Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Originally brewed at 4.6%. Has been available in bottle.
Golden Newt is a pale session bitter 4.1%. 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 flavours & 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.

had on cask at the wheatsheaf while watching the chiefs kick the hurricanes ass all over the park! Interesting beer i guess is the best thing to say....hop characters but more along the harsh astringent nature than the good fruity stuff....

Cask - Murderers, Norwich. A dark and dusky golden colour with a slight off-white head. Sweet, fruity aromas with a standard but rounded hoppiness. The flavours are also quite hoppy with a plump sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel. Good body with a crisp dryness in the finish and a lingering grassy flavour.
