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 Boltmakers, Keighley, 20-05-06. This was a pale golden beer that was most refreshing lovely zingy grapefruit flavours and a great bite to it. Quite impressed with this.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Gold colour with lasting white head. Good hop on this, nice citric lemon/grapefruit, refreshing summer ale with good biscuit malt base. Very good, very dry hop on end. 500ml bottle filtered and pasteurised. Deep gold with thick lasting off white head. Some hop, some empty malt aroma. Really lacks any body at all. Some hop. Kind on refreshing on a hot summer’s day maybe, sat in a pub garden on the fens, but otherwise just a bit tasteless. Well made but dull 525210

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is deep ruby or copper. Fruity, malty nose and a malty taste, starts a bit sweet, but becomes drier and finishes with a nice, long bitter finish. A hint of oranges and a fresh hoppy taste. Nice and tasty.

(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 in a J.D. Wetherspoon, London
Brown color. Some malt aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, not particularly rich; malty with a lot of caramel and delicate roasted malt, more evident at the end. Average.

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