A refreshing beer of real flavour - distinctively hoppy and dry with malt aromas. Delicious served cool.
Adnams brewery has stood in the heart of Southwold for over six hundred years and "Southwold Jack" appears on our beer labels. He continues to guard over our longest-serving beer brewed here in Southwold on the Suffolk coast -The Bitter. Bitter goes well with roast meats and fish cooked in batter as the clean bitterness cuts through the slightly fatty notes and hence keeps the palate refreshed. Our Bitter also makes a good aperitif.

Bottle, local supermarket, from backlog. Poured dark amber to pale brown in colour with a small just off-white head. Aromas of hop, fruit, caramel, bread and light floral notes. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, slight oily and watery texture, soft to average carbonation. Better than it’s replacement.

Lots of blackcurrants and redcurrants. Incredibly fruity. Soft malts. Easy-drinking session bitter. Nothing pretentious. To style.
