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.

Nice clear orange golden color with a fine white head. Ok floral aroma with an ok intensity. Medium (a bit light) body and an average carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Floral, biscuit, toffee, mild citric and a bit fruity flavor. Nice session able ale.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Light to mid-brown with a bit of off-white head. Smells of sulphur, raw grain, some floral notes and a little bit of sick. Taste is bitter and a little bit acrid. Very bitter finish. Not a great beer and not a patch on the cask.

From cask at the Waldringfield Maybush, Suffolk. Pours a light brown colour with a small white head, an attractive looking pint. Aroma is malty, caramel, with fruity notes. Medium sweetness with a touch of sourness. Light body, texture fairly thin, average carbonation initially though going rather flat. Finish is of caramel. A good bitter.

Pours a clear amber color, topped with a medum sized beige head. Nice and mild caramel malt aroma. Taste starts sweet, mild caramel presence, followed by a gentle hoppy bitterness and a short aftertaste. Drinkable, mild and non-offensive. Nothing special, though. Still, not bad.
