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.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 11, 2004
Sampled draught at Tony Roma’s Burbank.
Clear deep golden, small head. Light flowery, honeyish aroma. Sweet and clean with hard mouthfeel. Low-medium bitterness. Fizzy and quite boring.

bu11zeye (9626) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - JAN 15, 2005
(Draft) Pours a clear golden body with a medium white head. Flavor of mild hops, some sour and skunkiness. Fairly bland and more of a thirst quencher.

jcwattsrugger (8704) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - OCT 16, 2006
on tap-pours a white head with gold/yellow color. Aroma is light sweet malt. Taste is light sweet malt, grassy, musty, hay, some hops bite. OK carbonation.

hopscotch (7289) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - SEP 22, 2002
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2003 This beer rocks. This beer so desperately wants to be BASS, but comes up just a bit short in almost every category. Still, an excellent blond ale. Try one... try six, I hear the business end of Redhook isn't doing so well right now.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - NOV 18, 2006
Light malt and hop aroma. Tarnished gold color with virtually no head. Substantial mouthfeel. Sweetish malt coats the mouth, but hops get the edges of the tongue. However, the strongest impression is carbonation. The flavors are nice, but not very strong. I think some citrus develops in the finish. Decent and drinkable.
