Broadside was launched as a 6.3% bottled beer in 1972 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the battle of Sole Bay fought against the Dutch Republic in 1672 off the Southwold coast, just across the green from the brewery.

Ingredients: Pale, Black, and Chocolate malts; First Gold hops

Broadside is a dark ruby red beer rich in fruitcake aromas, almonds and conserved fruit. The fullness of the beer makes it a good accompaniment for hearty food.

Аромат даже немного сложноват для простоты этого пива. немного карамельки, в целом много солода вообще, нотки от темных фруктов, немного хмеля континентального, в целом легкая сладость конфетная, но легкая. Цвет темный, но на просвет, пенка средняя. Вкус приятный и питкий, снова фрукты темные и немного карамели. При глотке сухоссти немного, но почти нету горчинки. Снова много солода. В целом очень неожиданно приятный экземпляр.
