Hobbs bills itself as "The Craft Beer of Belize" and, so far, no other brewery in the country has a legitimate argument. Their Belizean Golden Ale, if I'm honest, would be an above-average blond stateside. In Belize, it's heaven. Everything else here is a stout, a "stout", a bland wannabe lager, or an American Adjunct. (Corn. Blech.)
Look: dark golden, slightly cloudy.
Smell: sweet cream, butterscotch, citrus.
Taste: grapefruit, with hints of apricot and burnt biscuit. The hops linger. (Edit: the most recent batch includes notes of butterscotch and caramel.)
Feel: medium creamy, not quite what the aroma would lead you to expect.
Overall: a true craft beer that comes with a caveat: the ingredients cannot be had as cheaply as in the US and, thus, Hobbs retails for almost four times the price of the other beers brewed here—about double your average American microbrew. I would never spend that stateside but, given the options here, I'm absolutely all in.
