2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This beer has a medium bitterness and light on sour, I was expecting a different taste from this beer, but overall it is a nice beer
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale gold, no head, no lace. Nose of lemon and rye. Taste of rye and lemon as well, with a bitter rye finish. I would like it a lot more if it were not dead in the mouth. Gets a couple of extra points for being low alcohol. I can drink a couple of these at a barbecue and still cook safely. But it’s interesting that Red Hook tried to go Big Time by selling its soul to Anheuser Busch and remains a mid sized but now soul-less brewer. Interesting contrast with Sam Adams.

it is sweetish and rather interesting when first experienced. good on tap and decidedly different from the bottle.

This thing would be wonderful on a hot day out mowing the lawn. I found myself gulping this brew. The commerical description was certainly right on. I liked this one.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at Mile Square in Hoboken. Not my favorite beer, but then again, look at the brewer. I’ve never been a big fan of Red Hook.

5/5/06: Boy can looks be deceiving. This blonde ale pours a vibrant hazy golden yellow with a moderately thick head, tons of lacing, and a strong steady flow of carbonation. This beer looks impressive and delicious, and that’s about where the positives end. Aroma is a close to non-existent blend of malts with a faint hint of rye, I can’t believe how weak the scent is. Anyway time for a taste and...not bad, rather bland not at all what I was anticipating. After a few more tastes and a few more bottles the flavor is slightly more present than the aroma. Now it is a decent taste and really does come across as refreshing, but for all of the lacing I assumed there would be a nice hearty malt presence here. Slightly dry and the rye does make itself faintly known. Overall a disappointment
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Hazy green golden apprearance with large offwhie head. Flavor is of straw and has a hint of rye. Overall, this beer has too much carboard and chemical taste to be a good beer.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
draft; tastes like a real rye cut with water along with a subtle dust-taste that pretty much killed this one for me. I’m not really a rye fan anyways, but this seems like a poor attempt at the style.
