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.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s, drunk at home. Pleasantly dark brown with a ruby tint. A little bit of tan/cream head rests on top. Caramel, redcurrants and a hint of coffee in the aroma. Really nice for the most part, but has that odd metallic note so prevalent in big-name pasteurised UK bottled beers. Fruity and sweet with a sharp bitter finish. Aftertaste is nicely bitter without being acrid. Medium body. Pretty tasty and quite possibly the best of the ‘supermarket bitters’. And better than the cask version, which is rare.

Ambar rojiza, de escasa espuma, blanquecina. Translucida. Aroma frutal y tostado. En boca trago fácil, poco gas. Estupendo sabor que mezcla un tono general tostado con recuerdo de café, con notas de frutas rojas y amargor moderado. Buena ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
