Hobgoblin Gold

Tasting notes:

A hidden treasure has been unearthed in the Wychwood Brewery… and it’s as pure and precious as it’s forefather.

Hobgoblin Gold is the latest beer carrying the little fella’s moniker, and while Gold might be lighter in colour, it’s definitely no lightweight. A combination of hop varieties & an infusion of wheat and malted barley has resulted in the perfect golden beer – with a huge hop punch.

Guilt edged golden refreshment. Well what did you expect?

King Star

Tasting notes:

A King Star shines brightly on the Wych Wood drawing on the expertise and knowledge of our master brewers to hand craft a big and bold lager which is laced with flavour.  An escape from the average, brewed with fine English pale malted barley, and dry hopped with noble hop Styrian Goldings.

A lager that is delicately balanced, full bodied with a hint of sweetness that complements the aromas encapsulated from the noble hops. Enjoy a spicy herbal nose and a crisp quaffable elixir.

Gratis

Tasting notes:

A 4.2% ABV crafted golden beer. Brewed with the flavoursome Styrian Goldings hop to give a light floral aroma, but a heady and firm bitterness, for a sharp and bold aftertaste.

Packed full of flavour and free from gluten – it’s a no-grainer!

King Goblin

Tasting notes:

Brewed only on a Full Lunar Moon.

As the full moon casts its eerie light over the shadowy old Eagle Brewery, a magical brew gurgles forth from the casks. A beer enlivened by the energies of the universe, when the elements are converging into a harmonious alignment. Truly a brew fit for a celestial majesty.

King Goblin is hand crafted from roasted chocolate and crystal malts, with a timely infusion of fuggles, sovereign, styrian and cascade hops to produce an indulgently rich, full, smooth beer of exceptional quality and character.

A full, rich, sublimely fruity & satisfying indulgent beer; a beer for the connoisseur of the finer things.

Black Wych

A dark, mysterious and spellbinding porter

Once again the Black Wych has cast her spell. Start with a measure of alluringly rich dark malt and allow the bitterness to creep in. Watch out for the caramel sweetness lurking behind. This silky smooth 5% ABV Porter is no taboo, she is a spellbinding force to be reckoned with.

Dr Thirsty’s

Tasting notes:

No. 4 Blonde

Fresh off his cart is No.4. It’s an unpasteurised shimmering blonde concoction of fruits. Instant refreshment with an insanely fragrant aroma. No.4 is the first of the good DR’s elixirs to emerge from his apothecary. We expect more brews to follow from this enigmatic character.
