Light, refreshing and beautifully balanced, Two Hoots is a golden ale savoured and favoured by the wise. At 4.2% ABV, it’s an easy-drinking beer suitable for a session in the pub or evening relaxer surrounded by home comforts.

Two Hoots is brewed with pale ale and lager malts with a generous helping of cascade whole hops, a favourite of the craft breweries in the US. The result sweeps you in to an invigorating, bright ale with a citrusy aroma and delicate fruit characteristics. Smooth on the palate, this ale won’t be ruffling any feathers.

A great golden beer that brings great wisdom all year round.

Rocky white head on a clear dark golden coloured body. Bitter & malt aroma - smells like a 70s Bitter. Medium bodied, sharp & dry. Malt, caramel & berry tastes with a bitter finish. Tastes like 70s Bitter.

Cask at Wellington, Stockport (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts and oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture, but with some underlying sweetness. Traditional hops are quite prominent, alongside corn and grass plus a hint of citrus. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. It’s OK, but quite forgettable.

500ml clear bottle from Morrisons. Gold pour small white head but no retention after a while. Slightly skunky aroma with bready malts, grapefruit, herbs. Taste is horribly skunked and unpleasant, but in the background there is biscuit malts, light fruits. Light to moderate body, carbonation is fine. Very poor.

Many thanks to Nathalie for providing the bottle! Pours clear dark golden with a thin, foamy, white head. Weak aroma of plain malt, honey, dish washer, white bread. Taste has sweet malty honey & bread, a bit grainy, bit herbal; yeasty, grainy finish. Light to medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Nothing really happening here.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours golden yellow, quite translucent with a big white head. Quite fizzy in the mouth, with a bit of carbonation. Smells quite like a shandy, quite citrus hoppy, bit of grass too. Some slight creaminess. Taste is quite straightforward, but is refreshing. Quite a crisp finish. Not bad.

Bottle at my parents, from one of the German discount supermarkets. Malty aroma. Medium gold. Visibly bubbly plus bubbly white head. Some bitterness but It's all about the malts. Not getting so much of the promised fruit. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Drinkable but nothing to see here.
