A hoppy copper coloured bitter with a refreshing tang, named after a traditional sailing boat often seen sailing on the north Norfolk coast. K12 is the symbol of the International 12 class, referring to the 12m sq sail area of the Sharpie.

Bottle. Ringstead Stores, Ringstead, Norfolk. Soft haze on a coppery amber. Fine and fairly dense white head. Nose has that (probably imagined) saline thing with lots of beer round that area. Brancaster and Woodefords in particular I find. Or maybe they just have something that reminds me of being on holiday there. Anyhoo. Nicely bitter edge. Smooth and in great condition. Lingering bitter finish.

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a orange with a bubble white head. Aroma is fruity, malty. Taste is a citrusy, resin, leafy malts.

15/8/2020. Bottle from Norfolk Food & Drink Co, Cromer. Pours clear amber/copper with a large fluffy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus, zesty orange, malt and biscuit. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Chocolate orange biscuit finish. Quite liked it, though it was a bit fizzy.
