Quite an interesting Pale Ale. Low on carbonation due to the cask ale origin but quite tasty without being overly bitter. I generally like my pale ales to have a nice strong bitter aftertaste but this remains a tasty beer without that. At 5% it is quite a strong beer, otherwise it could certainly be a good session beer as it goes down quite easily with a flavour you could drink all night.

Session IPA, hard to get excited about

Not amazing

Come to the end of my Hook Norton beers and this is a damn good beer to finish with! A strong dark beer which offers a dominantly malty palate with nutty overtones, giving way to a a typical sweetness and a satisfying malty finish with a hint of rich fruit and sultanas.

A proper IPA that pours a light bronze colour, with an aroma of marmalade. The taste is rich with a fruity mouthfeel and a powerful punch of orange and Admiral hops. One of the best from Hook Norton!

A strong pale ale of distinctive taste. Plenty of Goldings hops gives it a fruity hoppiness with a touch of apple. The finish is rich and sweet with a rewarding maltiness.

A smooth stout that pours a dark ebony colour with a rich aroma of sweet chocolate, espresso coffee, herbal hops and double dark malt with a rich hoppy aftertaste. Very nice!

I had the 3.4% nun's piss version. What a disappointing session that would be if you're on this all night. Bit tasteless, slightly peppery, but most of all forgettable. Perhaps Brazil should stick to doing what they do best, coffee and deforestation.
