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

Couple of pints or so from a Polly Pin at a party on 7th June 2014, some 6 miles from the brewery. Light golden with a wisp and collar. Pleasant enough blend, with the malts just about winning in both the aroma and taste stakes. Mildly bitter finish, ideal session garden ale on a warm Norfolk day.

500ml bottle from M&S, as Norfolk Bitter. Pours hazy amber, might have been clearer if there werenโ€™t a big yeast deposit around the neck. Must have been stored at a strange angle for some time. Big off-white head. Aroma is floral hops and toffee. Taste is sweet, very faint bitterness. Carbonation is a tad high. Creamy texture, medium body. Short finish. OK.

Cask @ A Nation of Shopkeepers, Leeds. Glowing amber with a thin head. Slightly dry tasting but with a nice hop balance to its texture. Thereโ€™s some fruit in its flavour but not enough to please.
