Redhook Slim Chance

Brewed by Redhook Brewery
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Woodinville, Washington USA

Bottle from Party Source. Poured clear dark pale color with a moderate creamy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light malt and wheat aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet citrus flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. Average drinkable beer.

12oz bottle 5/9/09 (Binny’s Plainfield)-Pours a clear golden with a small white head and an aroma of grains and slight hops. Taste is of the same with the addition of some dryness. This light bodied brew is not bad but again it’s a light beer that does not need to be made.

Draft at Tastings wine bar in downtown Orlando. Pours clear with a light golden color. A small, fizzy white head is quickly fleeting, leaving minimal spotting behind on the glass. The nose is pretty non-descript, showing mostly pale cereal grain and very light grassy hops. Flavors are equally boring, cereal grain and corn sweetness cut with the faintest possible edge of dried grassy bitterness. Thin, watery, and fizzy on the palate. This stuff is the ale equivalent of a macro pale lager. Not good.

The name refers to the odds that this beer could be good. For a light beer, it could be worse. Just can’t really see the point, though. More grainy than hoppy; sweet; watery. Boring.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma, rather light. Light flavor as well hints of grainy and sweet malts. No off flavors. A decent, easy drinking session ale.

Wasn’t expecting much, but this really wasn’t bad. Few ingredients, not much flavor, but very drinkable. Moderate carbonation and crisp finish are positives for this beer. Slightly better than the average pale lager out there. No aroma

Deep gold colored body with a bright white head. The aroma was meaty and beefy with bread dough. The taste is fairly light with bread dough and some sweet potato. There is also some hints of corn husk in the finish. Overall, this is decent but a little too much vegetable in the flavor.

This would rate slightly better in the "light lager" category. Clear amber with one finger of white rapidly receding head. No lacings that stay. Sweet malts with a soapy somewhat bready character. Slight bitter almost sour finish. Mouthfeel is alright cold. I would almost prefer a Silver Bullet if I have to go light. Even better a S.A. light lager.
