Had on tap in the White Horse pub in Chelmsford. Served in an adnams pint glass on an adnams coaster, overall a very adnams atmosphere here!
Not an amazing bitter, it's very dry and not a great example of the style to be honest. Too much hops leaving it quite unbalanced for my taste.
A very 'meh' drink overall. I would order it again if there were no other ales but I would always choose somthing like Doom Bar over this.

500 ml bottle, as Adnams The Bitter, bought at Ole Simon, Sandnes. ABV was 4.5%. Amber colour, large and lasting creamy off-white head. Moderate toffee aroma, hints of nuts and oak. Flavour is nutty with a distinct hoppy bite in the finish. Not bad.

This one is the classic, since 1960.
I remember having this pulled by an engine from a cask a dozen years ago and I was wowed by the freshness. A classically balanced ale.
I had it again in a bottle because it is listed on the "!001" beers and should be.
MJ's 1999 edition gave it 3 of 4 stars, calling it "outstanding with a dry, flowery, piney, resiny aroma".
