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

Cask at The Gunmakers, London. Pours clear gold with a prickly, white foam head. Some mild fruits in the nose, along with hay. Light sweet flavor with hay, mild cereal and dough, faint leaves. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary sweet finish with doughy bread, very light leafy bitterness, straw and hay. Very basic. Like a cross between a bitter and a golden ale, I would say.

Cask at Oxford Pub, London. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt and toffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and elderflowers, leading to a dry elderflower finish.

Pours a slightly cloudy deep amber with a rocky white head that sticks to everything it touches. Smell is malty sweet with hints of toffee and caramel. There are some floral/earthy hops in here but every time I think I smell them they are gone to quickly. Taste is again malty bready and sweet with caramel and toffee. Some hops do come out in the flavor earthy floral cut through the malt quite nicely. There is a slight mineral element in the taste as well as a hint of butter. Medium to low level of carbonation, sweet sticky mineral mouthfeel with a medium body. This beer flew through my glass on this 98 degree day. This is an easy drinking light ale with enough flavor to keep my attention, to bad it takes a bit of work to get one of these to enjoy at home.
