2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Metallic aroma some hops present. Pretty amber color. Well carbonated thick fluffy head. Some citrus in the flavor a little bitter in the finish. The palate is rather dry and unappealing.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Light citrus hop aroma. Clear bubbly amber with strong slightly off-white head. Unimpressive flavor, light sweetness with a bitter finish, mild acidity that doesn’t seem intentional. Drinkable but not particularly smooth.

I haven’t met an ESA I didn’t like, and this one was no exception. Full flavored and wonderfully bittered with hops, Winter Hook went down like candy on a Wisconsin night that has seen a whole lot of snow. I miss the clear orange/red hue of Winter Hook in my glass already. I love winter beers.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Smells like a good beer, malt, hops, a bit of citrus, Looks like a good beer, dark with a medium head. The taste however was a bit lacking. Initially it was nice but the finish was bland and a bit metallic.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle-An amber body with a huge off whtie head which emits an aroma of malts, citrus, and hops. Taste of this medium bodied brew is of malt and bitterness along with a dry back end but otherwise it is very bland. I was expecting more for a "winter’ beer.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Slightly cloudy amber color with a 1 cm light tan head that recedes quickly. Very light biscuity malt aroma, slight earthy hop twinge. Lightly carbonated. Pretty simple malt taste and small amount of hops on the finish. Kind of plain.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. Very little head and almost no lace to speak of. Stored at 50 degrees and served at the same in an English pint. Body is clear, no particles, avergae malts and average hops. Although I read the comments below mine and foun dit interesting that that person thought that it almost crossed over into an ipa territory. Now that they said that I can see it. I agree. Light on the yeast. Palate is a three ok mouthfeel, medium body, maybe a little astringent. and a little bitter. Not a ton of flavor. It was ok, I probably wouldn’t buy it again, but would drink it if it were available. Not a bad beer, just would rather not pay money for it.
