On tap at local Chinese restaurant. I think this is getting a bit of hateage due to the fact that its a Redhook... or maybe most people are having bottles and the bottles are inferior to the tap. Anyways, this poured a nice amber color with a nice head that left some descent lace and held its own for a while. Pretty simply flavor and aroma but pretty well balanced and some nice hop bitterness. A bit more bittingly bitter than I expected from the style, but still very pleasant and refreshing. Medium bodied with a bit of over-carbonation. Overall: easy choice over many other beers I frequently see on tap next to it.

Pours an attractive copper hue with a very thin white head. A bitter but alomost fruity flavor with a dry and slightly metallic finish. Nothing special but definitely enjoyable.

Pours deep copper with thin white foam. Lots of caramel flavor with a slightly bitter finish. Not as hoppy or bitter as I’d like, but not bad at all.

A pale amber beer with a 2 inch white head. Aroma of english malt and rich citrusy hops. Medium strength malt and hops flavor with a caramel-like finish. Palate is mildly sweet. Nice bitter aftertaste that is also a little sweet.

12oz bottle. Poured amber color with moderate white head. Sweet grains and bready aroma with little of the expected hoppiness for an ESB. Malty flavor up front with some bitterness on the back of the tongue with a rather dry finish. Medium body, with mild carbonation. Drinkable for sure.

bottle poured a light amber in color with a thin head. aroma has sweet malt, grains, and some metallic. mouth feel is light with average carbonation. flavor has sweet malt, light bitterness, low hops, and some lingering metal.
