New 'flavour-packed' beer launched by Hook Norton Brewery
A new beer offering "bright citrus and tropical hop notes" has been launched by an Oxfordshire brewery.
Hook Norton Brewery, one of the UK's oldest independent family breweries, has announced the launch of Sundial IPA.
Based in Hook Norton, the brewery produces a range of "Hooky" beers and owns more than 30 pubs in and around the county.
It said its newest beer is "vibrant, refreshing, and full of flavour," with "bright citrus and tropical hop notes" and a "crisp, clean finish".
Managing director James Clarke said: "Sundial marks another chapter for Hook Norton.
"Whilst cask ale is and will always remain our core, brewing these lighter, flavour-packed beers and creating something that bridges our rich brewing tradition with today's tastes is exciting."
The drink is described by the brewery as a "pale, golden beer with light grapefruit notes and lemon zest".
It is made using a blend of Admiral, Motueka, and Mosaic hops, and is dry-hopped with Amarillo and Citra.
The brewery said it is perfect for "long afternoons in the sun" or a "post-work pint at the local".
Sundial IPA will be available in 30L and 50L kegs, with plans to roll out in cans later this year.
It will be available at the brewery's bars and in Hook Norton pubs across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire.
