I like the bottle it comes in, other then that I can’t give it too much of a compliment. A rather foul beer overall, especially taste wise.

Bottle. Pours a coppery red in color, with a very effervescent head. Slightly bitter with a good deal of fruity sweetness. Good stuff.

Ruby red, medium head, little visible carbonation, it has a hoppy-malty aroma with a bitter-chocolate-fruit flavour and a short finish, nice enough, nothing to rave about

Smooth, malty flavor with a nice, bitter bite. Beautiful head that sticks around.

Bottle. Ruby color with a big cream colored head. Grassy/toffee malt aroma. Grassy flavor with toffee and toasted malt ending with lingering citrus. Medium body.

Pretty good. Lacking in complexity. Malty and caramel tasting. Slight hoppiness. The taste was a little too weak and watered down.

Rated 11/5/06: Had to grab a Hobgoblin for Halloween, although I sampled this a week later. Light floral hop aroma with some sweet malt, rather faint but enjoyable. Amber pour with a medium white head and nice lacing. Medium bodied ale not very filling. Taste is subtle for being a "strong Ale", although I’m finding that many English styles generally are tame. Caramel with a light fruitiness backed by those nice floral hops. Again this ale seems typical with the English way, lightly hearty. A decent one but nothing shocking.
