50 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours cloudy to hazy orange with a fully gone head. Mild brett-ish and dry aroma. Light fruity and mild floral spiced flavour. Lingering fruity and mild bitter finish.

A crisp, clean looking ale. Nutty brown in colour with a little ring of nicotine-stained head. Lightly fruity and green with a big-hopped aroma. Very well rounded immediately, Intense hops are quick to disperse. Through them come a sweet maltiness with a tickly little carbonation. Biscuitty with a yogurt thickness. Blends away to a bittersweet finish that seems to crumble in te mouth. The hops have a really great flavour to them in this beer. Heavy and delicious. A killer session.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy golden with a rough, white head. Chemical diacetyl aroma. Medium body, some fruit and an acidic and astringent finish. Clearly infected. 031008

Bottle, 4.5%. Good fruity aroma. Cloudyd orange colour. Citric flavour, hint of plastic. Some metal. Could have been OK, but has some off-flavours.

Gravity cask at Lord Nelson, Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk. Light copper with a small lacy head. Hop nose is reminiscent of Wherry but this has more body from the extra alcohol. Overall a really good beer, that I would have been happy to drink all afternoon.

Bottle conditioned, as M&S ’Norfolk Bitter’. Initially neat Ribena cordial aroma (BLACKCURRANT, with a whisper of strawberry), then something altogether deeper and mustier takes over. It’s fat ripe hedgerow fruit with a waft of onion and green stemmy leafiness= HOPS. It’s brazen, bulbous, very fruity, and shouting "GOLDINGS!!", and I like it. Bright ruby clarity with fine white suds dying to a slick. No surprises beyond the nose, just more berry fruit and biscuit. Tangy red bitter strangely not a million miles from the M&S ’Yorkshire Bitter’ I just saw off. Not especially arsed if it’s a decent brew, and this is. Another impressive offering from Norfolk.
