Dennis: I'm not really a light body beer fan personally, but then again I really don't like drinking in the sun either. I can imagine this would be a very light refreshing beer to enjoy on the patio during a bbq when you don't want to be slugging back anything that would slow you down. Given a choice between MGD and this I would go with Sunrye. Light body, crisp taste with a slight tangy/citrusy/apricoty after taste that really is well done. Very subtle, not bitter at all. Over all between price, taste, and if you like a crisp light beer you'll like this. Probably good to ween somebody off the macro brew's onto the micro brews.
Jen: One of Redhooks lighter beers, but it still offers nice flavors. The body is light and the beer has subtle rye flavors with undertones of lemon. It is slightly sweet and has almost no hop flavor to it what so ever. A beer that is more fitting for the summer time than the fall or winter (feels like it). Worth a try if you like summery lemon ales.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
