sallyclub99 (54), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Jun 9, 2001 Absolutely was a mistake to take this one off the market. Redhook stopped producing this beer when brewery bought by major company. Rye beer not for all beer drinkers. Unfiltered, with nice crisp taste. I have been able to closely replicate brewing my own though, so I won’t go without!!
scooterbub (259), Lander, Wyoming, USA Jan 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy golden-yellow with a decent, clingy, foamy, white head that slowly fades. Taste is of some rye, honey, citrus, wheat and some hops. Has a good mouthfeel. The body is slightly thin. Rather crisp, clean, smooth, refreshing and very easy to drink, even when it is warm/hot. A great brew to have on a hot day and it isn’t half bad during the winter months. Overall, it isn’t bad, but I wish it had more of a rye taste to it. Worth revisitng again. ROGUE (388), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a cloudy light orange color with a thin light white head. Nose is grainy and toasted, hints of rye bread characters. No hops to speak of, slight citrus. Taste is of grain and citrus, taste the heavy rye upfront followed by a sour lemon zest. Overly grainy and average. Medium bodied, not bad. blklab2007 (634), Connecticut, USA Dec 16, 2008 bottle dated 4/14/08 poured a golden color with a thin white head that fell. aroma has sweet malt, mild rye, and a grainy wheat. mouth feel is light with average carbonation. flavor starts with sweet grains, rye touches, some mild yeast, and faint bitterness. good considering this is not the newest bottle and better than anticipated. Lubiere (3525), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 8, 2008 A lightly hazed blonde with a thick white head. A grainy rye aroma. A watery grainy beer, with light honey, no character. Blaaahh! Flour City brewfest, August 15 2008. marcus (1194), Sacramento, California, USA Nov 29, 2008 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.
