Red Hook Long Hammer IPA

It has been awhile since I have had a Long Hammer from Red Hook. Friend brought some Red Hook beer to a party and I decided to give it a try.

Poured what looked like apple juice into a pint. Light golden color, pretty hazy, and some decent carbonation. Poured about an inch and a half head and it disappeared pretty quickly. Not much lacing.

I couldn't smell much. Very light hop and not much malt. As it warms up I got a slight grapefruit hop, but not much. The taste was like it smells, faint and not much. It was pretty bland but seemed like a beer for parties where it was easy to drink but not much to taste. I didn't hate it, but will only drink it if there is nothing else around. I do not see myself buying this.
