Description
When good friends Ray Ashworth and David Crease got tired of the same old beers, they were determined to change things up a level. With a passion for homebrewing and creating authentic flavours, they became part of a new-wave revolution, handcrafting their own beers in the 1960s.
In 1981 they founded their own brewery near Norwich and moved to a converted farm complex in the picturesque Broadland village of Woodbastwick in 1989

Burk från SB. Mörkbrun som valnötsträ, lågt skum. Maltig och len och mjuk som en mild men lite större och med rostade nötter, trä/fat, mörk torkad frukt, söta päron och lite cognac. Komplex men lättdrucken och nyanserna är lätta att missa. Gott

Pint of gravity at the Lytton Arms beer festival. Fantastic colour in the glass, a deep mahogany, and a really rich flavour. More of a bitter than a pale ale, but what do I know. This is pretty good, but still a bit warm.

One Volt can power an LED screen, this one Volt carries quite a bit of power through a fuller body, subduing the fruitiness of its hops. There's quite a lot of malt and bitterness coming through too, making it quite traditional tasting. It's decent. Darker clear golden with a glow.
