On cask at The Crystal Palace in Glasgow. Pours a golden colour with a thin, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, alcohol, barley, pine and passion fruit. Similar flavours with pine and passion fruit again. Alcohol is fairly present with a long hum. Also a nice caramel malt backbone. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Not bad.

UPDATED: OCT 7, 2011 Handpull cask Spoons. It’s too sweet. Too much unsubtle alcohol.. Lots of English hops on finish. Not great

Bottled. A golden beer with a nice white head. A good hoppy beer. A lovely lemony hoppy citrus nose. A pretty full bodied hoppy mouthfeel. Well balanced as the malts work really well. Hook Norton’s hoppiest beer I’d say.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium white head. Clear yellow body. Light floral fruity aroma with spicy notes. Dry-sweet floral strawy gooseberry taste with papery honey notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryih floral fruity aftertaste with spicy herbal notes. Nice, balanced, harmonic, and highly drinkable. (0.1l from bottle, DBF’11.)

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle (in NZ). A little suspicious of a bottle-conditioned beer this far from source. But it pours really clear with a light, but large white head. A clean malty nose, with toasted malt flavour, along with earthiness from the hops. Lost the fruitiness by the looks of it, but pretty good considering.
