Commercial Description:
Bottled. Pasteurised.
A well balanced and full bodied beer demonstrating fruitiness, with the Crystal Malt content being distinctive. The hoppy mouth gives way to a sweeter finish.

Bottle. Amber with an off-white head. Aromas are sweet and fruity with bready yeast and hints of toffee with nice floral hops. Flavours are sweet toffee and caramel malts, some berry fruit followed by an addictive but not pronounced hopping. Good for a pasteurised bottled beer.

I like most things about Old Hooky, including the label, the name and the delightful corner of England where it’s made. Hook Norton is a great beer place to visit. The colour is attractive, as is the white head. Excellent balance between the initial sweet, caramel flavour and the solid bitter finish.

Bottled, Pasteuised. Deep amber with short white head. Fruity, slightly aweet flavour, plummy aroma. Some bitterness on the front of the tongue, but mostly rich malty. Thinner than the cask wher the beer develops further.

Bottled. Dark amber colour with medium white head. Aroma of mixed berries and a bit fruity. Taste is sweet fruity at first with bitter tone in the finish. Nice bitterness in aftertaste.

Deep amber/copperish colour, slightly fruity beer that leaves bitterness through aftertaste. A little fizzy.

Candylike nose, crystal clear amber color, foamy tan head that sticks to the glass. Thin light quick malt, more on the sweetish side with some honey and caramel. Nice and dainty hop bitter. Decent balance, though overall not so thrilling. Enjoyable.
