Pint can, one of a four pack given to me by my neighbour. Cheers Bob! Clear ruby red. Slim dense lasting of white foam. Loooks well. Caramel. Fruity toffee, not unlike Toffo’s you got as a kid. Taste is pretty sweet with some light bitterness. Drinks fine. Decent mouthfeel really. A bit cask-y. Light stewed fruit bitter finish. Decent. Disappeared in no time.

Bottle as Hobgoblin Ruby. It pours clear ruby with a bubbly white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, dried and dark fruits, raisin, sultana, cranberry, raspberry and candy cane. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter - sweet, earthy, wood, leather, nutty, toffee, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, glace cherry, spice, malt loaf and old leather sofa with a very drying, leathery finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Pretty toothy stuff. Robust. Pretty ok.

Can at home, thanks to Michael, 26/08/24. Clear golden with a lasting just off white head. Nose is grass, herb, grains, biscuit, faint citric nip. Taste comprises dull fruit esters, perfume, toasted grains, faint orange, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Twig brewer attempting craft style ... not great.

Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano indizi di liquirizia e di caffè. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul palato arrivano note di miele, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente e agrumi.
