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.

(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.

White head on a golden body. A good lager, rather hoppy, which is good. A pleasant experience.

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.

Dark gold ornage body with a large, lightly off white head. The aroma has some definite fresh wort and malty backbone. There is also some earthy cellar and tea. The taste has fresh bread dough and apple cores. There is also some earhty vegetable in the finish. Dry throughout and a little boring.
