Aug 26, 2009 Golden orange color in the glass. Sweet toffee & malt aroma. Nice malt flavor followed by an almost minty aftertaste. Overall, smooth and easy drinking but nothing too outstanding.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o garthicus. Pours a clear oily looking golden-orange with a small quickly diminishing white head. Mild aroma of grain, sweet malt and very light hops. Watery flavour of grain, corn, bread, artificial fruit and a light bitter finish -- not liking it. Average bodied. Mediocre at best.

Aug 1, 2009 Floral, almost maybock like hop aroma. Flavor starts out with similar floral notes then segues into stale bread and hints of canned corn.

Jul 30, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz into a pint glass. The bottle had a born on date of 01-12-09. It was sampled on 5-31-09.
Appearance: The body has a dark golden almost coppery color with good clarity. On top an aggressive pour produced a tall foamy white head. It has good retention and makes some sticky lacing on the glass.
Smell: There is a sweet candy like malts with notes of brown sugar and some herbal hops of in the distance.
Taste/Mouth: It has a candy like character with hints of caramel, brown sugar and white bread. Hop bitterness is mild and adds some spicy/herbal notes to the mix. The hops come out a little more towards the finish and give some more balance to the sweet malt up front. It has a medium body, soft carbonation and a smooth texture.
Notes: This was a nice interesting and enjoyable beer.

Jul 15, 2009 Overall Impression:
A pretty nice beer for what it is, no hug flavors or anything like that, but what flavors are there are done pretty well, it’s got a nice balance, and it drinks really nicely. Nothing fancy going on here, but a solid brew.

Jul 14, 2009 Copper Hook pours with a light, clean pale malt aroma and modest hops. It pours a clear light amber with little head retention. The flavor closely resembles the aroma, a clean if nondescript malt-forward blend. Lack of carbonation detracts from the palate. This is probably the best-balanced beer Red Hook currently produces, which no longer says much.
