Light sweet mild grainy aroma. Golden colored brew with a fizzy head. Light sweet, just the smallest hint of rye. Finishes pretty clean. Just not a lot going on here. One might say uninteresting.

Draft at the Woodinville brewpub. Crystal clear medium gold with scant off-white head. Not much nose: sweaty, maybe. Light body. Almost watery. Almost corny mid-palate; just a hint of rye sourness, but only enough to let you know that there’s a flavor here that you wouldn’t ordinarily expect, so...it kinda seems like an off note. Not much finish. Company says it "tastes like watered down grain alcohol. The aftertaste is like rubbing alcohol."

A bright yellow ale with a teeny head, its faint aroma is that of honey sweet malt with a dash of pepper. Thin, light malt taste, lightly fruity with said dash of pepper. Uninspired, but okay for hot weather when you need a quick quenching.

Medium yellow gold color. Medium white foamy head. Aroma is grainy and sweet, with a hint of spiciness. A medium bodied blond ale. Malts are slightly fruity and sweet. Hops are fairly bland, if present at all. There is minimal spiciness from the rye as well. Very bland and unexciting beer. Redhook Rye Ale used to be such a great beer, this stuff falls way short of that. It’s drinkable but sort of disappointing. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and there is a touch of weird ‘vegetable’ taste as well.

Clear yellow amber with no head. Sweet rye bread aroma and taste with some sweet malty notes.

This bubbly yellow beer poured with a thin off-white head that disappeared in seconds. There is actually a pretty solid malt base that is fairly tasty. However, this is a beer that is designed for summer thirst quenching, so is a bit thin, but crisp and refreshing.

This is a golden beer that's highly sedimented with tiny still particles clouding the whole glass. There's little to no head. The aroma is grainy. The flavor is citricly acidic and vaguely sweet with an underlying crisp malt flavor. This is actually a very good light cooler of a beer.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Friday evening beer tasting social. Pours a clear light golden blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a white ring. Aroma of light multi-grain malt, dry citrus and some yeast. Flavor is light bodied, lots of carbonation with a dry malt flavor. Finish is clean, crisp with a slight tart rye aftertaste.

Medium cloudy gold color. Traces of a white head on top. The aroma is oranges and jelly beans. The light citrus taste is refreshing. It also has white bread. This is alright as a lawnmower beer, but I would prefer a hefe.

Draft pours light golden, large frothy white head, subtle carbonation, with very sticky lacing.   Aroma of malts, maybe some wheat/rye, and light citrus notes.   Flavor is malty, yet rather wheaty.   Full mouthfeel, medium bodied.   Finishes light, fairly crisp.   This year is much better than last years.   A good summer offering.
