Bottle from Waitrose. Amber with a white head. Unlike the Broadside this does not do justice to the cask version. Lacking in freshness and pretty bland it does nothing to remind me of the many holidays that I have enjoyed in Southwold over the years.

Bottled A copper coloured beer with no head. A sweet and a bit sickly aroma; very obvious pasteurisation with paper and glass noted. The taste has some bittersweet character but is chemically harsh. I like Adnams and bought this bottle in Southwold which is such a cool place ,but I have to say this is very disappointing. Will retry the cask version this week

Unclear orange with a low head and almost no carbonation. Some herbs and berries with a dry feeling. Very clean and refreshing.

Bottle at Kings Arms with Arne. Amber color with a nice thick white head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Flavor of bready malt, classic english hops, caramel and a fruity sweetness.

(Bottle from Co-op, Long Stratton) Poured a brown clear colour with a big solid head that lasted the whole drink. Sweet malt smell with a bit of hoppy citrus and lots of caramel. Quite a lot of hop nose for a bitter. Good bitter hop taste which evolves into a dry finish. Hint of biscuity sweetness and a little bit of bready malt. Hoppy for a bitter, but it works very well. Just enough carbonation to keep it lively too. Good solid bitter.
