Heftily hopped & aroma packed, Hobgoblin IPA stays true to its ancestral traditions. Brewed with Fuggles, Golding & Styrian hops and then amped up by the addition of some mighty American hops. This collision of Old and New World hops provide an explosion of tropical aroma and a juicy bitterness. Born out of character.

This is good it's got a hoppy aroma and flavour and nicely balanced bitterness

Fairly malty, orange hops not much tropical fruit and maybe not to much of an IPA. Pleasant enough though.

Servida en vaso shaker, color ámbar dorado, transparente, espuma blanca, jabonosa, de buena persistencia. Aroma a malta, algo de caramelo, lúpulo herbal y un puntito metálico. En boca es ligera, con fondo de malta ligeramente dulce, un toque de caramelo, y un lúpulo discretamente amargo por encima con final algo cítrico. Perfil de IPA industrial donde los haya, se bebe fácil de narices, es agradable.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Waitrose. Pours clear honey-gold, lightly effervescent, with a fluffy, white head. Light-medium sweet with some orange peel, pine needles, sun-kissed malts. Medium bodied with average carbonation. OK balance to finish, more citrus fruits, some bread, faint dough, bitter peel, grass. Drinkable.

Bottled. Orangeish golden colour, mediumsized white head Aroma is floral, fruity, some spruce and mild wooden and honey tones. Flavour is quite much the same elements as the aroma with the wood being a bit more evident.

Keg at Chippenham Park Bowls Club. Deep gold with a white head. Sweet lemon up front with a touch of apricot. Nice florals develop before green leaves come in at the end. Quite pleasant; better than I expected from Wychwood.

Some horrible pub opposite the bus station in Portsmouth. Aroma is malty and caramel. Clear chestnut. Foamy white head. Medium bitter. Grainy with a light sour berry edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Dry..that's about it.

Updated rate - on tap in Stirling, Highland Gate - better than bottle. More texture to it, a bit tastier, along the lines of a decent version of a Greene King IPA.

Can - which they delightfully call cask strength. Amber with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit marmalade, light bread. Lightish bodied and dryish with slightly crusty bread and mainly citrusy hops. Not sure there's any explosion of tropical aromas or anything juicy but it's a good beer.
