Hooky is a subtly balanced, amber bitter, hoppy to the nose, malty on the palate - the classic session beer, eminently drinkable. Cheers!

Cask at Swan and Castle, Oxford Pours a golden amber with a sparse off-white head and good lacing. A palcid nose with vjust some hints of fruits. In the mouth it has a sweet and fruity taste – almost like a dry cider. Initially marmalade is to the for, but other flavours come through later, Ornages, honey, ginger, with hints of pears and spices. Finish is dry and fruity. A simple beer with a complex taste – interesting !

Cask (Red Lion, Overton) - Golden/light amber in colour. Fruity and slightly floral aroma. The taste is also fruity and floral and features notes of marmalade and sultanas. Quite nice for being so simplistic.

12/7/2019. Bottle from Cotswold Vintners, Chipping Sodbury. Pours pale amber with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, hops, fruit and light brown sugar. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, watery and slightly oily texture, soft carbonation. Disappointing.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - grass, lemon and chewy toffee. Taste - more toffee, sweet bread (maybe rye bread). Palate - light bodied and creamy. Rich but dry finish. Overall - decent.
