malty mix of roasted nuts and dark fruits. Mouthfeel was somewhat tingly due to a good amount of carbonation and the flavor was fairly mutedm, but a pleasant mix of the malted fruit offset slightly by a taste of tangy citrus. This would make a good session beer.

(Bottled 8/6/07 from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/augusta/l target=blank>Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours clear amber with one finger of biege head that recedes to a thin covering. Aroma of some vanilla, egg and brown sugar. Mouthfeel light-medium full, a little pebbly. Some light, ringy lacing. Flavor is mostly some mild malty notes (vanilla, caramel, egg) with a light bitterness overlaying and carrying through finish. Not the most exciting beer but certainly not bad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
