cantchangeit (39) - Oregon, USA - NOV 2, 2003

No real aroma, slightly darker then a yellow beer, a bitter taste, that turns sour in the after taste. a beer in the same league as a corona.

cherr (162) - Rochester, New York, USA - OCT 20, 2003

Very light color when poured, thin beer. The taste is of malt, light hops, and mild fruit. The taste somewhat mild. This is not really my type of beer.

hotstuff (3213) - Indiana, USA - OCT 13, 2003

This beer definitely lacks aroma. It poured a small sized white, smooth, creamy head that consisted of fine-small sized bubbles that fully dissipated. The body was slightly cloudy and carbonated with a yellow hue. The nose was that of very little malt and hops with a sweet, hoppy and malty flavor to it. It was smooth and tingly on the palate and was light-medium bodied.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - OCT 1, 2003

Forgettable. Clear golden. Scent is negligible, a bit wheaty, some mild fruitiness but not much going on. Taste is watered-down lemon, not much of anything going on. Undercarbonated, a mite watery. Quite blah.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - SEP 26, 2003

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2005 Pours a "blonde" color with not much head but surprisingly great lacing. Aroma is musky dirty funk ass cock with wheat on the side. Flavors mimics but with a sweeter aftertaste. Finishes musky and poor like the bum I’m considering pouring this on. I don’t care for blondes much but saying that I didn’t like this blonde much is like saying that Jenna Jamison puts out.

thedm (4118) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 24, 2003

This brew poured a medium sized head of off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a hazy light yellow orange brown colored softly carbonated body. It has a mild malt hop aroma. The mouthfeel is crisp and bubbly in the start with a mild tingly finish. The flavor is a medium strength malt hop one and is very refreshing. A very good choice for our dinner this evening.

haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - SEP 16, 2003

Deep yellow pour with little head. Kind of like a cream ale, some balance with the hops and malt. Not bad but kind of lacking.

Not overly impressive. My first Red Hook. I really expected more, but it was still okay.
