This beer is named after the Golden Torc which was an important status symbol for the Celts. A torc is a large neck ring, usually made of precious metal and many have been found in Norfolk which was part of the Iceni tribal territory. The beer is a hoppy golden ale with a lasting finish. A complex blend of late hopping is at work here, but the hops are balanced with a steady base of malt and bitterness, with only the merest hint of grapefruit and citrus.
