1001 BEERS: #22. ADNAMS BROADSIDE




 

# 22: ADNAMS BROADSIDE

Adnams - England
6.3% ABV - Amber


E: Deep ruby red, foamy head that dissipates quickly.
N: Plenty of spicy fruit, treacle and toffee aromas.
P: Sweet malts, caramel and flavours of fruitcake, dry hoppy bitterness
M: Drying, smooth with a subtle carbonation, aftertaste is ok, but quite musty after a while.

Other comments: An English Amber ale that embodies the fighting spirit of our Navy.  Brewed to remember the battle where the Earl of Sandwich lost his life, Broadside is big in hops, but even bigger in malty fruit flavours.  

Food Pairings: Pair with dishes with a little spice.  Allow the sweet fruity malts to contrast against the heat, whilst the hop bitterness cuts through any acidity.

SCORE: 2.93/5
