Good days deserve a great beer. Ladder Run is an amber lager made for those post-adventure moments — warming up by the fire, kicking back after a fall hike, or stretching out a bluebird day on the mountain. It’s smooth, balanced, and ready when you are.

Whoa...... This was rushed. A butter diacetyl mess. Musty, buttery grains, yuck.

Another solid King offering. Copper pour, Bready aroma, grassy hops. Nothing wrong with this. A good quality beer, but really nothing to rave about.

On tap at WVRST - part of a tasting set. Also had it on tap at beer bistro in the same night. A ruby amber pour with a solid malty aroma. The taste is bready caramel and pretty smooth. Alright.

This lager poured a nice medium amber colour with a off white, smooth head. Scents include ripe fruit, malt, tea and hops. First taste was nice and smooth. Quite creamy mouthfeel. Flavours of light raisin (or other ripened fruit?), bread and a tiny bit of smoke. Finish is really nice with a light bitterness and hop/malt flavor lingering.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur ambrée-dorée et claire. Nez de caramel sucré aux notes rôties et terreuses, léger de noix, de miel et de houblon herbeux aux notes florales et métalliques. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux faibles notes crémeuses et aqueuses. Faibles notes fruitées (agrumes) accompagné de notes de cuir terreux lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un moyen goût de grains de malt caramélisés et très légèrement rôtis puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût de noix (voire d’arachides naturelles) asséchant avec une légère amertume de houblon herbeux ainsi que quelques notes métalliques. Post-goût moyen-court et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût métallique, rôti et de noix.

Bottle: Poured a light clear copper color Vienna with a medium foamy head with good carbonation and some light lacing. Aroma of biscuit malt with light caramel malt is good. Taste is dominated by light dry caramel malt with light gain notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing really special here.

Pours an amber colour with an off-white head that stays a while and gives out a little lace. Perfumy nose with some caramel malts and light roasted one. Nice sweetness in the taste, but not overly, well-balanced with some fruity and caramel malts, very mild hops and hints of grain and vanilla. I really enjoyed this one a few months back (purchased in a 6-pack), but not sure about the one I am having tonight (from the discovery pack). Maybe it is what I ate, but I know I would get some more of this. A good vienna.

Pours a deep amber. Taste has a little perfume - the faintest hint but there is something there. On tap at beervbistro.
