| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2006 tap in Carbondale, IL pours copper amber with a small off-white head. aroma is hoppier than expected-pine and spice with some nice amber malts as well. some light sourness in there as well. flavors are balanced between the caramel malts and spicy hops. actually, this is one of the better amber ales i have had in a while. definately a suprise. I find this to be one of red hook’s best offerings. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 14, 2006 On draft, amber pour. Nice flavor with a little bit of a spicy kick. An enjoyable beer which goes down smooth. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 14, 2006 Pours fairly dark amber with a small off-white head. The aroma has lightly roasted caramel malt with some sweetness and tangy spice. Medium body starts off smooth, but gets crisp on the finish due to the sharp carbonation. Flavor starts with lightly taosted caramel malt with light brown sugar and a syrupy taste, but not a cloying or thick body. The finish has hops comeing in with spice and light pine. This is much better than I expected from Red Hook. Goblincat (357), Westland, Michigan, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 9, 2006 I thought this beer was kind of hoppy for a time of year when i think of octoberfest / malty types of beer. good and refeshing, but overall nothing to put it above the rest. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 7, 2006 From a 12 oz. bottle. The body is light bronze with a thin slightly yellowish head. The aroma is lightly hoppy with some toffee and orange flavored gum. The taste is a little bit of orange peel zest with a little soap and pine notes. There is also a little bit of dry woody character. The body is thin, but not so much for an amber. A decent brew that is very drinkable.
