Sep 13, 2004 Pours brown with minimal tan head. Nose is nutty and of light roastedness malt. Flavor is of sweet caramel, and fruit. This beer sort of fades off in the finish. Doesn’t taste like I first remember it years ago.

Sep 2, 2004 I’m guessing it’s chocolate malt that contributes both sweetness and gentle roastiness to the aroma. Clear amber-brown with off-white pillowy head that recedes to cover with some lacing. Sweet caramel flavour up front that blends into a pleasing roasty bitterness. Medium bodied and quite drinkable. Bottle. Sampled at Mr. Pickwick’s at Stowe (Fall 2003).

Aug 1, 2004 Good thick light tan head. Settles to a nice creamy foam. Low carbonation. Rich aroma with roasted grains, molasses and malts. Color is a deep ruby/brown. Creamy mouthfeel. Bit thin but what there is is good. More roasted grains, bit of smoke and soy sauce. Slight hops presence at the finish and a bit of bitterness. Kind of chalky. A decent brown ale.

Jun 14, 2004 Sweet chocolate-nutty aroma, fruity sweet berries. Light fruity hops. Medium dark copper brown clear with off-white, almost light tan foamy lacing head. Medium heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Starts rather acidic, light sweetness with nut-fruity notes and some chocolate. Finish has some toasted character, still acidic. After is lightly nutty, with a bit of sweetness and no bitter.

May 18, 2004 Brown/garnet with a small, off-white head. Aroma is malty and sugary with a hint of nuts. Flavor is thin, mostly with bland sweetness and super-mild hoppiness in the finish; not impressive. Roughly average mouthfeel. Another easy drinking Redhook, but a poor example of a nut brown.

May 16, 2004 Havent had a RedHook in years, remembered most of thier product as very good beer. Either Redhook has changed, or my tastes have, or both. Very uninspired pour. Disappointing.

May 13, 2004 This lacks everything that I love about brown ales. It is not nrealy nutty enough, lacks that solid malty backbone, and finishes with a bit of honey sweetness. Too thin.
