But, it’s not all about the malt with Hook Island Red. Kilos of West Coast hops – Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe – add flavours of resinous pine with a hint of passionfruit.

Keg at the Cock Tavern - London. Pours clear amber-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose has lots of dry brown bread, juicy pine, ripe citrus and dried berries. Medium sweet flavor with lots of rich wholegrain bread, bitter pine, some juicy and oily grass, berries, rindy citrus, general ripe fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and massaging texture. Bitter finish with lots of lightly dried, bready malts, some caramel, earth and pine, dried citrus fruits, orange rind. Good stuff. Got some teeth it does.

Sampled at the Cock Tavern. Clear amber color, small off-white head. Aroma is a bit weird, a bit plant like. Taste malts, caramel, again a bit plant like, some butter and old hops. Average body, firm carbonation.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 11 Apr 2014) Reddish amber colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with red fruit, caramel, toast and rye bread. Malty, fruity taste with notes of red fruit, rye bread, caramel and a sharp resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Possibly not perfectly balanced, but very tasty. Nice one.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Deep copper-red with a small creamy slightly off-white head. Fairly strong in the palate but has an underlying sweetness most notable in the nose and somewhat smooth tasting.

33cl bottle. Bottled on 03 DEC 2013. Mahogany color, thick off-white head. Bready, nutty, dark fruity, musty hoppy aroma. Flavor has pine, red berries, hops and herbal notes. long bitter, biting finish. Like amber/red ales and this one is no exception. Nice body, high drinkability.
