BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Apr 1, 2009 Bottle Pours out a amber topped with a small sand head. Aroma of a light hop with a so so malt. Tast was of malt and a little bitter on the end. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Mar 12, 2009 Bottled 08/11/08. Poured amber with a off-white head that left light lace. Subdue malty aromas. The flavor found toasted malts and light spices. Light body. Nothing bad just subdued overall. jgb9348 (2492), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Jan 17, 2009 Amber coloured body with a small white head. Aroma of fresh hops and a bit of caramel malt. Medium-bodied; Strong fresh hop taste, very surprising for this beer with a good malt backbone. Aftertaste has a bit of hop bite (good thing) with mostly malty flavours. Overall, a decent amber ale - good flavours throughout. I sampled this beer on draught as a sampler at the Shirlington Oktoberfest in Arlington, Virginia on 07 October 2006. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a light tan head with a clover honey body. Smells of hops, tin, and biscuits. Tastes like bitter honey biscuits. smith4498 (822), Miami, Florida, USA Jan 5, 2009 Pours clear copper color with off white head. Light malt aroma. Biscuitty flavor with some caramel and a slight hop bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation. Average at best. pjweaver (133), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 Fluffy pale yellow head. Pours a dark honey color. Slight hop aroma, huge tea tannins on the nose. Tingly acidic taste with a sour foamy palate. Not very enjoyable. kamish (92), Lake Stevens, Washington, USA Dec 29, 2008 pretty good. the best brew from red hook ive tried yet. ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a clear, dark copper with a bit of white head. It smelled like caramel and barley malts with light copper hops. It tasted like earthy barley malt mixed with roasted toffee and a bit of copper hops. It was slightly thick with a bit of carbonation, and had a bittersweet aftertaste. Overall this did not have a super clean or bold flavor.
