On tap as Hook and Ladder. Standard clear golden color with a short lived white head. The aroma was grassy and sweet. The flavor was ever so lightly citrus washed out by sweet sugars and malt. A mouthfeel that was quite boring. Not bad. Not good. Just there.

Bottle (12oz). Shared by blankboy with me and garthicus. Light gold pour, clear, with a small diminishing white head (3-). Very light aroma of honey and clover, clean, slightly perfumey. tastes like a decently well-made macro golden ale - moderately grainy, a little floral and sweet, a light grassy bitterness in the linger. Watery, ever-so-slightly astringent, very quick-finishin - lawnmower beer.

My bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus. As ’Hook and Ladder Golden Ale’. Pours a clear pale orange with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma of fruit, honey, pale malt and light hops. Flavour’s a little boring, there’s nothing bad about it, it’s just dull: very light hops and pale malt with a hint of honey. Average bodied. Better then I expected but still just O.K.
