500ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with brief fizz. Aroma of pear skins and old boots. Taste starts with sweet pear and hint of tined pineapple chunks in syrup then light funk, vanilla and wood. Slick body. Although you can tell there are some cheap ingredients to this its not bad.

500ml bottle. No longer has 'Southwold' in the title but its clearly marked as Adnams and is 4.2% so must be the same. Chestnut pour with small beige top. Aroma has a rich toasted malt helped by the use of rye with notes of fruit cake and toffee. Taste follows aroma - there is a nice mixed dried fruit and blackberry with some light spicy notes to offset the maltiness. Slick near medium body, maybe a bit light for a winter beer but it does offset the richness. Moderately sweet and bitter. Overall a good bitter.

Crystal clear gold, small white top. Grain, dust, citric aroma. Taste of grains, slightly bready but quite clean, fairly crisp bitterness if a bit thin in body. A solid if unspectacular pilsner.

Bottle. Clear amber with small white head. Aroma of malts, light caramel, apple. Taste of caramel, malts, tangy citrus, light yeast, apple skins, grass. Light bodied, semi-drying finish, modest bitterness. Balanced, light, easy drinking., Nothing particularly exciting here but reasonable hopping for a traditional bottled ale and quite tasty.

Can. Cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit, light earthy. Taste is the same, pleasant, but not much in the finish. Light bodied, fairly dry.

Bottle from M&S. It pours clear golden - amber with a decent bubbly white head. The aroma is fragrant, festive spice, warming clove, plenty of banana, banana split, tangy, juicy blood orange and marmalade sandwiches. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, puckering, quite tart, some acidity, sour candy, blood orange, kumquat, orange sherbet, touch of green banana, marmalade, some spice and tapioca with a drying, pithy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Tastes is tarter than I expected with a snack citrus acidity. I understand the poor reviews, but I didn't mind it to be honest.

330ml can. Clear purple with small brief white head. Aroma is fruity and tangy raspberries as well background apples. Taste is very sweet but a nice balance in flavour between apples and raspberry. Light oily, nice carbonation. Nice balance to this cider.

500ml bottle. Pours a dark ruby-brown, thin beige fizzy cap. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate. Taste is roasted malts and caramel, semi-sweet, light smokiness and bitterness in the finish. Light to moderate body, a nice refreshing session feel to this porter. If you are after a dark beer with more depth and body then this maybe not for you. I enjoyed it though.

330ml can. Pours a clear dark gold, small white head, nice lasting head. Aroma is sweet malts, grainy with a corn edge, floral and grassy. Taste is malty, sweet and herbal with moderate grassy bitterness Light to medium bodied, fairly smooth. Quite nice.

330ml can. Clear gold, small white head, modest retention. Aroma of cereals, grain, lemon rind. Taste is very sweet for a lager, bready, cereals, lemon and light spicy hop notes. Light to medium bodied, fairly smooth, frothy carbonation. It doesn't really come together. A bit average.
