Oct 3, 2003 Pours a deep amber/reddish color with a small tan head that mostly diminishes, leaving small lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet, lots of caramel, backed with a slight hoppiness. Flavor is dominated by caramel, a slight breadiness shows as well, and a mild hoppiness finishes it all off. Medium body, easy drinking.

Sep 22, 2003 nothing special about this very hoppy and somewhat strange tasting ale. I have had alot better october beers, but this will do when nothing else is available.

Sep 21, 2003 On draught at the Winking Lizard Tavern in Columbus, OH. This beer is an orange-red color with a medium light beige head. Aroma is very sweet malt and caramel. More rich that I was expecting, with an almost syrupy texture. The flavor leans to the sweet side as well, with lots of malt and caramel. Luckily there is enough hops in the finish to keep it from going overboard, but I think it would be a lot better with more hops in the flavor to counterbalance the sweet side.

Sep 8, 2003 Pours with an amber body topped by a thin off-white head with some lacing. Slighlty sweet malty aroma with a touch of graininess and some hoppiness. Well balanced flavor leaning towards hoppy with a slight bitterness. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Oct 12, 2002 Updated: Oct 12, 2003Re-Rate - 2003 - This had such a wonderfull malt kick - medium sweet - bith a great chunk of chocolate at the finish, a nice amount of hop for balance - I would call it a lighter version of St.Rogue Red. (Winking Lizard Draft - 10/10/2003) -2002 - smelled like pie (apple/caramel). First few sips were o.k., but then got way tooooo syrupy - caramel, sweet malts, very lightly hopped. one of the lesser fest beers.

Oct 6, 2002 I figured that this would be the best oktoberfest brew of all time, becuase red hook can make some damn fine beer. I overestimated, but it still kicked some ass. It wasn’t the best of all time, but it was up there. In one word, this beer is robust.

Jan 3, 2002 One of the best Octoberfest style beers I’ve had. Easily better than Sam or Pete’s offerings. Couldn’t find it in the store, only found it once on tap at a resteraunt. I’ll take a trip to the Portsmouth brewery next season to make sure I get some.
