Sep 23, 2003 Updated: Aug 8, 2004A solid session beer with plenty of hoppy bitterness and a refreshing bite when on top form. The very wide distribution this beer enjoys these days means that it is not always served in the peak of condition. If you want to sample Adnams at its best, go to Southwold, where it is brewed. Is it my imagination, or is this a little darker than it used to be, perhaps even with a hint of fruity malt on the finish? Generally, however, peppery hop is the dominant characteristic.

Oct 6, 2002 Updated: Apr 30, 2006Cask. Like a Burton bitter this has a sulphur nose and a slightly salty flavour. I was disapointed with this, while a decent glugger this is a poor beer overall.

Dec 29, 2004 Updated: Apr 11, 2008Sept, 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]
