Wychwood Hobgoblin Gold (Bottle)
Pleasant. Ok, so one has to accept it's now a Marston's brew and they are merrily closing the historic brewery, but it's decent. Golden, refreshing, a little hoppy and easy to drink. At the right price point it could be worth bagging some. Better than average in all respects. Judged as a Golden Ale (e.g. not a Bitter or Pale or IPA) then it's close to exactly what you want. Happy days!

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Clear golden, lively fizzy head. Faint aroma of passionfruit. Sweet with light body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Metal and passionfruit. Sharp finish. Sterile and thin. Pretty typical macro stuff.

Bottle - black, good sized solid beige head. Coffee, bit berry aroma. Good mouthfeel. Bit sweet tasting, not getting full stout flavour. OK but not best.

Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (Keg and Bottle)
Bottle from Co-Op, Whitstable. Poured a clear golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is caramel malt, light woody hops. The flavour is over-moderate bitter, with a smooth, fresh, earthy, light citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Draught Version Got this one at Hobgoblin Roppongi and this one worth to walking to this place This one is very clean body, feeling some of smooth, nice balance, light sweet, some of lacing, nothing harsh or weird. Tasting lead from malty taste such as caramel, some of bread then straightforward to hops such as floral, some of citrus, a little bit of floral, spice then nearly dry finished. Wow very good one.

500ml bottle (Tesco, Amersham) (6:4:6:3:13=3.2) Deep amber, small loose head. Rich sweet caramelly aroma. Sweet resiny and estery taste, malty and caramelly. Medium palate. Nice long resiny and fruity bitter finish. The alcohol's decently covered, it doesn't come over as a strong beer at all.

Can. Clear gold with small white head. Light malty caramel, biscuit with a hint of citrus and grassy hop. Taste has a light biscuit watery malt with apricot and grassy bitter hops - but pretty stale tasting in truth. Not great.

23/2/2023. Draught at The Arbor House, Ipswich. Poured close to black with a ruby brown tint and a long lasting creamy beige head, into a nifty new theoretically undroppable Hobgoblin branded glass. Aroma is mild roasted malt, chocolate, light coffee, cocoa, dark fruits. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, smooth, a little watery, light carbonation. Quite likeable.

Rocky off white head left a froth on a still dull amber coloured body. Caramel, butterscotch & stone fruit aroma. Medium to thin bodied, lifeless & clean. Stone fruit, caramel, grain & tangy tastes. Very poor.

Bottle from Home Bargains – drank at home. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized frothy off-white head and some lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some general hoppiness. In the mouth briefly sweet and juicy initially, but bitterness of traditional hops quickly comes through to dominate. Some grains, herbs and malts in the flavour too. Finish is pretty dry and quite bitter. This is OK, but a bit nondescript.

Aroma : A bit herby like a Stinging Nettle beer I once had or even cannabis! with a little lime citrus. Taste : Thin body, watery texture. Moderate hoppy bitterness throughout. Flavour has a little note of caramel malt along with the hint of lime citrus & herbage. Not great
