Adnams Gunhill (Bottle)

Brewed by Adnams
Style: Mild Ale
Southwold, England

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Grey small lingering foam. Dry caramell aroma with some woody hop aroma. Well fermented beer with litle maltiness and small bitterness.

Mild isn’t usually a style that floats my boat. I find it, well, a bit mild. This pours a slightly hazy ruby brown colour with a film of cream coloured head. That rubiness carries on in the aroma of plums, cranberries, caramel and cream. One of the finest smelling things in the world is a good creamy British ale. There’s no shortage of body, it is silky and full with good prickly carbonation around the sides of the tongue. Flavourwise it has cherry tart and good stinging acid notes. It develops on the palate becoming softer and rounded but with good fresh berry fruitiness around it. Mild? Maybe.

Bottle. Amber beer with a nice beige head. Malty aroma, toffee, fruity, roasted. Malty flavor, fruity, toffee, fig notes, some hop, some bread. Very nice.

From a 50 cl bottle in London. Dark copper colour with a white head. Fruity and maybe a bit nutty aroma. Fruity and caramell flavour. A nice good beer :-)

Bottle. Pours dark clear amber with a nice creamy foam that disappears slowly. Aroma surprisingly roasty malts, and hops. Hint of biscuits and fruits. Medium palate. Not Bad.

Bottle at Monks Sveavägen Stockholm. Dark brown colour with an off-white head. Somewhat nutty aroma and taste.
