Sweet caramel malt aroma. Clear golden color with a small white head. Mild sweet beginning with a slightly less sweet and tangy finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle [650ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o garthicus. Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange with a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma is yeasty along with sweet malt, some fruit and spices. Flavour of sweet malt, alcohol, spices, candi sugar and fruit. Alcohol is quite prominent. Medium bodied. Too sweet and boozy, just O.K.

22. Pours a cloudy dark golden amber with a dense and creamy platinum blond head that stick around for a little while, leaving a bit of cottony lace on its way down. Classic appearance but not particularly a cover girl shot. Dust, candi sugar, and a bit of sweet cream on the nose--very subdued. Smells like they picked the right yeast, and probably the right adjuncts, but dialed it back a bit. Pretty much par for the course with Redhook, that. Creamy medium body, lively carb. Oranges, green apples, sweet cream, and tons of white sugar on the mid-palate. Probably a bit too forwardly sweet and fruity, and not balanced enough. Nothing’s really wrong here, but the proportions are certainly strange, and that throws it far enough off to be trouble.

Dark amber - off white head. Aroma of fruit and banana, taste sweet with banana and spices.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 oz. bottle from Jax in Cumming, GA. Not much head was produced, even when attempted. Haze orange appearance, blah, blah, blah, boring. Subtle light raisin, and grape aroma. Dark fruits are slightly poking through. A nappy malt/yeast aroma coming through. Some sugar sweetness coming through. A pungent aroma, but doesn’t have any awesome/distinct smell. Nice smooth texture...actually, no seems to be a bit on the thin side for a tripel. Sugar and yeast sweet flavors are hitting the taste buds. Fruit flavors aren’t coming through in the flavor as much as I thought they would. The sugar and yeast sweet flavors dominate. Nice attempt from Redhook, but nothing substantial.

Share this bottle. clean copper pour with long lasting head, sweet, syrupy, spicy. Too complex for my taste. I probably just don’t like this malty of a beer.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a clear orange color with minimal fizzy white head. Aroma is really sticky sweet and yeasty. Flavor is generally uninspiring: very sweet candy sugared malt base, with some spice and yeastiness, and a banana lemon finish. Body rather thin. Overall, just so so.

22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a bright clear orange amber color with a small white head. The aroma has a sweet honey, lightly toasted malt, fruity (pears, citrus), and a fairly strong alcohol presence. The flavor has a pale/bready malt base, honey, pears and citrus fruit, a strange bitterness, and too much alcohol. The sweetness and high alcohol don’t mix well. The bitterness seems out of place. Medium-full bodied, but the alcohol is too much in front. Strange.
Rating #109 for this beer.
