Hook Norton Hooky Bitter (Bottle)

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

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear light to medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, cookie), lightly to moderately hoppy (apricot, orange), lightly yeasty (dough, sweat). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Kinda lame yeast strain (stinky feet-ish). Watery, thin, simple. Eh.

0.5l - Golden liquid, mild rush of small bubbles, no real head, sweet and woody nose, limp palate, nothing that interesting about it, mild hops at end. Tiring.

Light copper body with a slightly off white khaki head. The aroma was like fresh oranges and pecans. There is a strong malty backbone here. A dry mouthfeel is complemented with some bitter orange peels and apple core. There is a nice slight almond shell finish. Softly carbonated, this is nicely made for a session brew.

ill go completely out on a limb on this one this id an absolutly great session beer not to hoppy not to malty great balance much bettter flavor than any american session beer give it a try very good

(50cl bottle) Crystal clear light amber body topped by medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, orange/floral, some bread, light peach. Taste is medium sweet, floral/earthy, some biscuit/bread, light orange. Watery light body, light acidity, quite drinkable. A reasonable session beer.

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse, 500 ml bottle. Medium copper colored pour with a thin but persistent white head. Fresh lake water aroma, hints of grain, not very pronounced. Decent subtle bitterness with some muted fruity notes. Peaches, nectarines come to mind. Hints of muted spices as well. Slightly stinging mouthfeel. At 3.6 abv - would make a good lunchtime companion or a session bitter.

Taste like piss but could be because my friend had my try it after a tommyknockers imperial nut brown

Well balance bitter, hops were crisp with a citrus and lightly earthy quality. Fruity malt flavors soft doughy sweetness. Pours clear golden color with a soft white head. Well balanced and sessionable.
