Hook Norton Old Hooky (Bottle)

Bottle (in NZ), a clear amber with a creamy white head. A standard ESB earthy malt aroma, only hints of caramal and fruit. More roasted malt character on the palate, nutty, with quite a bit of caramal sweetness. Moderate bitterness in the finish

"Bomber" from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Nice amber color with a multifinger beige head. Aromas of lightly roasted caramel and fruity/floral hop. Medium+ body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel and fruit - a bit tart like green apple. Somewhat nutty. Finishes quite dry. Leaves a spicy feeling on the tongue. Gotta love it.

500 ml. Clear copper with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam and Jack Frost all over the glass. Typical earthy-spiced caramel apple aroma. Initial flavor follows the aroma with slightly more apple and some oak. Finish turns to a pleasantly bitter toasted pecan nut and oak wood. Light-medium body is smooth and soft, with some hop tingle and a nice dry finish.

fairly flavoursome, malty bitter that is smooth, well-balanced and very drinkable without being anything special.

Not a great looking beer, amber, the beige head immediately dissapates. Lightly fruity crystal malt nose.Sweet start, light hop mid, lasting but mild hop end. Good malt backbone
