Hook Norton Old Hooky (Bottle)

Pours a slighty cloudy dark amber, with a nice one-finger head. No lacing. Aroma is fruity (raisins, cherry), with a touch of nut. Flavor is simlar (fruit and nut) with a touch of caramel, and suprisingly a slight alcohol warmth. Very well balanced beer. Palate is a bit thin and watery with a slightly dry finish. Overall I found this to be a very drinkable brew. I certainly wasn’t expecting to like it nearly as much as I did.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was tangy, fruity and nutty. The flavor was tart, tangy and had a fairly strong fruity hop presence and undertones of nut. The finish was long, tangy and fruity. Solid.

Bottle, Thrrshers, Aughton. Thought he played bass for New Order?? This was deeply average and dull and not worth dwelling on really.

Bottled(500ml). -Clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, caramel nose. Moderate malty, fruity and light herbal with nutty and almond notes. Also touch of toffee. Quite dry finish.
