Hobgoblin Ale
(England)

---

A new face on
the Tokyo pub
scene, Hobgoblin
ale in bottles
is served at
most of the
draft beer pubs
oriented toward
the foreign
community.
Apparently
supply from the
brewery near
Oxford, England
cannot meet
demand because
it is frequently
out of stock.
Hobgoblin is
gloriously
complex ale,
dark brown with
a tinge of red,
topped by a
creamy ivory
head. There is a
strong aroma of
dried fruits
with a touch of
floral hops. The
initial taste is
soft, creamy and
sweet, but the
sweetness soon
fades into a
spicy, slightly
smoky flavor,
leading to a
subtle yet
extended finish.
Now on draft at
the new
Hobgoblin Pub in
Akasaka.
