Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.5 º

Hook Norton Brewery

Representing the quintessential English session experience, Hook Norton Hooky is an Ordinary Bitter displaying a subtle balance of traditional hop character and soft malt sweetness. A delicate floral and earthy hop aroma greets the nose, underpinned by a light caramel and biscuity Maris Otter malt profile. On the palate, a gentle, clean bitterness cuts through the bready malt core, balanced by faint fruity esters from the house yeast. Refreshing and exceptionally drinkable, this amber-hued classic delivers a dry, crisp finish with a lingering touch of herbal hops, defining the very essence of a traditional pub session ale.

Appearance. Pale amber to light copper in color. Brilliant clarity with a low, creamy, off-white head that leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate hop aroma featuring herbal, floral, and earthy notes. Low to moderate malt aroma with a distinct bready, biscuity, and light caramel sweetness. Faint, clean fruity esters are present, with no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression is a balance of bready, toasty malt and earthy hop flavor. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm, refreshing structure. Low caramel undertones are balanced by a dry and clean finish, leaving a lingering, pleasant herbal hop bitterness and subtle orchard fruit esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with low carbonation, offering a smooth and soft cask-like texture. No alcohol warmth, highly sessionable and non-astringent.
