Redhook Blonde combines the best attributes of a flavorful golden ale with the refreshing qualities of a lager. The ale is brewed with three different malts and two hop varietals. 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.

Bottle. Nice clear pour with a smallish white head. A little caramel and some citrus, more bread though. Nice body, decent finish and easy to drink.

thomasacross (129) - Edina, Minnesota, USA - NOV 27, 2006
Bottle. Pours golden. Low-to-medium head. Pushing the amount of bitterness I want in a blonde; not a lot of other flavors outside of the astringency. I prefer my blonde ales more approachable than this one, but it’s not all bad. Compares poorly to Goose Island Blonde Ale.

JFURYCAT (990) - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 24, 2006
Nonexistent flavors with some hop and malt tones trying to swim out of a somewhat sweet ale which anyone can drink. It doesn’t offend but doesn’t ask me to finish it either.

Light malt and hop aroma. Tarnished gold color with virtually no head. Substantial mouthfeel. Sweetish malt coats the mouth, but hops get the edges of the tongue. However, the strongest impression is carbonation. The flavors are nice, but not very strong. I think some citrus develops in the finish. Decent and drinkable.
