Redhook is somewhat local. Their brewery is up in Woodinville. I've been there. I went to ExBEERience there in 2011. We ate in their restaurant. I didn't enjoy it. Thus, I am going to probably rate this lower based solely on my feeling of the brewery.
The beer was bought earlier in the night and was not super cold and I was not impressed with this beer. It smelled like a generic Redhook beer. I find they must either use the same generic hops or malts or combination and that a lot of their beers taste the same. I was really underwhelmed. I think I feel the same way about Redhook as I do about BJ's. They are just another mass brewery trying to be too big and their beer quality has suffered.
Beer Advocate definitely needs more reviews!
Here's a Red Hook's site on the Blueline series, though it seems they rotate through the different beers in the series so you may not find this one on their site.
