Redhook Sunrye

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

Lightly hazy and bright, light orange with a sudzy, quickly fading head. Crisp and refreshing on the tongue. Light, fruity notes of lemon zest. Malts were grainy and slightly nutty. Some "beery" qualities. Dryish, thirst-quenching finish. This beer was better than I expected, but after having it again, it didn’t impress as much as the first time. Not a bad lawnmower beer, I suppose.

Love this unfiltered brew. The best quality Redhook I've yet had. Crisp as befitting the rye (seems noticeable, perhaps its more than "a touch"?). Definitely refreshing. If I had access to this I would definitely drink it more often. Aroma seems adjunct-less.

Ok new beer from Redhook one of my "fridge" brewers..it was brewed on March 26th 2003 so its pretty darn fresh Says it has roasted barley, delicate hops and a touch of rye andd is "slightly unfiltered" whatever that means. Any way when i pour it into my pint mug it certainlly looks very attractive..nice bright golden yellow..with a small amount of haze..it took a slightly vigorous pour to get a small head..but it soon went to be replaced by a ring around the glass. The aroma is pretty average..very clean and subdued but still pleasant. Wow this beer has a great crisp , fresh tase then i can certainlly taste the rye especially in the after taste. Nice and not too bitter..but certainlly the rye sems to make all the difference..excellent..I am enjoying this. Very nice on the tongue its dry at the start but doesnt finish dry at all..good stuff as far as I am concerned. This has to be among the most enjoyable summer brews I have yet to encounter..happy I bought a few..very good. NOTE: this was reviewed back in April 2003..just after the beer was released.

Bottle: a little malt, but not much else in the aroma. Beautiful looking. Hay colored with tons of floaties and a white, white head. Palate also has the nice floaty influence. Flavor. It just doesn't really go anywhere. It starts with some malt, but just stops. I get little or no hops. I do believe it would be good on a 95 degree day, but it's 65 and rainy today.

Slightly hazy with nice, thick white head. Color is light brown. Dry, lightly malted flavor. Weak finish. Maltiness is very light, but okay for a summer beer.

odd enough its not bad for a wimp light tasting beer.slam these on a hot day they go down like water

There was nothing special about this beer and it definitely lacked character. In other words, BORING. It poured a small sized white head that quickly dissipated. The body was cloudy with some carbonation observed and the hue was pale yellow. The nose was malty and it had a smooth, thin, watery mouthfeel and it was light bodied. There was virtually no lacing to speak of.

Straw color with a moderate white head. Spritzy lemon aroma and mild malt/lemony flavors. Mild to thin bodied. Light, summer thirst quencher and nothing more.
