Hook Norton Old Hooky (Bottle)

Appealing, reddish-brown color with an off-white head. Fruity aroma -- maybe rasberry? The taste is a nice mixture of hops and juicy malts, with more fruity notes. A very nice bitter.

gives an impression of being very classy and good quality ale. beautiful colour. nicely hoppy but a bit flat.

Old Hooky has a deep amber, almost copper colour. The aroma is sweet fruit which dominates the flavour although there is a nice hop quality to the finish.

16.9oz bottle-An amber body with a nice small head and an aroma of caramel and toffee. Taste of the same with a little bitterness and hops. A nice tasting bitter.

Bottle at home. This is a bitter beer with a lot of different flavors. A very English bitter. Watery and a bit fruity.

0.5 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Honey, biscuity malt, fruity esters, fruity and resiny hops, marmelade, orange and nuts in the aroma. Sweetish, perfumed, honeyish, biscuity flavor with notes of fruity hops. Bitterness is most notable in the finish. Easy and harmless.

Bottle. This is a dark, hazy amber beer with a thick and firm beige head. Its aromas are quite dusty with sweet caramel and butterscotch. Unfortunately these aromas do not translate into flavours. They are predominantly grassy and resinous instead. Quite thick on the palate and an average bitter finish ends the beer. I was somewhat disappointed with this one.

The color is extremely beautiful like liquid red amber. The head is moderate but gives nice lacing. The aroma is hoppy and malty with notes of caramel. The mouthfeel is smooth and the flavour has complexity with notes of sweetness, fruit, caramel and licorice-soft roasted malt. The finish is moderate but sufficiently bitter. It’s a very well balanced beer, and with it’s low ABV it has a fantastic full body. Well done!
