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.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20

lamas (1033) - Washington DC, USA - JUN 25, 2005

Bottle. Bottled on: 04/18/05. Golden pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma is cornbready and wheaty. A pleasant surprise taste-wise. I thought this would be completely flavorless. Instead, it’s a unique corn/wheat mix that I can tolerate pretty well and actually enjoy sometimes. Carbonation level is way too high though. Of course it’s thin and watery. Average at best.

Hooker (450) - New Westminster, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 19, 2005

Clear deep gold colour with thin white head. No discernable nose. Mild malt taste with slight malt finish.

nick76 (3461) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUN 18, 2005

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2006 I really like this one and I am surprised that its not rated higher. The aroma is like hay and herbal hops. The appearance is a nice hazy gold and the flavor is unique and enjoyable. It has a light hopping along with a salty cheese taste. But best of all this one has a very strong malt taste that lingers through the finish. Great beer!

henry3r (586) - Wichita, Kansas, USA - MAY 30, 2005

The bottle poured a crystal clear light amber beverage with an ample smooth white head that lasted 5 minutes and was gone, almost without a trace. There was very light carbonation. The aroma was quite subtle with notes of sweet grass mixed in with the malt. It had a light body with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. The taste of sweet malt dominated the initial taste. It matured in the middle to a softer subtle malt mixed with slight hop bitterness. The finish was warming and mild.

Bockyhorsey (2591) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAY 23, 2005

Aroma of grain. Hazy gold with decent head. Balanced flavor with the barley and hops. Would of thought this would be more bitter but it wasn’t for a blonde. Rich on the palate a decent beer.

turbo (1266) - Arizona, USA - MAY 21, 2005

Poured a light amber with small head. Light malt aroma. Flavor is malt, soap with a metalic finish.

crzybob77 (529) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAY 16, 2005

A very light and easy drinkable beer. It is basically just turns out to be a beer that you would certainly take over a typical BMC but not go out of the way for it.

AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20

RichJ7 (1175) - Cullman, Alabama, USA - MAY 6, 2005

Poured a deep, hazy gold with an inch-thick rocky foam head. Grainy, musty aroma. Flavor is well-rounded malt with a touch of husk and a mild hop finish. Very full-bodied and thick on the palate. This beer is like a meal ... I certainly didn’t expect this kind of body in such a light colored beer. Very good. I am surprised at how low the ratings are for it.
