Redhook ESB

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Woodinville, Washington USA

Soft fruity nose. Orange/red with medium head. Excellent balance, solid malts with good bitterness. Full bodied, biscuit finish. Really tasty beer. Good for just about any occasion.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Aroma is balanced, with good tones of roasted malt, mild hops, and a slight bit of spice. Taste is medium-bodied and dry, with a similarly balanced taste of roasted malt and floral hops with a slightly bitter finish. Not a bad beer, though there are much better bitters just as readily available.

12oz bottle: pours amber brown with long lasting off white head, aroma is kind of bland just simple pale malt, flavor is just slightly better than the aroma, kind of bland, pale malt with some bitterness coming through. not hooked on this one.

Smells a little bit like vomit. A nice clean, lightly bitter taste, slightly sweet. A little watery. Could stand to be more hops for sure.

Silght hazy orange copper color with a thin off white head. Malty bready aroma and slight indication of hops. Full body and mid carbonation. Thin malt flavor thats almost fruity. Soft bitter bite of hops. Fairly even finish. An average esb. I like mine to have more complexities.

Aroma of light roasted malt with somewhat floral hop. Coppery kind of color with a white head that didn’t amount to much. Pleasant surprise. NIce floral hop, with possibly a bit of citrus, and some roasted malt. Very like an English ESB, but more strong in flavor. Medium body with mild carbonation. Pleasant drink. Finish is not overly anything. Nice balance. Good taste.

Pours a copper to orange color, with big lacy head slight bitter aroma. Not what I expected. Pretty plain and un-complex, most note worthy were the hop notes. Need to try again and update my rating.

Amber colored with a good head and good lacing. A definite aroma of hops. A bitter taste the hops that leaves a bitter aftertaste.
