Cask on gravity. One of the best pints I had last year 2005, they really don’t get much better than this, lovely amber colour, wonderful hoppy taste it’s like the summer condensed into a pint glass, difficult to savour coz’ you just cannot put it down. Thumbs up to Hooky they rarely put a foot wrong.

A deep red beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy and fruity, with some notes of nuts and wood - but a little light for my liking. The flavor is very sweet with notes of toffee, fruit, and nuts, and then turning to hard roasted malt, giving it a dry bitter end. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

A copper colored beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and very floral, combined with light notes of dust. The flavor is sweet and quite dry with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to an extremely dry bitter spicy end combined with some citrus notes from the hops.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a dense, lasting head. Lovely fresh floral aroma. Rather light with some nutty notes. Not overly bitter - the hops add mostly aroma. Very classical bitter. 060601

(Bottle 50 cl) In my version simply called "Hook Norton Bitter". Pale caramel colour with a small head. Weak malty character and ditto bitterness. But very, very quaffable. A fairly ordinary Bitter. 210301

A hazy red-orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and dust. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of toffee, but also some fruity notes of oranges and a nutty dry finish.
