Hook and Ladder Golden Ale

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Rochester, New York USA

Gold color with a small head and fizzy carbonation. Yeasty nose with slight fruit notes. Taste is yeasty with nice sweetness of pale malts and a tartness and club-soda quality. Tart and slightly chalky finish.

A delicious golden ale. Aroma was a little weak, but that is usual for the style. Light malt is all you can pick up. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was very crisp and refreshing. Strong carbonation with the very slightest hoppy bite. The carbonation pricks the cheeks and tongue and the flavors are an afterthought and hard to detect. Call me crazy but I love beers like this.

(bottle - 12 oz) Amber color with a puffy white head. Aroma is lightly sweet and malty with some hints of floral hops and toasted grains. Flavor is smooth and sweet with a good hint of caramel and toasty malts. Very light touch of hops at the end. Very drinkable.

Poured golden with a nicewhite head. Smooth, thirst quenching, and enough flavor to make it interesting. I like it for what it is.

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.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a slim white head. Fruity sweet malts, nice restrained hops with a light to medium body.

The aroma is yeasty with malt and a touch of fruit and nuts. The appearance is golden with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is a tad thin. Overall very enjoyable and better than expected.
