Description
In 1965, Lacons were taken over by a Whitbread who closed Lacons down in 1968. Subsequently reclaimed independence in 2013 and started brewing again.

Early on, beers were produced under a number of names, including Courtyard and Wilbur Wood. Launched under the Lacon's Name in May 2013.

Based in Norfolk, Lacons Brewery is home to Lacons Encore, the award-winning amber beer. Our brewing team is committed to using the highest quality Norfolk malt along with the original Lacons yeasts. Developed over 100 years ago and used in every brew, endowing all our new beer with centuries of brewing heritage.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Vague veggie citrus aroma. Light amber. Thin blotchy bubbly white head. Light-medium bitter. Spicy. A sour citrus hint. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. There's not much going on but the bitterness provides some character.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Vinøse toner med tørkede frukter, appelsinmarmelade og en tydelig humlebitterhed. Very enjoyable indeed.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Rich herby fruit aroma. Crystal amber. Thick light beige head. Medium bitter. Dark fruity sweet streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Overly bitter for the style in my opinion. Not overly enjoyable. A pity as it looks and smells good.
