Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Poors a golden colour with a white head that stays and sticks to the side of the glass. A nice hoppy smell and a pleasant enough bitter taste. The aftertaste is nice, but not brilliant. A good beer in a bottle, but I imagine the unpasturised cask version is better.

Cask at the Jolly Anglers, Reading. A pale reddish chestnut colour, with a white head; little aroma; dry and fruity in the mouth, with hints of orange, becoming seeter, and then leaving a modetrately bitter finish. Pleasant, but not outstanding.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Cloudy reddish amber,rocky head. Caramelly nose with some paper. Medium sweet, light bodied. Some wonderful chewy doughy malt laquered by vague hay-like hops. Medium bitterness. The malt carries this beer, and that is where Hook Norton excels.

Amber with off white head. Malty caramel with fruity tones. Ok body with overall moderate taste. Pleasant slight bitter end. Simple but quite drinkable!

Bottled from ASDA. Amber coloured with a hint of hoppy aroma. Flavours of fruity malt with a grassy after taste. The whole package was a bit subdued for me, which is probably due to the pasteurisation.
