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.

Cask at The Queen Vic, Aberdeen. It pours amber with an orangey hue and handsome white head. The aroma is bready, digestive biscuits, sappy, floral, tangy citrus and lemon curd. The taste is firm and dry upfront, biscuity malt base, sappy, resin, pithy, zesty, grapefruit rind, touch of rawness and tannin with a dry, bitter linger. Average body and nice carbonation for cask. Hearty malt base with a really nice hit of bitterness and hops. Haven't had a cask ale like this in some time, i.e. a Trad English cask take on an APA. Works well.
