Redhook Late Harvest Autumn Ale

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

Bottle, but says 5.9% abv on it. Pours a nice copper color with a small, clingy, tan head. Taste is of caramel, roasted malt, and hops. Sweet tasting, with a bitter, dry finish. Clean and very easy to drink. Caramel and malt aroma. Overall, this is a pretty decent beer, that is easy to drink in large quantities. I’d say it is worth purchasing again.

Hazy bronze appearance with an average size head and very good lacing. Earthy, caramel malt aroma. Taste is fairly sweet, but not cloying. Toasted malts up front with enough Saaz hops to keep things in balance and add a slightly spicy dimension. Dry, moderately bitter, medium length finish. Matches up well to your basic domestic Octoberfest.

Amber color with a moderate off-white head. Not much aroma, other than a little malt, and maybe some hops. Flavor is sooth, but watery. Drinkable but forgettable.

Nice auburn color. Sweet malty aroma. Favor had a nice bit of roasted maltiness, but definitely more hops than I was expecting. Good good balance. I approve. Solid brew.

Another sample at the KSBF 08- Beer poured a light orange copper with white head. Light pallet with a bread and weak grain presence. Fizzy and a hop dryness, in the end bland and watery.

Tap @ Tacomac, johns creek. clear copper color, light tan creamy looking head. . Flavor is like a lightly spiced fall seasonal attempt of a pumpkin/autumn brew. Light aroma of toasted malts, even lighter hops. It’s your basic amber ale. 2,4,3,4,9

Bottle. Pours rich amber with a smallish tan head. Aroma is heavy on grain and sweet fruit. Taste is lightly acidic and rather sweet with a lightly bitter finish. Overall not a bad beer for the early fall season. I think it will quickly lose it’s appeal once the outside temp drops below 70 though.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white to light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (cookie, caramel, grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a light note of peach. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Reasonably pleasant (if simple) aroma, but marred by a somewhat dirty aftertaste (much as with Sam Adams beers). Ehh.
