Just a scattering of pre-noon customers. Much preparation underway for the arrival of lunchtime diners. We only noticed the handpumps, but it seems there may have been additional cask beers available on gravity dispense somewhere.

Jo C's - Norfolk Kiwi3.80AcceptableGolden, and served rather cold. NZ hop presence, but didn’t really deliver.
Norfolk Brewhouse (uses Moongazer brand name too) - Moon Gazer Ruby Ale4.00AcceptableA sweetish Red Ale. Not really the kind of thing I like.

12:15 Second stop on the Ale Trail. Dog group having a meeting at one end of the bar. Stand selling beer flavoured cakes as a tie in with the City of Ale at the other end. I had a Beer, Bacon and Pecan Bar. Odd but good.

My first visit since the Kiwi take over. Good chat with the barman about the Jo C's range of beers led to a tasting and a discussion about the various tastes.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Golden Triangle - Citropolois3.80Excellent
Jo C's - Bitter Old Bustard4.30GoodNice balance of malt and hops
Jo C's - Norfolk Kiwi3.80GoodGood session beer but somewhat lacking taste.
Jo C's - Knot Just Another IPA5.00GoodPerfect condition but it does not cut it as an IPA. It needs more hops to balance the strength.
