Keg at the Pavillion Bar, Cromer. Clear golden with a deeper glow and a carbonation. Thin head in a plastic outside drinking vessel as consumed above the North Sea on the boards. Pretty ordinary, not too stated in its lager malts, palateble enough.

750ml swing top job. Brewed June 2019. Picked up at Bakers and Larners of Holt, Norfolk. I can’t imagine where these Heritage beers are stored because the condition is stunning every time. Opens without a pop but pours lively. Sits lightly hazed pale copper. Beautiful slim super sticky semi lacing white foam. Nose has soft oxidised notes under date and fig fruit. Overripe citrus. Bit of a mega sweet sliced pear thing. Taste has a moderate fruity sweetness with robust bitterness throughout. Slick and a tad chewy. Nice bitterness at the finish tempers things well. Bosh.
