Can from the always well laid out Adnams Store, this one in an atmospheric corner building by the main road as it turns into the town centre in Holt. Deeper golden with a head. Traditional to an extent, with a citrus kick providing a fruity element to what otherwise might have been a deeper bitterness than the one it has.

Terribly infected. Can still detect a hint of that classic English pale ale taste, though
