Pale in colour with prominent hoppy palate and full flavoured finish, Golden Newt is a pale session bitter of 4.1% ABV cask and 4.6% ABV in bottle.
The beer has a prominent hop character; a blend of Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade has been used in the recipe to bring the delicate hop flavour and aroma to the fore. The use of Cascade gives a pleasing citrus aroma.
Finest pale Maris Otter malt has been used to provide a full flavoured beer. The lavish use of late hop dominates the malt flavour and results in a satisfying pint.

(Cask at Captain Corvus, 20160903) The beer poured golden and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness, earth and butter. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, earth, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A poor pale ale. Bad cask?

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants Kings Parade. Dark gold and almost clear. Very little head. Malt, lemon and a bit of tropical fruit. Bitter taste with quite a bit of sweet malt. Bitter aftertaste. Very unexciting if refreshing. The cask version is far superior.

Cask @ Burnaby Arms, Bedford. Mid to dark gold. Aroma is malty with hints of citrus fruit hop, like a proper lager. Taste is... wow. Bittersweet, flavourful and rich from start to finish.
