Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Bright, sparkling gold in colour with a thin white head; fruity and malty aroma; flavour is fruity at first and slightly tart; then developing a dry caramel taste with a touch of smoke; the finish is deep and full of traditional hoppy bitterness. An excellent astisfying and complex bitter, despite the low ABV.
