The beer is made from a blend of East Anglian malted barley, Boadicea and First Gold hops and high grade malted wheat which is then filtered to allow the aromas and flavours within the beer to remain. Spindrift is top-fermented and it should be served chilled with a thick, continental-style head. (Contains barley & wheat).

Can. Admams shop in Holkham. Clear pale gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has a bit of a Belgian style saison yeast thing. Not too much else. Faint soapiness. Taste is semi dry with some bitterness. Thin and nondescript overall. Watery finish. Pointless.

Tap at the Greyhound, Ipswich. Pours golden to amber with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of hop, grass, malt and citrus. Quite heavy sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium to light body, oily texture, soft carbonation.

Keg at the Blue Moon, Cambridge. Light to mid-gold. Not much head but there is some lacing. Grain with a bit of lemon and soap. A reasonable aroma, but not all that much better than a mediocre cask golden or a half-arsed ’craft’ pils. Taste is a refreshing bittersweet with a bit of savoury cereal in the finish. Too flat for my liking. Not good. Disappointed in Adnams, who do some cracking ales along with the odd pointless one.

Clear golden, small, airy white head. Malty, grainy aroma and flavour. Sweet but short finish.
