12 oz bottle. Tried this beer right after sampling Troegs Nugget Nectar - which was pretty hoppy. This was a nice contrast. Poured an amber orange red body. Very minimal aroma. The taste was pretty good, nice and smooth. Maybe some roasty notes towards the finish.

12 oz bottle, pours a clear rusty color with minimal head. Aroma was faint but I could detect sweetness and hoppiness. However, upon tasting the beer, the palate and flavor were very impressive. Very smooth, and the flavor fills your mouth with a sweet taste with a hint of bitter. No bad aftertaste, and the alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering. Good effort at a winter ale.

pours copper color no head,nice malty aroma.Nice mouthfeel light carbonation,malty very light bitter finish.very easy drinking beer.Good brew.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a a nice amber color with a decent creamy beige head. Aroma is of pine and grapefruit. Taste is of grapefruit, roasted malts, pine and has a slight pine aftertaste. Goes down rather smooth and is pretty tasty. I am so glad that I was able to pick up a bottle of this brew (managed to find one last bottle of it in town). I wish I would have picked up a sixer of this when it was in stock. Overall, this beer is rather enjoyable and easy drinking. Not a bad seasonal offering from RedHook.

Amber color with small lacy white head. Malt and hops aroma. carmal malt and Hoppy taste. Smooth

Light sweet caramel aroma with a little yeast. Clear Golden orange color with a small white head. Milt beginning with a mild caramel malt taste in the middle with a moderate yeast finish.

12 oz. bottle, pours golden brown amber with a good foamy off-white head that fell apart and left a ring in the glass, good lacing with bubbles along the sides, aromas of toasted and some roasted malt with caramel sweetness, some chocolate and hints of dark cake mix, some citrus piney hops along with wood and faint earthy scents, cascade and Fuggle hops? Flavor of toasted malts and caramel, has a medium or less hop bitterness, a caramel sweetness is left on the tongue at the finish with some pine needles swimming about, ok mouth feel, could have been a little fuller to add to some oomph to this Winter warmer, I would recommend buying this.

One bottle. Pours a medium golden amber color with small head. Notes of sweet caramel, malt, barley, and some hops. Flavor similar with added malty caramel that makes for a nice drink.
