Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 24, 2009 Tanks bu11zeye. Darkish orange with a light beige head. Faint nutmeg and pumpkin aroma and the same faint flavor but with some caramel. Fair enough. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Sep 21, 2009 Pours orange with a big off white head. Aroma is light malt, bread, and a hint of hops. Flavor is caramel malt, medicinal hops, earthy. Elwood (659), Leesburg, Virginia, USA Sep 21, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Hazy amber with a foamy, off-white head. Okay head retention.
Aroma: Fruity nose with notes of biscuit, citrus, and light malt.
Flavor: Citrus, primarily orange, toasted malt, and light herbal hops. Nice and crisp. Perhaps a slight touch of tobacco as well.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a slick, medium mouthfeel. Crisp, medium-short finish.
Overall: A great bridge between the crisp summer brews and the maltier, heavier stuff of the fall and winter. Simple but tasty and highly sessionable. Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Sep 19, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Clear orange pour. Weak smell. Some sweet malts but really not much. Taste is smooth feeling with the lightest touch of malts. Weak taste as well. BeerBlockaid (538), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Sep 18, 2009 Got this brew at Total Wine. Not sure if it’s exactly Autumn yet, but that could be because I am in Florida. However, I did notice the sun setting sooner. booya! Well onto the brew. Pours a copper autumn gold with lots of lacing. Nose is burnt malts and some soil. Slight grass notes. In such a "robust" season such as the fall, with the change in mood, weather, hearts, and foliage, I would have hoped to have a brew more inspired from Redhook. Slight marzen flavours, but mainly mediocre roasted malts. Caramel and some sugars, but not much. Very easy to drink, but very hard to be inspired from. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Sep 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with no head over a clear golden orange body. Aroma of grass, body odor, grainy and light hops. Taste is sweet and grainy with what I swear is nearly a hint of watermelon (as odd as that may sound). Thin and dry mouthfeel. WVHouseofBeer (337), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA Sep 17, 2009 I believe this to be a decent beer for Red Hook, probably their best seasonal offering. A light brown body with a similar taste gives this malty session beer something to settle for on a poorly stocked beer shelf.
