Strong Ale 6.3 º 33 IBU

Adnams Southwold

Adnams Broadside is a commanding British Strong Ale that pours a luminous dark ruby red. Synthesizing a robust malt backbone of Pale Ale malt, it delivers a complex sensory profile of fruitcake, toasted almonds, and conserved dark fruits. This 'Strong Original' bottled version is elevated by First Gold hops, which provide an earthy, floral, and resiny character that balances the opulent sweetness. With a 6.3% ABV, it offers a medium-full body and a heart-warming alcohol presence. The experience concludes with a lingering, sophisticated finish where deep toffee notes and firm bitterness achieve a graceful, historic balance.
