Description
Elgood & Sons is a family-owned brewing company situated in the heart of ‘Fen’ country in Cambridgeshire, England. Home to Elgood’s is the North Brink Brewery which was established in 1795, and was one of the first classic Georgian Breweries to be built outside London.
In 1878 it came under the control of the Elgood family, and so it remains today, with the fifth generation of the Elgood family now coming through to run the business, maintain the traditions, and push the company boldly forward into the 21st Century.

Rather drinkable overall. Pleasantly sweet, with some ripening citrus notes, followed by a sturdy grassy bitterness. Perhaps the bitterness is a touch much in the finish. Otherwise, doc but nice.
