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.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a golden blonde color with a one finger white bubbly and somewhat foamy white head. There was some light lacing that slid into the beer.
The smell had a light sweet corn, light citrus and a piney hops to it.
The taste followed the nose.
On the palate, this one sat pretty light and came across pretty sessionable.
Overall, decent to good blonde ale I could see maybe possibly having again depending upon what else was there.

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.

12 oz bottle into English pint. Two blonde ales back to back--how exciting! That is sarcasm you hear in my words. Nose is pretty bland, but there’s some pineapple and Granny Smith apple aromas present. Hazy gold appearance with a small head full of big bubbles that dissipates very quick. Compared to the Beach Bum I had before this, this one is definitely not as pretty to look at. Not as tasty, either. Beach Bum stood out from the blonde ale crowd; this one fits right in. There is absolutely nothing interesting to distinguish this from the scores of blonde ales out there. Extremely boring. Very drinkable if you’re in a sessionable non-thinking mood, however. Taste is bittersweet (bitterness is slight; sweetness is more apparent). Finish is a bit salty. But it seems almost all Redhook beers are salty. What’s up with that anyway? Carbonation is high; body is light. Kind of watery. So Beach Bum wins in this blonde ale comparison.

12 oz. bottle from "build a six" rack at Hy-Vee, Storm Lake, IA. Light ale smell, a golden pilsener color with just a tint of haze. Taste opens with some ale fruitiness. Hop pepper at the top of the lips. Otherwise, it stays a basic beer, just a bit more hearty than a summer lawnmowerbrau. Still, a better version than other beers in this style.

Overall Impression: Had this one a bunch of times, usually out of a Redhook sampler pack, it's an alright example of the Blonde style. Flavors are fairly muted, thin, and light, if that's your cup-of-tea, you'll probably enjoy this one more then I do.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sweet roasted malt aromas. Sweet and sour thin wheat and malt upfront. Dry medium length hop finish.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of Alraomon, Thanks! Pours a golden amber color with a thin fizzy head. Aroma is weak, but shows grainy and sweet malty notes. Taste is grain, honey, mild hop notes. Thin-medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a light malt with yeast and light hop. The taste is a corn malt with light fruit and a bitter finish. Not too much going on with this golden ale from Redhook.

Quickly dissipating white head. Golden color. Bready aroma. Bland slightly malty and bready taste. Modicum of hops in there.
