Hook Norton Hooky Bitter (Bottle)

Brewed by Hook Norton
Style: Bitter
Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England

I tasted some fruit and a little malt with a alright bitterness at the end, a little too thin for me. A nice session beer but I prefer Old Hooky

Deep golden or light amber color with a white head. Sweet light malty fruit but a little thin.

Golden color. Unsignificant aroma and flavor, just some barley grains touch (raw barley), quite bitter at the end.

This bottled brew poured a Medium sized head of fine to medium sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body was a slightly hazy carbonated light brown colored one and the aroma was a mild malt hop one with a mild bitterness to it. The mouth feel was smooth and slightly tingly. The flavor was that of malt hop mild bitter and was clean crisp and remarkably good. Overall, it is a very pleasant drinkable brew.

Bottle. This beer poured a small sized white head that was smooth and creamy and contained fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The aroma was malty, lightly hoppy and sweet. The flavor was lightly bitter at the start and finished lightly hoppy. The mouthfeel was very smooth and this was a light-medium bodied beer with fair lacing. This was a very smooth and easy drinking Bitter.

A dry bitter. This is an interesting combination of flavors. Worth giving it a shot. Not one of my fav's, but worth a try.

Frothy caramel coloured bitter with a toffee aroma and a dryly bitter flavour. Overall a good quality bitter.

Copper with a small fizzy white head that quickly diminishes. Cidery nose with caramel hints. Cidery metallic flavor with some cloying sweetness, diacetyl, and a touch of bitterness. I'm going to have to go back to England with my more mature beer palate and see if bitter just doesn't travel well, or if it's really as boring as this.
