Nov 17, 2007 Clear copper body with a short, rapidly dissipating white head. Sweet, then moderately bitter and dry in finish. Drinkable but no outstanding qualities.

Nov 16, 2007 Orange copper in color with a soapy looking head. Definitely has a smoky malt aroma and a medicinal bitter aftertaste. It starts good but finishes bitter.

Nov 10, 2007 Bottle. Nice aroma of malted strawberry with just a touch of crisp, cool autumn breeze. Nice amber body with a small head. Hoppy with a fruity malt finish; bits of roasted nuts in their as well. Leaves a lingering bitterness on the tongue that never offends. Average mouthfeel. A decent- but not spectacular- beer.

Nov 8, 2007 Bottled on 7/18/07. Poured an ugly, cloudy medium orange with very little carbonation and only the faintest dusting of head. My first impression from the aroma was "American wheat ale".. had that sweetened-up-to-make-it-tolerable/intriguing/palatable character to it.. some of the sweetness appeared berry-related.. I just didn’t dig it. The flavor was a little more agreeable.. lightly-toasted berries and caramel at the core with a mild grassy/herbal hop presence.. more berries on the finish, which made it a bit hard to choke down.. decent mild smoky accents throughout. Lighter-bodied with lower carbonation on the palate.. man.. I just didn’t care for this.

Nov 4, 2007 Bottle. Poured fire orange with a very small off white head. Aroma was sweet roasted malts. Taste is very well balanced. Malts are pleasant and not too sweet. There’s also a good hop note. Finish is wonderful--malty sweetness really comes through. A good amber.

Oct 30, 2007 Wasn’t sure this was an amber ale when i saw it, but oh well. Very malty character in the nose and flavor, not much hops to be found. reddish thin hue with a thin watery taste.

Oct 29, 2007 Medium orange, nice head, biscuit accented aroma. Flavor concentrates on biscuit malts, and a faint hint of floral and earthy hops emerge before fading into a slightly roasty malt finish. Not bad. Always a shame that Redhook had to retire their best beer.

Oct 28, 2007 Pours a beautiful clear brown-orange with a nice thick head. Aroma is mostly malty, with a hint of spice and a fairly strong, but not alcohol, nip to it. Flavor is rich and zingy; both hops and malt are present, with hints of spices and a whisper of fruit. This ale goes down smooth and crisp but still has an edge to it.
