Formerly Fat Cat Bitter. Superseded by Norwich Bitter during 2018 (using different hops).
A pale gold bitter, with distinct floral, citrus aromas, now brewed with Brewer's Gold & Chinook hops. The subtle blend of classic English pale malts gives a distinctive taste, which blends well with the hop bitterness to give a well-balanced flavour.
