Beer in the Broads - Autumn Beer Festival

The Autumn Beer Festival, a popular and regular event at Clippesby, will be held on 5th to 7th September 2008. Based in a marquee in the old walled garden, and with local band ‘The Relicks’ booked once again to round off the weekend, this event has developed its own unique relaxed and family friendly atmosphere. Lee is promising an even more varied selection of Norfolk ales this year, and with pitches already being booked (yes, really!) now is the time to pop this in your diary.

Tasting Notes

Wolf
Granny Wouldn’t Like It

4.8%

Dark red, rich and fruity.  This mighty beer has many awards to its name.  The swirling mix of flavours produces a complex but satisfying experience.

Wolf
Golden Jackal

3.7%

With a colour fitting the name, this well-balanced session bitter starts with a light honeyish aroma and a bitter-sweet hoppiness.  A light finish as the bitterness fades behind a smooth, hop-influenced sweetness.

Wolf
Straw Dog

4.5%

Pale and refreshing. This clear wheat beer is brewed in the German style.  Soft German hops added to the brew give a wonderful aroma and slightly sweet taste to leave the imbiber wanting more!

Woodforde’s
Nelsons Revenge

4.5%

A richly flavoured pale brown brew.  Both taste and aroma are heavy with blackcurrant fruitiness and a bitter-sweet hoppiness.  The finish sustains itself with a luxurious Amontillado dryness.

Woodforde’s
Wherry

3.8%

Refreshingly hoppy with a good balance of citrus and malt.  Little long-term loss of flavour as this golden-hued brew holds its genuinely hoppy character.

Woodforde’s
Sundew

4.1%

Subtle golden beer – pale in colour and light on the palate with the distinct hoppy Woodforde’s finish.  Deliciously golden and refreshing.

Tipples
Moonrocket

5.0%

A pale ale with a strong hoppy aroma and a clean, crisp flavour with a dryish, citrus finish.  Great with a good curry (apparently) and joint winner of our Autumn Festival in September 2005!

Tipples
The Hanged Monk

3.8%

One of a spooky Norfolk duo named after ghost stories from the Norfolk Broads.  This is a traditional Mild ale, with a sweet flavour and malty nose.

Tipples
Lady Evelyn

4.1%

A very pale straw coloured ale with a long dryish finish and a beautiful floral hop aroma. Another one of Mr Tipple’s Spooky story beers.

Winters
Golden

4.1%

A refreshing yellow golden ale with nicely balanced malt, hop and light tangy citrus flavours, derived from American Slovenian and English Hops.

Blackfriars
Yarmouth Bitter

3.8%

A very popular single hopped traditional bitter with mellow tones and crisp bitter ending.  Very Moreish. This ale was voted Beer of the Festival at the 2006 CAMRA Norwich Beer Festival.

Green Jack
Orange Wheat

4.2%

Lively golden ale brewed with zesty orange peel to deliver hints of citrus with every mouthful, easy drinking session bitter.  Just lovely.

Buffy’s
Bitter

3.9%

The initial aroma is a swirling mix of malt and hops that continues into the first taste.  A hint of toffee adds to the mix and gives a greater depth to the taste.  The long finish transforms the toffee maltiness to a more bitter, liquorice-type blend.

Humpty Dumpty
Norfolk Nectar

4.6%

Amber coloured ale though not clear as this beer is infused with local Reedham honey.  A refreshing hop bitterness lingers on the palate leaving a slight honey and vanilla sweetness on the lips.

Kingfisher
Norfolk cider

7.5%

Proper cider organic from the cask made with 100% apples naturally fermented.  Medium sweet or medium dry or mix the two for yet another thirst quenching option. Lightly sparkling with a real kick.
