Redhook Winterhook

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

Serve in English pint, Trappist glass

Bottle. Pours a dark amber coor with a medium off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a light malt with caramel and light hops. Good lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet hop with a clean dry finish. A good english strong ale from Redhook.

Average aroma, maybe the draft is better? A bit grassy tasting. I personally think the hops overwhelm the malt but not in a good way like maybe Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Overall just too much of some spice I can’t put my finger on.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a nice dark amber color. Aroma is malty, a touch of hops. Taste is nice and malty with some caramel notes and a bit of hops on the finish. Not that bad.

Aroma is fantastic - a nice balanced malty & hoppy aroma. Smells fresh (like some of my fermenters when I’m brewing - THAT fresh), with some hints of spices like mint and nutmeg. Pours a nice amber with a white head that lasts. Flavor isn’t quite as radical, but it’s still nice. This is a very easy drinking, approachable, balanced winter ale.

I found this to be a really descent drink. Pours a medium golden amber color with small head. Notes of sweet caramel, malt, barley, even some hop. Flavor similar with added malty caramel that makes for a nice drink.

i may have been drunk by the time i switched to this, but i remember enjoying it thoroughly.

Bottle says 6%. Poured a slightly dark tea color. Little head. Non descript aroma. Maybe slightly malty with caramel. Tastes pretty much akin to aroma with a hint of nuttiness. Not bad not great but $6 a six it’s worth a shot.

Nothing very special about this beer. Doesnt really smell like anything except for that smell in your refridgerator that you cant find. Tastes pretty good though, almost sweet. Its good in the fact that I feel that guy on the bottle is blowing down my throat.
