Hook & Ladder Golden Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

This poured a clear golden color as expected. The aroma contains some lemons and grassy notes. The flavor was a bit sour with lemons and some biscuit flavors going on. The palate was rather thin. Overall nothing really great nor offensive about this beer.

Smells like a cream ale with some mild malts and peppery hops. Yellow-copper in color, good sized white head and small strands of lacing. Medium to light bodied, balanced and non-offensive. Nutty bread with a spicy grassy hop profile. Overall the flavor is mild, but pleasant.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: The body has a very clear appearance with some visible carbonation and a bright golden color. Its head is light and sudsy, bright white in color and fades out quickly leaving no lacing at all. Smell: Its aroma is mild and brings only a light hint of grain with very mild hops in the background. Taste/Mouth feel: A simple but nice light grain flavor and a very mild wheat twang mixes with a good balance of bitterness from hops. The body is fairly light and highly drinkable with a thin texture and average carbonation. Notes: Its overall appearance is a bit dull and its flavor was simple and light making it a nice summer time beer.

Pours a golden color with some orange in there and a thin white head. The aroma is mostly bready with just a little fruitiness. The flavor is bready malts with soft sweet caramel, a little bit of honey, and a very mild hop finish. A bit thin. Not something I'll likely go out of my way to re-vist but this isn't a bad beer and would be a wonderful swill replacement.

From changeup 45, H & L pours a nice golden yellow body, with good carbonation, a thin white head that left good lace. Aroma and flavor of grass, corn and sweet malts. Refreshing and it had a nice finish, decent enough. Thanks Garry.

The first beer I'm rating after the 9 day detox. Woot! Not the best. Pours a clear golden colour with a slight orange hue. Head is initially medium sized which leaves behind a decent amount of lacing, for whatever that is worth. The most noticeable thing about this beer is it's prevalent corn aroma and taste which i notice mostly in the finish. Lots of grain, and corn throughout the palate. Aroma is of corn, lemon and maybe some sort german hops.

Another MacGregors offering A really nice golden ale. Poured a deep gold with a thin white head and good lacing. The aroma was clean and fresh with hints of yeast. There was a nice simple fresh smell to this ale. It could be enjoyed with any number of food pairings
