Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC, as Hook and Ladder Lager
Blond color. Pleasant ale, with a cookie dough touch.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Golden coloured and hoppy with some dryness in a lasting pale malt finish.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy tight white head and yellow color. Aroma is husky, corn. Taste is seltzer, some husky, corn, spice hops. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.

Bottle… Clear yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention. The yeasty nose offers grain, biscuit and home-made soap. Light to medium-bodied and watery with middle-of-the-road carbonation. Thin, with no flavor whatsoever. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Pours pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Smells of sweet malt and peppery. Tastes light and watery with some stray hops as the beer warms.

Light straw color with a tallish white head. Interesting name as I catch grain and cigarette but scent aromas. I really do seem to smell used tobacco. Grain and corn flavors. Hint of grassy hops. Watery, nearly flat feel, like old tonic water. No major faults, but certainly not rousing in any way.

Bottle 12 oz at Village Pub, KY. Poured clear light pale color with large white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light to moderate grainy malt aroma. Light body with soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with light sweet finish of short duration. Below average brew.
