Nice dark amber pour with white head and nice lacing. Malty aroma with that touch of sourness that indicates an English bitter. Refreshing with my Saturday lunch, a good sandwish after a hard workout. Bit pricey at $4 a bottle, but good. I won’t turn one down if offered!

Pours deep red-auburn with a fluffy tan head. Crystal clear for its color, this brew entices with a malty spicy nose. the flavor does not dissapoint. Medium bodied with a full flavor profile that belies its sprightly step. Lots of brown sugar aroma and flavor, hops are straight up the middle and well balanced.

Dark color-brownish red. Aroma same as pale ale. Good flavor but I can’t taste the roastiness. Little of a coppery finish. Dissapointing hop finish. I LOVE the bottle. Wish it was conducive to reuse with homebrew.

500 ml bottle. Dark brown with reddish hue. Tall light beige head that clings to the glass. Nutty rich münchener malt aroma. Earthy hops. Smooth texture. Fine carbonation. Powdery malt flavours. Slightly roasted and sweet. Almost vinous. Reminds me a little of the character one finds in Old Peculier. Nice and very drinkable.

Just tried a bottle of this last night, and it looks like the RateBeer folks aren’t very big fans of any of Wychwood’s offerings. I certainly didn’t think this beer was anything to write home about, but it really wasn’t as bad as everyone has made it out to be. Hobgoblin’s characteristics reminded me a lot of Newcastle with less acidity. Burnt copper coloring throughout with little to no head, and a strong nose. Pleasant palate that wears thin after a few seconds. Decent hop/malt balance. Better than average stuff unless there’s some bad bottles floating around.

Tawny brown body and small beige head. Nose of sour berries and a hint of chocolate. Fruity malt and wood flavors, mellow cinnamon spiciness, and some nice mild bitterness. Medium body. Enjoyable to drink.

I was wondering why this brew was flying off the shelf at the local Lick’er Bored; its actually quite a nice English Ale. Pours a reddish amber colour. Has a sweet and fruity flavour with a bitter finish...

Thin head of fine bubbles that recedes pretty quickly. Strange aroma of Thanksgiving stuffing, spices, roasted malts and some celery. Very unusual!. Color is a bright crimson brown. Nice color. Light bodied with some light malts, spices and a decent bitterness that dries out the tongue. Very crisp and mellow brew. Easy drinking with a good balance. Finishes with some strange "poultry seasoning" flavor. A better than expected brew.
