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.

Jblauvs (1264) - Dover, New Hampshire, USA - OCT 8, 2009

Godlen pour with offwhite head. Light Grainy aroma, not very pleasant. Drinkable but far from transcendent. This beer is bland as bland can be, the only saving grace is that it’s slightly refreshing and very drinkable. By subtle hops the mean almost none. Although Redhook is far from my favorite brewery, this is still one of their worst efforts.

iabeerguy (341) - Iowa, USA - OCT 4, 2009

Golden brown pour with a light white head. Not much of an aroma. Flavor is somewhat hoppy but smoothe. Goes down pretty smoothe with not much else for flavor.

kimcgolf (872) - Dacula, Georgia, USA - SEP 8, 2009

Nothing special to this one at all. Wet the whistle on a hot summer’s night, but other than that, it was just a small step ahead of most macros. While Redhook is not primo, I have definitely had better from their line. Pass on this one

drowland (3570) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - AUG 4, 2009

12oz bottle to a pint glass. Decent example of the style, but almost... dumbed down a bit to make it more drinkable.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 29, 2009

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of toasted malt, some fruity hints. Tastes of sweet malt wth some fruity hints. An easy drinking lawnmower beer.

DrnkMcDermott (2393) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - JUL 21, 2009

12 oz. bottle from "build a six" rack at Hy-Vee, Storm Lake, IA. Light ale smell, a golden pilsener color with just a tint of haze. Taste opens with some ale fruitiness. Hop pepper at the top of the lips. Otherwise, it stays a basic beer, just a bit more hearty than a summer lawnmowerbrau. Still, a better version than other beers in this style.

ben4321 (2056) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - JUL 15, 2009

Overall Impression: Had this one a bunch of times, usually out of a Redhook sampler pack, it’s an alright example of the Blonde style. Flavors are fairly muted, thin, and light, if that’s your cup-of-tea, you’ll probably enjoy this one more then I do.

Strangebrewer (496) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 21, 2009

bottle. Poured clear gold with thin white head. Light sweet, corn aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with a hint of citrus. Light clean mouthfeel, not over carbonated. Very faint metallic dry finish. My first Red Hook and I liked it.
