Ungstrup (14758), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 8, 2003 An amber beer with a bubbly and disappearing head. The aroma is slightly hoppy. The flavor is malty, somewhat flowery. It ends on a dry woodyness and a bitterness, that lingers. It is very drinkable, but not special in any way. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 23, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) In my version simply called "Hook Norton Bitter". Pale caramel colour with a small head. Weak malty character and ditto bitterness. But very, very quaffable. A fairly ordinary Bitter. 210301 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Apr 9, 2007 Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Cloudy reddish amber,rocky head. Caramelly nose with some paper. Medium sweet, light bodied. Some wonderful chewy doughy malt laquered by vague hay-like hops. Medium bitterness. The malt carries this beer, and that is where Hook Norton excels. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Sep 19, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Mild fruity hops aroma with a mild spice note. Flavour is medium dry and slight breadish with a light bitterness showing through. Smooth and dry finish. Nice one. oh6gdx (8802), Vasa, Finland Jul 11, 2009 Bottled. Deep golden colour with mediumsized foamy white head. Aroma is nectar, mild honey, some wood and grass along with herbal notes. Flavour is wooden, flowery hoppy, some grass as well as some mild nutty notes as well. Easy to drink and quite pleasant for being only 3.6%. MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Sep 21, 2008 Bottle at EBF08. OK spicy hop aroma and flavour. Clear copper colour. Nice hops. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy May 3, 2004 Golden color. Unsignificant aroma and flavor, just some barley grains touch (raw barley), quite bitter at the end. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jun 6, 2008 (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.
