| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 23, 2006 Poured a lighter yellow color with a small head. Floral aroma. A bit thin on the palate. Typical citrusy IPA flavor was a bit on the weak side. This was a pretty average IPA jrdbassman (3), USA does not count | 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 23, 2006 This was my virgin IPA on tap at RFK. Smelled wonderful. Much better than the Miller Lites I had. Hoppy and chocolate? Fruity? I just know it was good, and led me on to this web site looking at new brews. Since then I’ve tried many others, but the Redhook is a good light flavored IPA. Beer2000 (1839), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2006 12 oz bottle. Orange colored body with white head. A nice aroma of citrus and some apricot. Flavor is very harmonic indeed, a nice distinct hoppy flavor with a pleasant malt sweetness. A smooth mouthfeel and an appropriate bitter aftertaste. Not an outstanding beer, but so enjoyable when your just in for a taste of a nice flavorful beer. beerlamb (21), USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Sep 16, 2006 white head, golden yellow, clear, hoppy, wheat flavor. Good for a spring day. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2006 Bottle. Clear light orange. Aroma of pine and citrus. Flavor and palate on the wimpy side in terms of west coast IPA. PIne/citrus hop-caramel malt elements are there but don’t particularly grab your tongue like they should, and this one ends up as kind of a watery shadow of the style. xav33 (313), Midland, MI, Michigan, USA

12 oz bottle
Recent bottling, chuggalugged 09/06
Medium pour in a tulip glass
Poured clear amber with a small creamy white mostly diminishing head with fair lacing.
Smelt of moderate spruce and light toasted grain.
Flavor was upfront moderate bitter sprucey hops and light acidic citrus followed by a light piney bitterness and a hint of sweet orange and bananas for a moderately long finish. Mouthfeel was light and watery with lively carbonation.
Overall, it tastes like a good IPA, but offers nothing out of the ordinary. dkoonce (889), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 9, 2006 Typical IPA, with a heavy hop aroma followed by a medium body and sharp hop bite. Body was a little light on this. drmatt (51), THE LOU, Missouri, USA
