12th April 2010. Clear gold beer. Apologetic thin head. Low carbonation. Creamy malt with some well behaved light hop. A little grapefruit marmalade. A whisper of orange. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Not too shabby!

[Gravity cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Light refreshing golden ale with citrus flavours and a decent bitterness - a good thirstquenching summer ale. Very nice, and more flavoursome than I’ve come to expect from this brewery.

Cask at The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon, 14-04-10 Pours light gold with a thin white head. This is crisp, clean, lemony, streaky lemony hops in fact, its simple, lovely and the tastiest thing from Hook Norton for some time, a wonderful hoppy beer, that outgunned the Brewdog Trashy Blond which (new cask) was a much better beer than I had on Saturday. The hoppiness in this Hooky was quite surprising but most welcome. In the same way that the Cigar City brewery lovers from Florida get called ’homers’ I’m sure that mine and Glens rating will get us viewed in a similar vein, but believe me this is a very, very good beer from Hooky, I looked at the rest on offer and had another and stood at the bar with others I wasn’t the only one to do this. It was also the best kept beer here tonight, maybe its proximity to the brewery helps, whatever I don’t really care, I liked it very much. A7 A5 F8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 8/04/10. Pale gold with a decent white head. A well-balanced bitter with some decent citrus hops, bready malts, a touch of minerals and long, bitter finish. Very good.

Cask handpull at Samuel Peto, JDW, Folkestone. I had this down as Early Mist. Gold, thin fizzy white head. It’s an ok golden ale, bit of stale malt on the finish I thought at first, but then as I drank my third of a pint it became really quite decent with some light tropical flavours and some bitterness on the finish. I gave it to a non beer drinking friend and they liked it too.
