Hook Norton welcomes the longer days with First Light

Hook Norton welcomes the longer, lighter days with its latest seasonal beer First Light which is on sale in many of its tenanted and free trade pubs throughout March and April.
First Light, at 4.3 per cent ABV, is a 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 anticipating, heady days alfresco. 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.”
