Wychwood Hobgoblin Reviews

I'm quite partial to a pint of ale once in a while, and I thought today I'd share a few words with you on the subject of a cheeky little number called Hobgoblin, brewed by the Wychwood Brewery in Witney, Oxfordshire. I've sampled this beer on a fair few occasions in the past: at beer festivals, on draught in pubs (when I've been lucky ...  Read the complete review

Wychwood may just be one of the most appealing breweries in England. Not only are their creations fantastic, but they also entwine it with interesting artwork and names. Hobgoblin is probably the most well known of the wychwood beers, and for good reason. This ruby rascal is a dark ale of curious flavour. Hints of fruit are only ...  Read the complete review

I've been drinking hobgoblin for just under 5 years now. I have had it from draught, bottle and can. Draught is by far superior, followed by the bottle and then the canned. Bottled and canned hobgoblin is 5.2%, whereas draught is 4.5% (it was 5% previously, but it was changed to 4.5% as apparently it sells better). At my ...  Read the complete review

I buy this beer once a week. What first struck me about wychwood beers was the artwork all halloween - pagan/fairy - devilish artwork. Hobgoblin is no exception which is ruby in colour. and full bodied. It tastes bitter but seems to have blackcurrent in the background.

Today I am sampling Hobgoblin and, although I have tried it both bottled and on draught, I will be reviewing the draught version. ~~~~THE ...  Read the complete review

This was me on Saturday afternoon. I eventually went for Hobgoblin strong dark ale from the Wyhwood brewery I had to buy it for three reasons. The first was the ...  Read the complete review

What were you doing back in 1983? Anything interesting? Well, one chap in deepest, darkest Witney (somewhere in Oxfordshire I believe) was doing something very important indeed. He was setting up a one man brewing enterprise and producing eight barrels a week of his homebrew, then selling it to nearby residents. Why was this important you ask? ...  Read the complete review

Maybe it was the lable. Maybe it was cause i was drunk Maybe it was the gods. Whatever it was that caused me to try this beer a couple of years ago, they served me a great purpose because this is perhaps the best real ale you can buy at the shops. The taste of this beer is very subtly, but it is also very strong. ...  Read the complete review

This is one for all those dark winter nights, especially if the moon is full and bright and your neighbours start howling at 2am! A beer called Hobgoblin. From a brewery called Wychwood. And if that doesn?t disturb you, then you ought to see the gruesomely depicted hobgoblin on the label of the bottle ? a highly collectible label for sure. ...  Read the complete review
