COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

ClarkVV (3578) - Allston, Massachusetts, USA - APR 2, 2005
2005 bottle. Light yellow body, mostly clear, maybe a chill haze, maybe not. Small white head, some retention. Aroma of grass, hay, wheat and a touch of grains. Flavor is a tad bitter, crisp on the finish and has a mellow hint of vanilla and honey, with some metaliic earthy/toasty grains. I make it sound more flavorful than it is, however, as it is mostly a dry, watery concoction of wheat, grassy hops and light almonds.

Redhook sure does suck.

JMerritt (1568) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - MAR 28, 2005
On tap at Old Chicago, Rockford. A rather straight-forward golden ale - golden in color with a small white head. Light aroma with whiffs of wet grains, hay, and sweet wheat. Lightly sweet flavor, finishes a touch sour.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 11, 2005
Blonde with a white head. Grassy malt aroma. Crisp sweet malt with a touch of honey. Medium bodied, a bit cloying on the sweet side. Bottle. CNY Brewfest Feb. 5 2005.

BrockLanders (759) - Panama City, Florida, USA - MAR 1, 2005
On draft at Beef O’Bradys. Ale is a translucent golden with a small white head. Aroma is very light, flower-like,with hints of honey. Very thin mouthfeel doesn’t help at all. Taste exhibits very little bitterness and lotsa carbonation. Nothing of interest to note about this one.

ChrisPants (317) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - FEB 11, 2005
Golden, disapearing white head. Malt and bottled hops aroma. Malty yellow-tasting body, somewhat astringent. My "overall" number is high because this has made (and will make) an excellent warm-weather session beer: it is a perfect wedding of tasty beer and cannon fodder.

Poured golden with off white head. Sweet but not in a good way. Not a fan but appreciate the effort.
