Redhook Blonde Ale
Posted by dugpark on April 20, 2008
The beer fridge is officially on line and in production. That being the case, I had to stop by the store and get some filler beer to make sure I had something for folks to drink if they came over. I have designated a shelf for my tasting and the rest of the fridge will be for general consumption. Seems to be working so far, although I am going to make a sign just to be double sure.
One of the beers I purchased tonight was Redhook Blonde Ale. I love Redhook and I have been a fan of their ESB ever since I had it, but I haven’t ventured out into the other ales much. So this and their IPA were sitting at the gas station and I thought that would be a good start to the fridge.
A job well done, if I must say so myself. Redhook’s Blonde Ale is a solid blonde with plenty of mild flavored goodness for a chilly spring day. I enjoyed it while the kids played in the cul-de-sac, sipping back 2 or three and giving neighbors some of my other beer stock. All in all, the mild flavor and gentle kick of hops and malt brought this one home for me and made it hit the spot.
