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

Can bought from Bakers + Larners department store in the pretty Norfolk village of Holt. Golden with a head. Fruity as expected, but not entirely tropical with a bit of the exotic in the mix too, and a hint of pine. The name of the brew matters little, it's pretty good regardless.
