Revenge is best served bittersweet. Our wholehearted harmony of hops, fruits and barley pays homage to brave Admiral Nelson and his crew. Nelson’s is a Norfolk beer, and glory in the taste and aromas of citrus and Norfolk malts we’ve crammed in.

Burk från SB. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad med medelhögt krämigt skum. Rejäl kropp med rostade nötter, fullkornsbröd och en liten karamellsötma. Lätt beska för stilen. Välgjord och god

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Floral hops and oranges in the aroma plus some grassy hints. In the mouth it’s sweet and zesty but with some underlying bitterness. Floral hops and malts to the fore at the start, but later autumn fruits come through alongside traces of spice and peanuts. Finish is hopps with increased bitterness and some fruity vibes. This is a decent best bitter.

04/09/2021. CRICKETERS, 51 Crown Street, IPSWICH, Suffolk, England (WETHERSPOONS). Presumably this is Nelson's Revenge 4.5% just renamed. Perhaps 'Revenge' was a sensitive word....?

Ty Grumbo. Pours amber. Sweet and caramel forward, with nice black tea bitterness and hint of metallic and milky notes. Ok. 3.4
