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. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is very dry and fruity caramel hopped, and the flavour is nicely biiter and fruity. Overall a good beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, golden with a small, white head. Lightly citrusy, hoppy aroma. Fairly light body with a discreet malt sweetness but otherwise dominated by fresh, citric hop notes leaving a light bitterness. 281006

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Clear, pale golden with a small white head. Lemony, hoppy aroma. The flavor is quite hoppy and fruty as well. MEdium body. A nice quaffable beer but a bit on the hoppy side to me, meaning it lacks a bit of balance. (061028)
