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.

500ml bottle from Waitrose, Towcester. Amber with a rapidly fading loose white head; clean lemony hop aroma; light citrus flavours with over-boiled malts; and a pleasant hoppy finish.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Pale golden with a medium white head. Fine aroma of citrus and flowers. Flavor is mild malty with refreshing citric hops. A bit thin body, but quite a thirst-quencher.

Pours a hazy gold into an English pint. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Marshmallow and yeast aromas. Upfront lively and slick tangerine with a lasting astringent hop finish.

kinda of off flavor, the taste seems like an unpleasant bitter that doesn’t work too well.

[Green bottle says "Hooky Gold"] Pours cloudy dark golden with a large frothy creamy white head. Sour wet bread aroma with a slight hop bite. Very sweet first taste, a little bit funky, actually quite funky, some butterscotch and definite noble hops. Some yeasty sourness. Not as complete focused as their other brews. Same great hooky body, except it doesn’t fit this beer like the others. Slightly creamy and very mellow soft carbonation.
