Redhook Late Harvest Autumn Ale

Bottle. One of the sample 12 pack. A clear amber pour with a thin white head.Aroma of toasated caramel,warm bread,and faint spice like maybe nutmeg.Flavor is sort of a smooth nutty roasted caramel,rye bread,and very faint pimpkin, a small spicy hop finish.Feels pretty good in the mouth. Drinkable. I am suprised this was rated so low.

Smells of rich, sweet dark malts with lots of caramel notes. Taste is well-balanced dark malts and bitter/sour hops. Not bad, but expected something a little darker, a little less hops. Tasty

Bottle 355 ml, Appearance: Dark amber ale with neatly contrasting rocky medium plus top. Fragmental lacing. 4- Aroma: aromatic good blend of amber malts with breeze of hops. Slight woody hints upping. 6+ Flavour/Palate: Medium bodied . Soft textured , silky like. Mild sweet crystal malts with hint of Christmas spice. Slight accents of walnut and hops.

This reddish orange ale poured with a fluffy off-white head and a caramel aroma. The flavor is heavy roasted malt with a raspy bitter finish.

Pours a sparkling clear, orangey color with a fairly small, off-white, and fizzy head which is mostly diminishing and leaves minimal lace. Nose is faint with typical Saaz spice, faint toasted caramel, and hints at other spices (nutmeg?). Flavor is akward with the spicy and lightly rustic hop notes clashing with the light, rich caramel; other notes of light toasted breads and faint nuttiness. Palate is light to medium, lively, and thin. Finishes short with the moderately light bitterness lingering beyond the caramel sweetness. The hops and the malts do not match whic is a shame because the malt base could have been good. Not the best from RH.

12 oz bottle. Pours a lighter amber color with a nice big frothy off white head. There is very nice lacing and excellent head retention also. The nose is rather faint but I do pick up a dosing of spices. Typical autumn beer spices nutmeg, all spice and such, giving it that pumpkin pie aroma with a little hops at the end. Flavor is a little expected but not bad. It is a nice malty red ale with a dash of the above spices. There is no over powering spice profile going on like you get with most autumn or pumpkin beers. Just a little underlying flavor that plays off the base beer. Very nice and sessionable. The mouth isn’t too heavy but it has enough to suit. Good sesonal.

(bottle - 12 oz) Slightly hazy copper color with a puffy white head. Aroma is light and hoppy with some citrus and a light nutty note. Flavor is smooth and a bit nutty at the beginning with a nice blend of light hops and flowers. Some citrus near the end that has a slight malt sweetness. Aftertaste is a bit bitter and lasts for a few minutes.

Poured a clear amber color with a thin head. A nice malty aroma. A really nice taste. Great flow. A hint of caramel with the malt. Nice balance. One of the better autumn ales I’’ve had.
