Redhook Late Harvest Autumn Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

12oz bottle. Clear copper color with nice tan head and good lacing. This beer creates the same flavor as aroma. There’s sweet caramel malts, a bit of biscuit, dryer tasting roasted malts and some floral to spicy hops. Tasty brew.

This must be an old avatar shown here. On my bottle it says ’late’ harvest. Iced tea color and appearance. No bubbles rising within. Strong mildly sweet candy aroma. has some malt or hop presence in the initial taste but it don’t leave much of a bitter impression. This has a reversed typical hop impact, it’s bitter at first then fades, compared to many that build in a bitter way thru the session. More gentleman like. Some carbonation. Not bad for a fest beer. Could use a few manners on the taste buds. Finish is medium short mild industrial pilsner hop bitterness.

I do not like redhook, all their beer is thin as hell. I need to stop giving them a chance. This is a sweet syrupy smelling beer with their typical watered down mouthfeel and very little flavor. Very thin, weak.

You see a lot, Doctor. But are you strong enough to point that high-powered perception at yourself? What about it? Why don't you - why don't you look at yourself and write down what you see? Or maybe you're afraid to.

Sampled on 9/16/2009. This amber ale pours a medium amber reddish color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, decent retention and lacing. The aroma is caramel and bready, fairly sweet. A medium bodied amber ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy and citrusy. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. Solid amber, but it doesn’t do much for me. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

A good seasonal offering that I will be looking for again next year. Pours a clear copper with a thin white head. Aroma is mildly malty but opens up more as the beer warms. Taste starts malty and sweet but then the hops take over--some spice and a nice, slightly bitter finish.

Nice Orange color at pour, great foam that quickly went quickly away.Smelled and tasted like an Oktoberfest, I would have to say THIS is the best Oktoberfest style i have had.Would Recommend this beer, i would try a sixer of this over the weekend.

A reddish bodied ale. Head is moderately robust upon pour. There’s no hang time as it settles into a soapy film. The aroma is inviting enough. A little citrus, a little biscuit and a touch more hops. Well balanced. The body, though is thin and has a bit of an oily feel. The flavoring profile gives some spices with the floral hops and bittering citrus. The malt is lost in all this. Paired this one with some egg foo yong. Decent pairing.

Late harvest pours a nice deep amber body, aroma of fruits and malts is plesant enough. Mouthfeel is adequate, my complaint against it was the metallic taste on the first few sips. After the first few it went away and the roasted malts came through. I would have rated it higher if not for the metallic taste. * 10-15-10 re-rate- much better this time around split a sixer, no metallic presence this go around, from a 3.1 to 3.4

Maybe I'm rating a little harsh...there was nothing actually wrong with this beer. Pour was copper, clear and a decent head and actually nice lacing. Very faint aroma of nutty malts. Flavor was weak caramel, some nuttiness and a very mild bitterness. A bit watery, thin and weak all the way around, though. These Redhook beers are just a bit weak and underwhelming.
