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

(Cask) Hazy amber with slight white head. Subtle malty aroma. Light body with fine carbonation. Taste is crisp and refreshing - tangy slightly citrus with a nice hoppy lightly bitter finish. An excellent refreshing easy drinking bitter.

Bottle from bu11zeye. Who has given me wondrous beers, but I thank him especially for a rare real ale. Oh to be in England. Again. Pours cloudy dark brown with no head. Aromas of dark fruit and treacle. Med body. Flavor is very, very plummy. Dark malt. Touch of chocolate. But mostly very, very plummy. Itโ€™s delicious. Finishing towards dry. Somehow itโ€™s related to a plummy Belgian Quad. Amazing stuff.

Cask @ The Phoenix Tavern, Faversham. Clear, slightly reddish, golden body with a small and fast disappearing off-white head. Aroma has caramel malt, some fruitiness and unfortunately some butterscotch. Flavor is as aroma, with some minor and not to unpleasant level of butterscotch. Medium body, not so much aftertaste. Otherwise rather straightforward bitter thatโ€™s easy forgotten.
