Bottled only (pasteurised). Introduced in 2010. Medium Dry.
Note: Has been seen badged as "Owld Norfolk" but the bottle is clearly labelled as "Old Norfolk". The bottled version is different to the draught.
Winner of the CAMRA Best Cider 2011 East of England. Described by judges as having a “very pleasant, subtle fruit, honey, and flowery aroma, as well as a rounded balanced flavour, with a lemon/lime hint. The full apple fruity after taste that faded slowly was very enjoyable”.
Previously 7.5%.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe now at 6.9%. Pours a clear but promising amber-gold, a few bubbles on top but its a still cider. Aroma is very woody with ripe dessert apples and booze. Heady stuff! Taste sweetish, tangy bittersweet apples, peel, light brown sugar, wood. A slight tangy yeast aftertaste which reminds me of some barrel aged sour beers I've tried. Medium bodied, light oiliness, smooth. Its a good characterful cider.
