REVIEWS

TheBraveLittleToaster:

  • Taste: A very crisp, golden refreshing brew that quenches even the deepest thirst. It's a smooth and easy swallow with a spicy after note. I like to consider this the Gatorade of beers, because it beats the shit out of your thirst, a beating only surpassed by the one Chris Brown put on Rihanna.
  • Color: Deep gold with a light copper hint
  • Bottle Apperance: Not an amazing bottle apperance. I like to think they put all their effort on what's inside and not what's on the outside, sort of like what God does when he creates ugly chicks. Still, because it's for a great cause and the beer rocks, I forgive the shitty non-creative "let-your-4-year-old-adopted-son-with-social-anxiety-disorder-choose-the-beer-bottle-apperance" look. So played out.
  • Density: Light to Medium.
  • Opinion:
    This is a great grown up beer. Kids, go to sleep early, daddy's drinking and he
    just might hit mommy*. This brew has a great balance of hops and barley that
    satifies your insides. *TheBraveLittleToaster does not condone domestic
    violence; please keep in mind if you drink, don't beat (unless it's your
    dick)**. **Not valid in Texas.
  • Recommended For:
    Big Boys, fanatics of a full tasting beer, people stuck in traffic, people
    whose air conditioning has broken. Also, marathon runners, mechanics, pilots
    of
    South West airlines and alcholics that need a reason to get back in the
    game.
    (Keep in mind that for every barrel of beer sold, Hook and Ladder
    donates money
    to a local fire house).

Final Score: 9.3

TheSickness:

  • Taste: Cool, rich, refreshing taste. Like a thousand celestial angels urinating into my mouth at once, damning my thirst to hell.
  • Color: Rich amber color, like rich grains of freedom.
  • Bottle Appearance: Aesthetically pleasing, it is almost as if the bottle is a mini-fireman, but instead of putting out fires, it puts out dehydration. If a fire were to break out as I drank this beer, I would feel safe. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Flammability tests have yet to be conducted, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POUR THIS ON YOURSELF AND LIGHT YOURSELF ON FIRE, YOU MIGHT HARM THE BEER.
  • Opinion:
    An AMAZING refreshing beer, this beer shall now replace all fire extinguishers
    at my job. It is not overwhelming on the palate, but rather a balanced mix that
    made me fall in love with ales all over again. Plus, it's for a good cause. This
    beer did everything right; it is my new favorite beer. Not much else to write
    here, I thoroughly enjoyed every drop. TheSickness + Hook & Ladder Golden
    Ale = <3.
  • Recommended for:
Everyone and the Pope... especially the Pope. Even the dead ones. I LOVE THIS
BEER!

Final Score: 9.3

THE VERDICT:

As beer reviewers with distinct likes and opinions on what a good beer truly consists of, we were surprised when we both decided on it being a 9.3, which is a very high rating for either of us. The special review lady also gave it a high score, which is also noteworthy for an ale. If you are not ordering one while reading this, you have failed as an individual and human being. Go out and buy this beer, and when you do, make sure to send a few bottles our way; don't be a hog, you greedy bastard.
