Golden blonde and light-bodied, this crisp ale is the perfect thirst quencher.

Bottle, thanks to Mei. Blond pour with some white head. Aroma is light grain, some sweetness, reminiscent of a golden ale I had awhile back in VA. Flavor is the same, Light banana and lemon, mixed with grain and sweetness. I actually enjoy this style.

On Tap-Station 7 Resteraunt-Pittsville MD. Poured a light golden yellow color w/a very slight head. Pleasent hop flavor up front w/some traces of sweetness. Clean, crisp, creamy, easy drinking brew with a long full finish. They were calling this a Golden Ale & I think that is a much more accurate description, this didn’t remind me of a wheat at all. Not spectacular, would appeal to the macro crowd & was a natural to serve @ this resteraunt-a converted Firehouse!!-But they took my Yuengling lager off tap to add it-BOO!!!

I liked the appearance of this beer..its a nice hazy golden colour..large frothy white head.. Smell is lackluster though theres a faint lemony scent.. Taste is pleasant but nothing stellar..mostly sweet..malts a small bitterness at the end. Average mouthfeel Quite drinkable but I don't think blondes are my style.

Pours a hazy yellow/golden almost like a hefe. Taste is citrusy and has a slight bitterness to it. A well done blond.

jefcon (1104) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - JAN 15, 2007
Clean aromas of citrus and wheat, with some sharp hops on the nose, too. Golden in color with lively carbonation. Plenty of ale characteristics on flavors... a little grassy, plenty of grains, and a slightly bittering finish. Smooth on the palate, but full like an ale. Lots of body to complement an easy-drinking beer.

Pours gold into a shaker. Micro head quickly subsides to hug rim. Stale malt aromas. Sour from front to back. Lasting metallic finish.

alexanderj (2830) - Gilbert, Arizona, USA - FEB 3, 2009
Bottle courtesy of golubj. Pours a light amber, ruddy gold color with a short lasting head. Aroma of biscuit with a citrus bite. Agree with Jon that this was very familiar. I actually quite enjoyed the flavor and found it both balanced and hoppy for the style. Biscuit, lemon, citrus and earth. Would work best as a summertime beer.

Hook and Ladder Golden Ale. Rating #993. Pours orange/gold, with a white head. Aroma is grass, malt, and grain. Flavor is malt, grass, and corn. Nothing special here, but this would probably be a nice summertime session brew.
