Elgoods is a family owned brewery housed in the North Brink Brewery in the heart of the fens. The Brewery was established in 1795 and was one of the first classic Georgian breweries to be built outside of London.
The Golden Newt is a golden ale with floral citrus hop aroma and a satisfying soft hoppy palate ending with a spritzy bitterness.

Pours a dark clear gold, small white head, modest retention.
Aroma of pale malts, an odd rhubarb and custard note, floral with light spice. Interesting.
Taste also has a fruity rhubarb note with a biscuit malt base, a bit over filtered and tinny in the middle but some nice floral and spice notes in the finish with a moderate bitterness.
Light bodied but fairly smooth with a high lager like carbonation.
Mixed but on balance I quite like it.

Wow. Wasn’t quite what I was expecting but really enjoyed it. Quite a sweet vanilla aroma, and a taste that reminded me of cream soda (albeit a drink I haven’t tried for 40 plus years). Massively refreshing.
