2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20Tja, jag blir inte riktigt klok på denna ölen. Den är inte dålig även om kroppen är i minsta laget. Smaken är len med ton av friskhet och torkat gräs.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from ICA Viksjö.
Clear reddish brown with a medium slightly tan head. Aroma and taste of nuts, some light coffee, malt and toffee. Also some chocolate. Drinkable stuff.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
500 ml bottle sampled in 2008. Beautiful clear amber body with a nice beige head. Weak aroma of light roasted malt and caramel. Flavor is also pretty light, some roasted malt, caramel, some fruit and moderate bitterness. Thin body and short aftertaste. Like a watered-down version of the regular one. Decent for 3,5% abv, but boring as a beer in general.

Bottle from ICA, Ystad. Dark brown colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of bread, malt, fruit and caramel.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml Bottle - Copper/dark brown with a foamy head. Malt, bran flakes, dried fruit and nuts in the aroma. Malty and fruity taste with notes of toffee, malt and dried fruit. Pleasant and easy to drink. The regular Hobgoblin is not as good as it used to be, but this 3.5% version is surprisingly enjoyable.

Perfect with a dram of whiskey in front of the TV. One of the most wonderful beer I ever tasted. Flavour of almond and caramel with malty richness.

Ap: copper colour, creamy beige head, lacing.
F: Britain in a bottle, earthy hops, slightly perfumy, Nutty, toasty malt backbone.
M: full bodied despite lowered ABV.
T: One of the better examples of the Swedish folköl.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Copper tinged brown, off-white head. Nose is on the weak side, but I can make out malts, faint fruitiness and caramel. Taste is watery malts and some nuttiness, weak crisp bitterness in the finish. Thin palate. For the ABV, it’s decent, but overall - eh.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
50cl bottle. Pours brown with a big brown head. Smells bread malt and parfume. Tastes very bitter, slight bready malty bitter finish.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very thin and I could really only taste a bit of bitterness. Aroma is almost non-existent. Refreshing.
