Redhook Winterhook

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: English Strong Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

Bottle. Amber. Nice head. Bold but smooth. Slightly fruity and crisp, kind of dry. Good winter brew.

Dark amber color with little to no head. Taste is malt with some a slight spicy character and somewhat of a hop finish. A good beer if somewhat average, I won’t go looking for this again, but it works in a pinch.

botlle from whole foods. aroma is herbal noble hops. some grassy notes, probably dry-hopped. dark amber, with creamy dense head that stays around, and laces well. medium body. flavor is initially malty, but quickly dominated by more of the hops. decent, but a bit one-dimensional.

Bottle: Cloudy brown with a small, fizzy, light-brown head and runny lacing. The aromas are malty and the tastes are similar plus carboard & root beer barrell hard candy hints. The nice thing about this one is the feel - it seems to have a thick body with an average amount of carbonation. There is nothing special about this that inspires me to write an outlandish ratings, but at the same time, it isn’t terrible.

12oz. bottle. Red-orange brown with a small off white head. Nut and caramel malt aroma with a bracing of hop floral notes. Caramel and faint toastiness, hints of raisin and dough. Some floral bitterness joins in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium light.

(Newport Weekend) This was a good beer. I liked the complexity between the hops and malts. A good easy going winter beer. Nothing where you light yourself on fire beer. The deep colors and aroma where good.

Tap at Hood River Hops Fest. Deep brown color with a slight off-white head. Light bodied. Medium roasted malt aroma, slightly nutty. Roasted malt flavor. Thin, tepid, unexciting.

Pours a dark red brown clear color. Soapy off white head. Nice lacing as well. Aroma is molasses, caramel, very musty. Flavor is a cross between brown and pale ale. Muddled flavor overall.
