Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Ingredients: Pale, chocolate and crystal malts; English Fuggles and Styrian Goldings hops.
Hobgoblin is a powerful full-bodied copper red, well-balanced brew. Strong in roasted malt with a moderate hoppy bitterness and slight fruity character that lasts through to the end.

On tap at the English Pub in Naples, FL. Dark amber color with a tiny off-white head. Fruity aroma. Flavors include wheat, subtle piney hops, subtle berries, mostly malts, and a coppery aftertaste. Medium body and low carbonation. Very smooth and easy to drink. Not complex, but a good session beer.

Aroma is malty and fruity. Pours a rich ruddy brown-colour. Very crisp at the front but malty at the back of the mouth with a deep satisfying aftertaste that grows gradually more bitter. Toasted and caramel flavours abound. Not over-hopped, and with a solid body and balanced carbonation. Well worth the £1.33 - but I would agree that $5 would be steep indeed..

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark, red-brown body topped with a small head of off-white foam. Aroma is musty, slightly dirt-like, nothing to write home about. This is sligtly watery, bitter and sweet. Palate has a roasted sweet maltiness and is alright. Overall this is a well-balanced brew that is easily drinkable, with a hint of roated bitter aftertaste. Not bad, but not worth the $5 for the pint bottle I purchased.

This beer pours a ruddy shade of brown with a fleeting, diminutive head. It’s a bit malty for me, but not overboard. Kind of a roasty flavor that goes okay with its maltiness, but that’s the only particular about this one. It’s decent, but not outstanding.
