Pale in colour with prominent hoppy palate and full flavoured finish, Golden Newt is a pale session bitter of 4.1% ABV.
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 blended with wheat malt and rye crystal to provide a full flavoured beer. The lavish use of late hop dominates the malt flavour and results in a satisfying pint.

(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.

Cask gravity at Kent BF. Typical golden citrus bitter. Absolutely fine, just not that interesting after drinking half a dozen similar beers
