Had some Winter Hook from the Red Hook Brewery. But from the label I am unable to tell whether it was bottled at the Woodinville, WA or the Portsmouth, NH brewery. Did you know Paul Shipman who co-founded Red Hook Brewery got his MBA in 1978 (a very good year for UVa graduates) from the Darden School at the University of Virginia?

Color is a clear deep copper. Hoppy taste and nose. I would rate an average beer. I think Red Hook's "affiliation" with Anheuser-Busch has moved this beer into the macro category. But still a decent beer.
