Dec 15, 2007 It’s a warm amber beer with a decent head. The aroma is malty just like the flavour that also has a nice bitterness from beginning to the end, where it gets citrussy notes. It’s an Ok bitter without being exceptional. But I think it has a lot of taste, even of it’s only 3,4% - Hook Norton really can master that!

Mar 14, 2006 A light, amber brown beer, with a weak white head. A very light, sweetish, floral hop nose, plus a tiny hint of malt. The taste is a bitter sweet hoppiness with the touch of malt again in the finish. (Bottle - purchased from Tesco as part of a four pack of small British brewer’s beers).

Sep 12, 2005 From the bottle this poured a deep amber body, lightly carbonated, with an initially dense, creamy head. The aroma is butterscotch, apples, light earthy hops, and a hint of citric tartness. Very smooth in the mouth, the flavor is malty and nutty with light fruit flavors and a lemony bitter finish. Interesting and quite drinkable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.beergeek.biz/> BeerGeek.biz

Feb 16, 2005 Bottle Conditioned from Tesco in RA multipack. Golden with bubbly white head. Hook Norton dipping their toe into BCA’s with this strengthened version of their Best Bitter. More rounded than the standard BB with a stronger malty base. Less top hop notes, but altogether a very decent beer, much preferable to the filtered BB but will never beat cask. Lets have more BCA’s from Hooky please.

Nov 10, 2004 Bottle conditioned, part of Great British Beers gift set from Tesco. Gold, thin white head and low condition. Gentle citrus hoppiness in the nose, quite full in the mouth with some nutty maltiness and pleasant grapefruity hops. Good lemony hop bitterness with some chalk notes lingering.
