Redhook Winterhook

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: English Strong Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

12oz brown bottle served in a shaker pint. Pours a clear gold/amber with a sparse white head. Some malt in the aroma with a little of the trademark Redhook diacetyl. Pretty thin in the body. Crisp hop bitterness. A little butteryness and bready malt. Decent hop finish. Not that exciting, more of a bland amber than a true hearty winter beer.

Aroma of malts and a little spice. Dark amber in color. Taste of bland maltyness and not much hops. Rather thin

Wasnt expecting much from this, but it proved to be a pretty solid winter option at a tasty price. Pretty sweet and malty, nice smoothness factor. When it comes to seasonals its generally one sixer and thats it, but I honestly may grab this one up again.

Clear reddish. No aroma. Bitterish taste but even that is a stretch. Very boring and bland.

Bottle. Pours a brilliant amber/orange hue. Tan head with minimal lacing. Aroma of malty roastiness with some bubblegum and sweet candy. Flavor is roasty and very dry with some residual candy notes as well. A decent brew but nothing to rock the socks during winter.

tap @ papago. pours a clear brown shade of amber with a fluffy off white head that leaves spots of pillowy lacing. aroma is a rather bland mix of wood, caramel/brown sugar and generic spiciness. mild flavors of caramel, spicy hops, nuts and a salty element. dry bitter finish helps a bit to keep the sweetness in check. thin to medium body and mouth feel .

A decent winter ale that leaves you satisfied and sells at a decent price. I would recommened picking up a six pack.

Smells somewhat musky, but has a great spicy taste that is signature of a good winter brew. Can definitely taste the hops that gives this beer it’s bold start but lingering finish.
