Spoons Fest! Slightly hazy brown beer, small cream coloured head. Light semi dry palate. Mild tangy orange with a little tea. Even malt provides some balance. Lesser flavours of minerals, toffee and tangerine. Light and with a bright fruit edge this beer is nontheless a bit dissapointing lacking the complexity of even a normal Goblin!

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Golden amber with a thin dense white head; aroma of apricot; heavy syrupy texture but with a relatively light grainy malt flavour and some fruit; then gently bitter and deceptively drinkable with no sign of the alcohol. I was expecting more of a bruiser in the style of Hobgoblin, but this was much more refined.
