May 26, 2007 Pretty good. Lacking in complexity. Malty and caramel tasting. Slight hoppiness. The taste was a little too weak and watered down.

May 25, 2007 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.

May 24, 2007 Deep reddish brown, clear and lovely. Thin active off white head with ringy lacing. Subtle smell of hops, barley, oak. Smells dry. Flavor is sweet yet not cloying with a savory full finish. Delicious. Creamy with a full body.

May 23, 2007 Updated: May 30, 2007500ml bottle, $3.59. Aroma is of sweet malts with white wine notes. Average sized off-white, mostly diminishing head gave average lacing. Dark red/brown, clear, body. Flavor is weak, burnt malts and bitterness on the short finish. Palate is watery and light bodied. Aroma is not bad and flavor was ok but this beer is WAY overpriced!! Maybe $3.59 for a six pack but not for this. The first time I’ve ever included value in my overall rating but this pissed me off. This beer in on par with Bass ale for crying out loud. Usually I put in the price for others and my own shopping reference.

May 19, 2007 Pours what appears to be a dark brown color but is really a deep deep red when you hold it up to light, with a small light brown head that lasts for a while. Aroma is almost non-existant, but slightly of hops. Flavor is bitter, but rather malty, and slightly fruity. Mid to low carbonation leaning to the low side.
