Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Name changed in early 2006 from "Adnams Bitter". Known before 2000 as "Adnams Southwold Bitter".
Was sold as "George Ale" for the George Inn in Southwark until 2007.
A classic cask bitter: the choice of a growing number of discerning licensees. Fragrant aromas of finest English hops and malt. Dry but refreshing, with a distinctive lingering bitterness. Appetising and delicious. Adnams bitter is a category champion.

A regular in these parts and often on at the kings Arms. Slips down nice and easy and refreshes the toes that other beers by-pass.

Sept, 2002: Clean and refreshing, a straight forward English bitter, thoroughly enjoyable with a perfect balance of dryly bitter hops, mild orange fruit and a subtle sweetness. Nothing dominates, everything works in harmony. The ultimate session beer: relaxed, refreshing, sociable. [3.2]
Aug, 2003: As George Ale in George Inn, Southwark. Dark amber colour. Mostly sulphur in the nose. Medium bodied, some fruit, almost sharp, then a tangy finish. A decent ale - it’s Southwold Bitter that’s been kept too long under blanket pressure. [2.9]
Dec, 2004: Blackfriars, London.Nice, but slightly underperforming. London Xmas Crawl.[2.8]
March - Easter Monday - 2005: George Inn - George Ale, Southwark. Nicely hoppy and quite fresh and tidy. Tastes dry hopped - but the barmaid didn’t know. [3.1]
April, 2008 The Three Horseshoes, Cranleigh. A lighter malt version of Broadside with the hops more to the fore. Very nice. [3.3]

Draft at Sherlock Holmes Pub. Small smooth ivory head with good lacing, transparent, softly carbonated, and an orange hue. Aroma was malty, light caramel notes, and hoppy. Sweet, lightly bitter, malty, and hoppy flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied beer.
