Review from notes: Love you G
This was a decent beer for the winter, but I wouldn't give it a pass unless it was as heavily discounted as it was, and if the weather wasn't so beautiful right now. With the snow freshly falling, my dog at my side, I couldn't be more comfy

Pours a clear brown colro. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and good lacing. Smells of sweet malt, spicy hops, hint of alcohol, tea, caramel malt, hint of roasted malt, hint of yeast, and hint of resin. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level, but a high bitterness. Fits the styel of a Winter Warmer. Tastes of strong roasted malt, slight sweet malt, spicy hops, earthiness, strong tea, hint of piney hops, and a hint of caramel malt. Overall, good appearance, subtly complex aroma and body, but the feel is overpoweringly bitter.

Tamer winter warmer than most, but not bad.

I am uncertain about the date of the add, but I understand 2016 to be their 32nd iteration of Winterhook. If it turns out that I am mistaken, this one should also be retired in favor of #33, but I am neither retiring or adding beers to the database unnecessarily. I am just happy to have this bottle in front of me as opposed to having a frontal lobotomy.
From the bottle: "Winterhook is Redhook's legendary winter ale, brewed annually since 1984. Crafted with an evolving mix of malts and hops, each yearly edition of Winterhook is one-of-a-kind. Winterhook's dark colors and bold flavors make it the perfect winter warmer for frosty weather."
Another Pop! of the cap to begin this review. I would like to think that every Pop! is one-of-a-kind, but it is hard to tell. I do know that every pour and its result is different each time. An initially heavy-handed pour started a pseudo-cascade which turned into two-plus fingers of dense, rocky, light-tan head with very good retention. Color was Coppery-Brown (SRM = > 17, < 22) with NE-quality clarity. The nose, while malty, had a very noticeable earthiness, kind of like drying/dried hay. Mouthfeel was medium. I allowed it to lazily roll around on my tongue to bring out a base, earthy bitterness. I was put on mind of a wet-hopped AIPA in terms of its earthy bitterness. I keep mentioning bitterness, but it was not overpowering or off-putting. I was just kind of surprised by it, especially in the style. I found it to be eminently drinkable, developing a toasty breadiness as it warmed. I have to admit to expecting an overly spiced ale with a relatively high ABV, but I was not at all disappointed not to get it. I also got a light nuttiness with it as it warmed. The takeaway may be to let it live up to its style and let it warm before settling in for a drink. Finish was semi-dry to dry. I really liked the earthiness of the hops & malts & now I anticipate the next iteration with bated breath.
