stegosaurus (1883), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 25, 2008 Bottle sampled from Capones. pours amber with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, roast, and a mild hop presence. The flavor is slightly sweet caramel, slight roast and mild traces of bitterness in the finish.
phishpond417 (1162), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 2, 2008 I had this one a while back. I wasn’t really impressed with this beer, i thought it was a little weak for an autumnal ale. it pours a bright copper colour with a consistent amount of sweetness in the lightly malted finish as well as the aroma. SpudClampDawg (901), Jasper, Indiana, USA May 20, 2008 12 oz bottle: Coppery red pour with a skimpy head. The nose offers a nice dose of caramalized malt with toffee, buttery bread and a touch of sweet chocolate. While the nose displays the delicate nature of the crystal malts, the body is a bit more astrigent and forced. Scattered notes of sugary malt are jumbled with some alcohol pepper and watery caramel. Drinks easy, but I was hoping for more after the nice olfactory introduction. Goodgrief (995), Middletown, Delaware, USA Mar 29, 2008 Oct. 2007 - Maybe I’m rating a little harsh...there was nothing actually wrong with this beer. Pour was copper, clear and a decent head and actually nice lacing. Very faint aroma of nutty malts. Flavor was weak caramel, some nuttiness and a very mild bitterness. A bit watery, thin and weak all the way around, though. These Redhook beers are just a bit weak and underwhelming. Lowe1983 (730), Fairborn, Ohio, USA Feb 23, 2008 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of slight roasted malts, dark fruits, and slight hop aroma. Flavor is the same and doesn’t linger long. Not really all that good.
