Redhook Nut Brown Ale

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

Poured a dark brown with a medium malty aroma. Strong sweet taste with lots of malts. Thin body.

Foamy khaki head that faded in like 2 seconds, see through brown body with a lot of bubble activity. Smells a bit smokey, with some sweet toasty grain and a slight hop kick. Taste has the toasty grain, nuts as the name implies, and a tea like hop presence with a lame sourness. Carbonation was low, and it felt like flat coke in the mouth. Mouthfeel was quite thin and left something to be desired. Drinkable, but I wouldnt buy it again.

Aroma is sweet and cola tinged and even that is very low intensity. Dark brown body with reddish tinting holds a wispy pinky sized head. Fruity malt sweetness in the fore. Tastes very much like licking the frosting off a cheap 7’11 pastry. I’m not getting the nutty flavors that are supposed to be here just a sweet malty mildly yam tasting melange. I really want to like Redhook and I always buy their stupid seasonals, but they just always seem to mail it in with their beers.

Deep mohogony color with a thin off-white head. Sweet malt aroma with hints of nuttiness. Light sour flavor with nuttiness in the foreground.

nothing special here for a brown....mahogany with thin off-white head...aroma is quite indistinct....flavor is somewhat nutty, with sugary malts and a very smooth finish....decent palate....nothing too complex to mention

Pours a dark brown color with little head. Thin platate with very little to offer. Wheaty belgian flavor with just a hint of nuttiness at the end. Very little hopiness and very little flavor overall. Not a very enjoyable beer.

A nice, mild yet flavorful beer. Once of those beers you can enjoy all on its own, in pairs, or more. Although I won’t get this one again, it isn’t THAT good, I did enjoy its character, kind of jovial yet subdued.

Aroma was hard to detect. Always tougher in a bar environment (even though it was non smoking). I seem to have more trouble with aromas in a liter mug as well, but I still wanted to take advantage of the happy hour special, which was the liter size for the price of a pint. Some malt was detected. Light roasted flavor. Somewhat watered down flavor. A good crossover beer but this one doesn’t impress me. Similar to New Castle, Mich Amber Bock, or something along those lines.
