Redhook Late Harvest Autumn Ale

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

I kinda like this one. Little oily coating on the mouth, good flavor right after you open it. Flavor depletes after about twenty min, which is truely sad

On tap at the porter beer bar. Poured a clear amber color. Toasted grain flavors with a slightly off bitter finish. For an autumn seasonal, I need a much bigger malt profile. This was disappointing and thin.

V - pale orange
A - little aroma, a bit yeasty
T - slightly matly taste
P - flat finish

Spicy aroma in a pumpkin pie sort of way. Nice amber color with some small amount of lacing. Palate is good with a nice balance of hops and malt. Decent drinkable beer.

A fairly play-it-safe fall beer. Right square in the middle between the lighter Summit and the Sam Adams Octoberfest. Pairs with a decent amount of foods as the malt doesn’t overwhelm lighter sandwiches but can still stand with heartier meals. No hint of hops here. A bit masked and opaque in flavor and looks overall, but still a decent drink. You could do worse, but that’s not the motto to drink by, so do better and check out some other higher-rated ambers.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Caramel malt aroma with a hint of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet caramel and toast, with a hint of hoppy bitterness. Not bad.

<b>In short: </b>A dirty fluffy fruity beer of some kind (I think I got a bad bottle)
<b>How: </b>Bottle 12oz, consumed a few days after purchase.
<b>The look: </b>Murky dark-orange body topped by a very small beige head.
<b>In long: </b>Ripe fruits, leather and sweat on the nose. Fluffy yeasty body with notes of extra-ripe bananas, juicy ripe citrus, moist, medium sweetnes. This is really not a clean beer, to the contrary. Fortunately the beer is not very tasty so it’s not so bad. I drank the beer just a few days after purchasing it from a little store in Princeton but I had the feeling I was drinking an old tired beer. I hope for Redhook’s sake that I got a bad bottle because the only thing that wasn’t wrong with this bottle was, well, the actual bottle.

Copper orange pour into my glass. Thin, white head, with fine lace clinging to the sides. Malty, earthy, and toasted aroma. Perhaps a faint nuttiness as well. Flavors of roasted malts, earthy and herbal, and sweet caramel. Malts are the main show here and the mouthfeel is a little cloying and sweet. Not real complex, medium bodied and a little watery. Overall, requires very little thought and easy to drink.
