Cask ABV: 4.6%
An award-winning golden bitter from an all malt brew, with Styrian Golding hops added at various stages, to give a classic hop flavour and aroma.
A bitter beer of great character, appealing to those drinkers who really appreciate their beer and are looking for quality.
Launched in 1995 as ‘September Ale’, Jennings Cocker Hoop has become hugely popular, particularly with Lake District tourists in summer
The name is derived from ‘Cock-a Hoop’, an old custom of removing the cock (or spigot) from a barrel and resting it on the hoop of the cask before commencing a drinking bout, but was changed to reflect the brewery’s location on the banks of the River Cocker.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - hazy golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - lemon and meadow flowers. Taste - lemon barley water this time. Lemon or grapefruit pith bringing up the end. Palate - creamy and tangy. Light bodied and clean finish. Overall - much better than the bottled version.

Und noch ein Bier aus der Golden Ale-Box von Hofer. Dieses Bier halte ich für ok, aber etwas besonderes ist es nicht. Es ist recht bitter und auch mir zu sprudelig für ein Golden Ale. Der Name wird auf dem Etikett erklärt: Das Wort "Cook-a-hoop" hat im lokalen Dialekt 2 Bedeutungen: 1. "very high spirits" und 2. "boastful", was soviel wie "prahlerisch" heißt und gut zu dem eitlen Gockel passt, der die Vorderseite der Flasche ziert.

Golden beer, small head. Aroma is malt, some hops and fruit. Taste is the same, bitter with some sweetness, not bad.

Cask at Oddfellows. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has notes of wet pine and grass with earthy grains backing. Flavor has earthy pine and grass supported by earthy grains.
