Hobgoblin all day every day, my uni even had it on tap <3

 

I like the King Goblin variety, I really could drink that every day!

That's no excuse for putting fruit juice in beer!!!!

Now, to hark back to my time in America a couple of years ago - I ordered a beer while in a Chilli's called Shock Topper; this had the usual description of citrus notes, blah, blah, etc but when arrived at our table had a segment of orange speared by a cocktail stick floating in the top of my beer I almost went in to complete melt down; raging that there is a piece of fruit in my beer.... I mean, look at it!!! Look at it!!! WTF???

 

 

.........but, when in Rome and all that and gave it a go. Actually quite liked it.

Goose Honker is a North American attempt at a classic British Bitter. Tastes like a Pint of Mild with added fizz, not great.

Rye pale from the kings of stout. Bland and boring
