DrBayern (1139) - Morehead City, North Carolina, USA - JUL 31, 2008
12 oz. bottle at Bottega Toscana in Newburyport, MA on 7/24/2008.

Aroma - Light fruitiness with some distant grainy and floral character

Appearance - Hazy yellow gold with a solid medium white head.

flavor - Somewhat bitter, more so thatn expected, and the faint and ill defined maltiness just didn’t compensate sufficiently.

Plate - Very light, but not watery, clean, and lightly carbonated.

Overall - Inoffensive, but not much character. Clean, refreshing in a way, but nothing stands out.

Draft as Hook & Ladder. Minor league aroma and head. A decent sweet taste, I like blonde ales so kill me.

SynergyXJ (510) - Blacksburg, Virginia, USA - JUL 25, 2008
Bottle, #393 Urine pour with pretty big white head. Light aroma with some offness to it. Not much good with the flavor either. Decent brew, but not much here.

Bottle: First off, this was a bottle of Hook & Ladder Golden Ale. This beer poured a golden yellow with a white head. The aroma was of wet dog and cardboard. The flavor wasn’t much better. Tasted metallic, overly sweet and tart. Overall, Not a fan.

Vas19 (313) - Maryland, USA - JUL 19, 2008
Pours clear golden with a white head. Malty aroma with a touch of lime and hop. Flavor is basic and refreshing. A touch of malt and hop is all. Very inoffensive, good for a summer day.

Bottle. Labeled as Hook and Ladder Golden Ale. Bought a sixer on a whim as the local package goods store is running out of brews I havnt bought. I guess every now and then there’s a not so good brew. This is one of them. There is nothing out of the ordinary abou this brew.

Called "Hook And Ladder Golden". On tap at The Happen Inn. Get an 8 on Overall Impression because this was actually on tap in 2 different places in Little Falls, NY. Population: 4,000 (give or take). Actually, considering what I was up against, this was a pleasant treat, though nothing I’d seek out unless I were back there again. Probably the most solid tap in a good 7 mile radius though. I saw a dude get beat to a pulp in the bar that night. Solid.
