The Haymaker Ale, a strong pale ale, is known for its use of the British hop, Goldings, which gives it a smooth and light fruit taste.

Hook Norton Brewery describes the ale as having a dark bronze appearance, with a fruity and hoppy smell, and a rich, sweet, fruity taste.

The ale has an alcohol content of 5 per cent.

Hook Norton Brewery is encouraging ale lovers to join in the celebration, promising award-winning hospitality and good company.
