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.

Bottled. Actually much better than expected. Very drinkable beer. Clear gold colour with a medium white head and decent lacing. Aroma is sweet malt but a little hop hiding. Flavour was more malt, definitely some wheat and a nice crisp finish.

Sparky (2128) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JUL 19, 2008
Tap. Pours a dark clear gold with 2 finger white head a nice lacing. Nose is soap, light grain and malt. Taste is mostly sweet malt with grain and a weird tasting mild hop finish. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Not very good.

typical of most blond beers, this one is bland, thin, pretty flavorless and ultimately forgettable.

yellow pour, a tiny amount of citrus aroma and taste but it just never went anywhere.

craftycarl21 (1591) - Washington DC, USA - JUL 4, 2008
fairly weak aroma, nothing too exciting- weak citrus and some wheat. flavor of spice and some malt, nothing complex or exciting. pretty drinkable, but nothing special.

DukeBrewDevil (619) - Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - JUN 30, 2008
Draft. Dark yellow color, small head. Citrus and some spice on the nose. A solid beer with flavors of cloves, coriander, and yeasty undertones. Not amazing, but a nice summer brew.

I apparently like this beer a good bit more than everyone else who has rated it but I honestly thought it was great. It’s certainly not something that make you take a step back and say "wow that’s an amazing beer", but it’s got decent flavor and is extraordinarily drinkable which makes it a very good everyday beer. That’s higher praise than I would give for many others...
