I acquired this beer in a pint size and I was quite surprised at how good it really was. At first, I smelled the aroma and it didn’t seem too appealing. I then poured it into my Oktoberfest beerstein for a glimpse of the attractive dark reddish brown color. The flavor is extremely enjoyable and contains primarily malt, caramel, and a slight hint of hops. Overall a damn good beer!

This is a top beer for the "Can find it in most places worth looking" category. This is a sure pleaser for the type who thinks Newcastle is a good beer. The pint size will go further and the nutty brown foundation is strong enough to get you there. Only had this one in the bottle. Colder=Better.

Disagree with ratebeer in the classification as this is a red ale not a bitter. Agree with other reviewers who note the fruity presence but slight hop bitterness. This is a well made and an excellent session beer.

A malt and carmel affair. A nice change from the heavy hoppes brews being shoved onto the public at the moment though. Also, you can tell people you are having ’a touch of the old hobgoblin tonight’ which is well worth the price of admission.

To me, this looks like, and has the mouthfeel of Coke or Pepsi. The flavour isn’t bad, with some caramel and bready malt. Not really my sort of thing at all.

Has a dark red color, with lights ruby color. The aroma is toasted, malty. The flavor is quite good, is strong the flavor to toffe of Malt. Has one slight bitterness, but the fruits predominate, until the end. She is light, with very little body. Balanced beer, that drinks well.

It poured a deep brown/red color with a tall, thick, creamy head. The head left a light lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was subtle. Hints of chocolate and hops. The taste was slightly metallic and slightly bitter. I thought the beer was a little thin in consistancy. The bitterness was mild and lasted throughout the glass and on the palate for awhile

50 cL can. Pours deep brown with an orange/amber hue and a dense tan head. Light roasted malt, mild berry fruity and light acidic aroma. Flavour is watery malty and somewhat strange and almost vegetable like. Light roasted note in the finish. Far finish holds a solid bitterness and a light berry fruity note.
