With an ABV of 3.4%, this classic amber beer delivers a crisp, refreshing taste- With its light fragrance, lovely malt flavours and long hoppy after palate, Adnams Lighthouse shines through as another champion Beer From The Coast.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a fine off-white head. Aroma is clean malty with some fruit. Flavor is light malty, rather refreshing, some fruitiness and a mild hoppy finish. OK to be this low in alcohol, otherwise a bit boring after one glass.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml from Tesco, Banbury. Amber with white head. Straight in to the typical Adnams peppery, dusty hop character, dryish but with some burnt caramalised sugar notes. Mid roast malt, easy on the palate, for the ABV it works, but I’m not sure about the point in having such low ABV beers in bottle.

Bottle. Bronze beer with a strongish head. The aroma is hopped, fruity, toffee and roasted, and the flavour is hopped and toffee. Overall a reasonable beer.

Bottle, from Tesco, Grimsby. Deep gold, thin white head and gentle condition. Gentle sweet malt and caramel with a low grassy hop note in the aroma, soft in the mouth with more sweet caramel and gentle hop bitterness, short hop bitterness in the finish

Bottle of Octo’s from Beers of Europe (what was she thinking??). Tawny amber, white slick. Reasonable grassy and peppery hop, tea, citrus, bit of nut, pleasantly caramelised aroma. Wet lawn and caramel beyond; sweet gentle hop and cooked sugar. Not a whole lot happening, but nothing unpleasant. Holds together OK at 3.4%.

Bottle that I picked up in Tesco, Aylesbury 23-03-09 consumed 29-03-09 Poured amber with slightly off white head. Reasonable hoppy bite from the off, but then it seems to slip into mediocrity. There is a decent bitter in here I’m sure but I’m struggling to find anything more than an average light fruity offering. Its just ok really. A5 A3 F5 P3 OV12 2.8
