A new recipe from late 2010 - hops changed from Casacde & Goldings and continental malts omitted.

A pale gold bitter, with a distinct floral, spicy aroma from Sybilla and Pilgrim hops. The subtle blend of classic English pale malts gives a distinctive taste, which blends well with the hop bitterness to give a spicy, yet well-balanced flavour.

Superseded in 2018 by Norwich Bitter, brewed with Brewer's Gold & Chinook hops.
