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. Small white fizzy head that mostly diminshed, transparent pale yellow body, fair amount of lacing, and fast rising carbonatioon. The aroma consisted of bitter hops, fruity, spicy, and some malt notes. The flavor was sweet, lightl bitter, hoppy, fruity, spicy, and it had a refreshing aspect to it. The mouthfeel was fairly smooth and this is a medium bodied beer. Easy to drink beer and uncomplicated.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy with a frothy top white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent typically carbonated light orange colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was malty and hoppy. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin yet crisp and tingly flavor contained notes of malt and hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Plateaued, foamy head that leaves spotty, but chunky lace after each sip. Slight haze to a light gold color. Earthy malt tones to the smell, some skunk; Light hop in the background. Creamy body with a light spritz in the background. Good malt base. The swallow is a pleasant blend of pale malts and bittering hops which last a decent amount of time in the aftertaste. A good run-of-the-mill English Bitter.

(500ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours a pale yellow with good head and lacing. Nose is pale malt, and anise which follows through to the taste. Lacks some sweetness but a good palette linger with more sweetness on the back end.
