2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Another beer I had awhile back but apparently forgot to rate. A ho-hum beer (like so many redhook beers to me).
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not great but not horrible. Aroma and flavor is very mild. Not very complex and a bit watery. Just boring.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours a pale bubbly yellow with aroma of hops mixed with a slight sweetness of fruit. Taste is slightly sour with a hint of hops that dissapates after the swallow. Overall a decent blonde golden ale with no complexity.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a deep gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma of light citrus and a little bready wheat. Taste is lightly bitter. Medium-light bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Nothing I would seek out but I would drink it again.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear golden color, some carbonation, very small head, light lacing. Grain and biscuity malts, with a bit of hops giving a dry finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted bottle from mix pack into standard pint glass. Poured a clear, light golden color with fluffy white foam, somewhat lasting with a little lace. Aroma of grass, toast, distant noble hops, very faint roasted barley and even fainter fruity yeast phenols. Flavor is almost entirely neutral, but hints of malt-sweetness, hops bitterness, and just a little apricot. This isn’t a spicy Belgian blond ale, and it’s not a crisp, clean lager either. It’s something in between; not bad but kind of bland and boring. Still drinkable and relatively refreshing, would be good with rich food.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear gold color and has a nice, one inch, white head that slowly fades. Taste is of malt, barley, honey, grass and some hops. Similar aroma. Has a decent body. There is a slight bitterness towards the end. Not as easy to drink as I thought it would be. Not bad, but not worth getting again.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle. nice yellow color with a nice head. very drinkable session beer. Great in the summer. not much to it, but no off flavors.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear golden with white head. Aromas of cereal, caramel, honey, grass. Flavors of cereal, honey, caramel. Balanced finish. Medium-thin body with soapy mouthfeel and moderate,low carbonation. Not very enticing but flawless. Great session beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
An average beer. Clear gold with little head. Taste is wheaty, and little sweet and lemony, kind of like a Natty Light. A good beer, but nothing spectacular. A better alternative to Natty Light.
