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.

Bottle from Morrisons. Deep gold in colour with a frothy white head. Aroma of jammy fruit with some grassy hops. Flavour began with a touch of caramel before a hoppy finish. Good.

[i] Cask, gravity at The Rock of Gibraltar Beer Festival, Enslow, Oxon, 01-09-07 [/i] Light golden pour with no head, served a bit too warm in my opinion, beers were served inside the pub on racks with no effort to keep cool. This was the one and only beer that I returned to it seemed to a tiny bit cooler than the others and was rather pleasant. Crisp hoppy aroma, with fruit. Lemony bite to this beer with lingering bitterness and sweet malts only just residing in the background, hoppy and fruity but it’s that great citrusy bite that I will remember.

Small white coarse head over deep golden body. Light pine needle hop aroma with notes of clean, dry straw. Taste is light, clean malts with a dry, bitter floral and resiny hoppy aftertaste. A bit thin-bodied, but the hop profile is nice. Quite good. (0.5l from cask.)

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Colour is golden yellow. Lots of hops in the nose, som fruit as well. Has a distinct and fresh hoppy character, with some fruit (citrus). Starts a bit sweet, but becomes drier towards the finish. Not very complex but tasty and drinkable.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A slightly hazy orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet and lovely hoppy, while the flavor is lovely hoppy, leading to a dry grassy end.
