Hook Norton welcomes spring with latest seasonal beer - First Light

Hook Norton welcomes the longer, lighter days with the release of its latest seasonal beer First Light, which will be available throughout March.

Hook Norton’s First Light, at 4.3 per cent ABV, is a very pale, light brew with a complex hop aroma and is ideal to drink on its own as a thirst quenching drink or as an accompaniment to food.

Hook Norton Managing Director James Clarke said: “First Light’s continental type palate is from the high proportion of malted wheat used to make the beer, which is used in addition to malted barley. “A salute to the approaching longer, warmer days, First Light is a pale, light brew with a complex aroma.

The malted barley and malted wheat give it an exotic palate. The finest Styrian hops are added, which gives a fruity nose, with hints of watermelon and lychees.”
