Hook Norton, Old Hooky Premium Ale (England) 
This beer pours a lovely medium ruby colour with a rather short-lived head. It has a very distinctive, spicy nose with hints of clove and cinnamon and a lovely cherry fruit character. On the palate this creamy-textured beer has an immediate sweetness that is rounded and fruity, with a nicely-judged crystal malt character and a fine twist of hoppy bitterness. It stays quite sweet in the mouth, making it easy to drink, but a very nicely balanced beer. 4.6% ABV, 50cl, �1.75, Booth's, Sainsbury's, Tesco, quite widely available. |  |
