About
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.

LIVE RATING. Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge on 26th November 2010. Slightly hazy amber with thin part-lacing white head. Grassy aroma with some yeastiness. Interesting main taste in-mouth, fruity, hoppy with plenty of herbs and spices present. A grassy finish on a light easy drinking mouthfeel. Very pleasant.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Light amber, slight white head, slight fizz. Lemon up front with some smooth malt coming through, a hint of spice (coriander?) and a mild bitterness in the finish. Low-key but OK.

Spoons Fest! Clear amber beer. Tiny suddy white head. Smooth palate - almost carbonation free - a little dry. Well balanced even malt and some hybridised orange and grapefruit bitterness. Finishes dry. Dull but okay. Could taste no Nelson to Motueka.
