Hobgoblin Clone -Brittas Bay Ale

[Rossa]

Hobgoblin in a bottle is not a patch on the cask version so that is what I was going for here. It is a beefed up version of other clones that you see but it was a lovely beer.

I put this in the best section as it was not an average brew. It was tasted by homebrewers and thought to be worthy of praise and therefore a place in the best section.... the only reason I posted it was that reason.
