Goblin’s is brewed to be a fruity, refreshing bitter with a malty body, a good smack of spicy hop flavour and an intense mouth-watering depth of hop bitterness. The spicy, sometimes citrusy hop character derives from the liberal dose of Styrian Goldings and Cascade hops, both late hopped in the kettle. No marketing man in his right mind would have ever created a beer category called Bitter, but to the educated beer-drinker the word is mouth watering! Truly: Life’s only bitter pleasure! Goblin’s Bitter is not only unique in the sense that the yeast strain that is used was the original yeast of the Whitbread Brewery in the UK, first observed under the microscope by Louis Pasteur in 1895. This ale was also top-fermented at warm temperatures true to the original style. If at any stage during the long years of building up Drayman’s Brewery I had serious doubts whether I would ever succeed, I would pour and savour a pint of Goblin’s to put my fears at rest!
