3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pour out a nice dark brown. Smells a little chocolate-y, a little nutty, a little caramel-y. Tastes full and meaty. I normally don’t like too many winter ales, but this one is rather tasty. I especially like the noticeable amount of hops. Gives the beer a nice balance.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a clear mahogany brown color with a half-inch tan head. Aroma of malt and earth, like a meadow. Nice malty flavor, with a hint of roasted malts and and caramel. The beer has a nice hops balance. I’d like to pair this brew with a good lamb stew or maybe shepherd’s pie.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours from the bottle a nice red-copper color with good carbonation and a bit of lacing. Aroma has some caramel malt tones, a centennial hop bite mixed with some whiffs of apple.. Flavor has a great apple fruitiness start followed by a slight hop bitterness and finishes with a great sweet caramel malt flavor. Very little alcohol influence even with the 6% ABV. Good offering by Red Hook and one of the better cheaper beers. The beer was brewed on 12-17-2007 and drank on 9-14-2008 so was aged for a few months prior to drinking.
