Commercial Description:
Bottled; Pasteurised.
Pale, delicately fruity and refreshing. Hooky Gold is a beer which marries English tradition with American pizzazz. It is the first of our beers to use an American hop variety, Willamette, grown in Oregon, and having moderate bitterness with a spicy, noble hop aroma.

Bottle from State Line. Pours semi-hazy canary with off-white head. Nose is pale malt, honey, Saazy hops, citrus, and spicy florals. The taste is malty, with some notes of honey, hops, citrus, and a lot of spicy white peppercorny flavor. This one surprised me, and I’d buy it again any day.

Bottle. Hign and lasting fluffy white head. Clear golden body. Very weak fruity aroma. Mild and round flavor pretty sweet honey with a little hops bitterness, low carbonation and a short aftertaste. Boring.

Fresh and light. Hoppy flavour, smooth. Earth and fruity notes. Medium-low in bitterness. Bit watery. Golden color, low in carbonation, medium head. Enjoyable but bit sticky-sweet aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Dark gold ornage body with a large, lightly off white head. The aroma has some definite fresh wort and malty backbone. There is also some earthy cellar and tea. The taste has fresh bread dough and apple cores. There is also some earhty vegetable in the finish. Dry throughout and a little boring.

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a light note of butter. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Dull.
