Lightly roasted barley and a touch of wheat, combined with an ample portion of hops, creates a truly crowd pleasing beer . Redhook Blonde pairs well with medium flavored foods such as fish, nachos or salad. Available year round.

brownaler (378) - Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA - MAY 8, 2007
Golden appearance with small rocky head. Flavor is basically a hint of crarmel amber with a smooth finish. Basically a beer made for unoffensive tastes. I can’t imagine someone tasting this and saying, "it’s dark."

apingos (82) - Rockford, Illinois, USA - MAY 7, 2007
12 oz bottle. Poured a medium dark amber with no head! It did have plenty of cabination, very solid body, very nice on the palate, average ale taste with a hops finish. I liked the balance, very little biterness. I would have this beer again.

MoDog (927) - Griffith, Indiana, USA - MAY 1, 2007
UPDATED: MAY 2, 2007 12 oz bottle. Small, white head. Light to medium body. Light and crisp taste. Pretty much just an average beer. Strongly agree with previous review that this is just a slightly better Bud.

BREWMUSKCLES (1610) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 1, 2007
what you have is a better bud. there is a nicer body and a flavor that is creamier. the biir looks more golden and the slight cloudiness (from the tap) makes it somewhat inviting. grainy taste that leaves lacking. light barley, that may be roasted. and like the bud this carbonation seems just as phony.

gwpom (283) - Akron, New York, USA - APR 29, 2007
12 oz from variety pack. Clear golden color, white head. A bit of bitterness but nothing else really distinctive. A typical lager with just a touch more flavor than the mass produced swill. As was stated, nothing special about this one.

radagast83 (2202) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - APR 22, 2007
Bottle. Poured golden with a small whitish head. Aroma is a light amount of citrus and some hoppiness. Relatively refereshing. It is certainly not a bad beer, but there’s nothing spectacular about it.

LyndaNova (524) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - APR 13, 2007
Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear medium orange color with very little bubbles. Aroma is of light grains and light fruits with grass and sour notes. Taste is of light grains and grassy hops with notes of light fruit and brown sugar. Watery texture with mild carbonation and smooth. Ending is of light grains and light fruit with bitter notes.

troopie (1557) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - APR 12, 2007
Bottle. Poured golden with a medium white fast disappearing head. Not much aroma, just a bit of hops and bread. A light body, a bit of malt, citrus and biterness. A little tang to the finish. This is a very average bottle of beer.
