I have just one review for tonight. I'm already in the process of getting plastered on value spirits, so I don't have it in me to do more beer given that I have to work tomorrow. Tonight's review will be Red Hook's Winterhook. I paid $1.79 for a 12 oz of unknown ABV.
I was expecting another hoppy beer, but this pours somewhat on the light side, and it smells of cinnamon and nutmeg. Taking a sip, the spice doesn't come through as strongly as I would have liked. The hops are fairly mild, and the malt is on the lighter side. The spices are much more subdued than I expected based on the strong smell. This is a pretty decent beer, but it's nothing exceptional. I'm going to award it [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and a half [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I think I like the Sam Adams Winter Lager just a hair more, but not enough to kick this down a half a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s rating.
