Thomas Hockley, first postmaster and namesake of Hockley Village and our fine craft brewery, is known for championing the first road out of town to experience the ‘finer things’ Orangeville had to offer. We present this smooth, supple, golden brew, because genteel souls – like Thomas – are said to prefer blondes.

Can from the lcbo. Clear golden pour, almost no head. Musty grains Aroma, some apples and wet paper. Thin mouth feel, low carb. Apple, and wet paper finish. Rough. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hockley Classic on 28 Feb 2025 at 05:38 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Nice golden pour, rocky, white head. Decent cereal, and grains aroma. Not much in the way of hops, maybe some light floral grass, but its thin. The mouth feel is good, but the carb is a tad too soft. the finish is a touch vegetal, but the grains come through, and some light hops. This isnt half bad, i was surprised. Was expecting another butter bomb.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a clean very light-golden colour with a fizzy head that disappears quickly, leaving no lace. Malty nose on the wet hay side with some caramel notes. Pretty mild tasting with the same characteristics found in the aromas. A little too sweet overall in the finish. Would not have another, but better than macro lagers.

This ale poured a light amber colour with a minimal, white head. Scents include corn, resin and malt. Somewhat lifeless to the nose. First sip was watery with medium carbonation. Flavours of corn and light hop with a lightly sweet aftertaste. Nothing worth noting here.
