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.

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.

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse; 500 ml bottle. Medium copper colored pour, off white head - long lasting, good retention. Aroma of grain with some lemony accents. Flavor has a nice subtle bitterness to it with some citrus notes and a buttery back end. Hints of spice throughout - not sure which exact one. Clean even, mouthfeel. Overall, very decent.

From the bottle pours clear gold with a small white head. Hops had a citrus twang, crisp towards the finish. The malts tasted a bit cheap, kinda had that dry straw/grainy taste, maybe a bit dusty. This really wasn’t my favorite, like a more hopped macro, each sip I was looking for something more.

Bottle from the brewery. Brilliant gold with an uneven fluffy head. Bread, honey, fresh straw and peanut aroma, overlaid with zesty hop hinting at pineapple, cut grass, pollen and lime. Full, clean and slick with orange peel and juniper-like hop, marmalade, tonic water dabs, bread and vanilla. Clean and lingering with bags of soapy citrus and floral hop. Top drawer (pasteurised) GA.

The aroma is grassy with malt and cedar. The appearance is pale gold with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s pretty good.

Orange with low carbonation. Citrus and hops combine to produce a slightly bitter and pleasant ale.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is clear, yellowish to golden in color, with a white head. The smell is malts, floral, hops, and citrus. The taste is weak, hops, floral, malts, and fruits.
