A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation along with a few specks of particles floating in suspension. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving some lacing on the surface and a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of bready hops and fruity esters are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of fruity esters along with notes of bready and biscuit malts. Hints of malty sweetness are perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The fruity ester aromas and flavors in this beer seem to be "off" for the style and something you would expect to find in an English Pale Ale.
Serving type: bottle

Won't bother with all the fancy beer snob adjectives. Simply put, Hooker Munich-Style Lager, on tap at a bar in Blueback Square, West Hartford, is the best tasting beer I have ever experienced. I have had it out of the bottle as well and while it was still very good, I was a little dissapointed by it compared to the on tap ones I had.
