Aroma: Moderate sweet malty aroma. medium hop aroma, Light yellow brilliant c;ear. Medium white head good retention. Flavor: Initial soft malty some corn flavor Balance is normally towards the malt. Finishes medium-dry to somewhat sweet. No diacetyl. Overall Impression: Easy-drinking, corn flavor distracts some

This beer has very little aroma, flavor or head. It’s carbonated very lightly and has no malt sweetness or hop bitterness. It finishes clean, with no aftertaste. I guess this would be the Red Hook ale for the uninitiated.

Nothing particularly special about this one. Entirely tolerable. Light color, (blonde,) some grain flavor. Weak hop profile.

Goblincat (367) - Westland, Michigan, USA - OCT 13, 2006
Very clear amber pour with white head. Grainy nose and not much more. I taste a hint of hops and honey, but not much else. This must be the ale they use to cater to the Macrobrew crowd.

linkolnlogg (94) - your home, Minnesota, USA - OCT 9, 2006
Bottle to pounder (shaker). Pours out a nice yellow-gold colour with a slight bubbly head with sparse to nonexistant lacing. Strong aroma of lemony ester and grain held together by a mild hops note. Very mild overall scent with the exception of the estery compounds. Taste is malty, wheat, and yeast. Goes down smooth and is very drinkable, as seems to be the redhook style, but lacks slightly in marriages of elements. The elements do come together but they dont seem to be making any particular statement.

Good color on this one, nice head and some lacing. Good balance of hops and malts with a citrus undertone. I’ve been pleased with Redhooks brews.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - OCT 1, 2006
12oz bottle-pours a golden color with head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of grains, lemony citrus, and little hops. Taste of wheat, corn, and malt. Not a bad beer.
