Hook Norton Brewery

Off The Hook is a contemporary take on the English IPA, presenting a vibrant citrus-forward profile while maintaining traditional structure. The sensory experience is led by a bright bouquet of orange and grapefruit, driven by a global hop blend of Mandarina Bavaria and Amarillo. These modern citrus notes are grounded by the earthy, spicy-peppery character of Admiral and Challenger, plus the resinous touch of UK Chinook. A simple base of Pale malts provides a clean, bready foundation that supports the assertive bitterness without adding heavy caramel weight. This sessionable ale finishes crisp and refreshing, balancing historical British brewing techniques with modern hop intensity.

Appearance. Color is golden to deep gold (approximately 6–8 SRM). It displays brilliant clarity and is topped by a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop aroma characterized by bright orange and citrus zest, with secondary notes of floral spice and subtle pine. Low bready and biscuity malt sweetness provides a supportive background. Fermentation esters are low, offering a clean profile that allows the hops to dominate.

Taste. Initial impression is of crisp citrus and orange peel. The hop flavor is medium-high, reflecting the floral and zesty aroma. Malt flavor is medium-low, presenting as fresh bread and light biscuit. Bitterness is moderate to assertive but remains smooth and integrated. The finish is medium-dry to dry with a lingering, clean hop bitterness that invites another sip.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to medium-high carbonation, providing a refreshing and prickly sensation on the tongue. Smooth texture with no hop-derived astringency and zero alcohol warmth due to the sessionable ABV.
