Fresh Hop 2009 (7.5%) pours a clear abyss of deep amber that produces a strong initial foamy head which rests on top before receding, leaving behind a cobweb lace inside the glass. As it is runs underneath the nose, a waft of floral sweetness meshes well with grapefruit and subtle pine. Sipping this, you pick up mild earthiness (almost grass-like), along with strong grapefruit citrus before the caramel is detected mid-way. It finishes with additional--but mild--hop bitterness. Overall, this beer isn't heavy on the tongue and would kill with a hearty BLT or even some beer-battered fish and chips.

Up the street from the old Redhook along Leary, and long since relocated from its old stomping grounds (Kirkland and Colville), is Hale's Ales. Featured within its fully operational brewery is a restaurant and a warehouse that has played host to both performers and the winter beer fest. Hale's is open for breakfast and runs on into the night with a wide range of beers, including the Harvest Ale.
