Norwich Bitter
Pale golden and light, Norwich Bitter shows a fruity character with floral, citrus aromas, while the hops and English pale malt stay in balance. Maris Otter forms the base, and Brewer's Gold, Krpan and Amarillo are the hops. At 3.8% it is the lightest beer in the brewery's core range, and it carried the name Fat Cat Bitter before it became Norwich Bitter.
