Commercial Description:
Bottled.
A premium pale ale with distinctive fruity taste. The beer is light in colour, and has a refreshing clean flavour, which belies its strength.

50cl bottle. Amber with a thick off-white head; hoppy aroma; the flavour is full, with lots of chewy malt and some caramel sweetness; short and deep bitter finish with warmth from the alcohol, but leaving a chemical aftertaste. Not a great beer.

Evesham England. Bottle from brewery. Amber pour with a fine head. Maltly with light hops and nothing much going on really. One of the less inspiring beers from Hook.
