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

(Bottle, 0.5 l - courtesy of rosenbergh) The beer poured reddish orange and cloudy. Its head was small. Cramell, malts yeast, and tangerine in the aroma. Palate was quite light bodied and dry with low carbonation. Taste contained hops, malts, caramell, mild acridness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. This beer was quite dull.
