Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is light malt, wet grain, and a tart bit of wheat. Flavor is light and sweet, with a lightly spicy finish.

A nearly clear yellow pour with very little white head that dissipates fast. It has a faint wheat aroma with a hint of lemon. It has a thin watery mouthfeel and a slight lemon taste.

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a decent white head that slowly fades. Taste is of malt, grain, corn, citrus and grass. Slightly sweet. Similar aroma. Very easy to drink and rather enjoyable. A good beer to have on a hot day.

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Shaw’s (Ellsworth, ME). Arôme: Légère odeur d’houblons avec une pointe de citron. Apparence: La couleur est blonde-dorée avec une très faible densité de bulle. Saveur: Léger goût de céréales avec une pointe d’houblons. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût légèrement fruité. (Rating #2778)

I give Redhook props for trying to cut into BMC’s mass stranglehold on the american beer market. Little did we know that they would take their discontinued Blonde ale, lighten it a bit, trim some calories, and package it in a smaller bottle. It’s light with a thin mouthfeel, kinda like one of those "diet desserts" that feels like the empty and hollow shell of a real one.

Funny name? Nope, true name. Slim chance I would drink another one of these. Yellow pour. Aroma is grainy and a little hoppy with some lemony scents. Flavor is grainy, light citrus hops. Boring.

Yellow pour, slight corny aroma with a bit of toastiness. Flavor follows this, malting is a bit hollow and not very satisfying, but extremely light and sessionable. If you want to pound beers but don’t want to buy coors you can buy this and be happy I suppose

Bottle:Slim chance? Wow, that’s a setup. Light flavor and hop for low calories? Novel! Light husky malts and a crisp fairly bright hop note. Malty body, thin finish. There’s a slim chance I’ll drink it again.

12oz bottle. Rasting #94. Pale yellow with a fairly thin white head. Big grainy aroma. Just a hint of sweetness. Very little to the flavor, slight (very slight) bitterness in the finish, but not much else. ꀜ)

Big nutty flavor, smooth and crisp. Surprisingly good for a light beer. On tap at Yardhouse in Coral Gables, Miami. I believe it was listed as a light lager.
