They say that anticipation of anything is almost as good as the real thing and certainly, I had been looking forward to finding another beer from Wychwood.I had really enjoyed the Hobgoblin from the same brewery so when I spotted this I immediately put it in my shopping basket.
This has a milder flavour than the Hobgoblin and is almost as good. It has a fruity taste, apple & pear maybe, with a good flavour of hops. It also comes across as a little bitter and sweet combined, getting sweeter as you get nearer the end with a tiny hint of something spicy. Although it had a good head it seemed to get a little flat towards the end but that's being a little to critical maybe.
The Verdict.
A nice refreshing beer, a little lighter than Hobgoblin but very good but would probably choose Hobgoblin before it.
