Adnams Spindrift

The beer is made from a blend of East Anglian malted barley, Boadicea and First Gold hops and high grade malted wheat which is then filtered to allow the aromas and flavours within the beer to remain. Spindrift is top-fermented and it should be served chilled with a thick, continental-style head. (Contains barley & wheat).

2.9 Clear golden, small, airy white head. Malty, grainy aroma and flavour. Sweet but short finish.

2.6 Bottle. Pours clear golden with small white head. Dusty and spicy aroma with notes of hops and yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with dusty and malty notes and estery touches. Citric hints. Watery. Bitter aftertaste with sourish notes. Tolerable.

2.9 Bottle, 5.0%. OK caramelly and sweetish aroma. Clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is caramelly with a mild hop bite. Has a little bread in the finish, but not too bad.

1.3 has that yeasty malty doughnut smell, golden body with no head as im drinking from the bottle. tastes like water with yeast. worst beer ive had in ages, congratulations adnams.

3.3 Frankly it just doesn’t make any sense. Hop is just too extreme and sherberty for the body of the beer. Adnams yeasty apple aroma, but the rest is terrible. Mind you according to Jonathan Adnams, it wasn’t made for me anyway. As he says in The Publican, “But this beer is for people who have made the decision not to drink cask beer.

3.1 golden craft beer, full of flavour with a crisp refreshing citrus taste, wonderful orange peel aromas and crowned with a full white head from the wheat added to the brew. Brewed from a blend of East Anglian malted barley, Boadicea hops and wheat. Chilled and filtered to retain all the freshness, flavour and aromas of unpasteurised beer.

3.5 Golden body and small head. Equal aroma, with golden biscuit malts, cracker like, soft modern but modest carbonation. Okay de enable, certainly bitter enough, but a bit underwhelming overall. (33cl bottle from Saveur Bière)

3.0 Bottle. Golden amber body. Thin white head with no retention. Aroma is spice, red fruit, lychee fruit, kiwi. Alklaine taste with some tang. Dry finish.

3.1 Bottle bought at local Sainsburys in Eastbourne. Pours out in a deep golden colour with low head and medium to big body. Aroma of flowers and barley. Taste of mild hops, cake, barley, flowers, mild herbs and biscuits. Hints of Belgian yeast. Highly carbonated in the aftertaste. Refershinga nd nice.

3.7 Bottle from a shop in Eastbourne shared with McTapps. Well, this one was a real surprise. After all those boring bitters and other tryouts this really hit me when it comes up to aorma. Flowers mixed up with vanilla, some sweets, belgian yeast and a small part of hops. Balanced carbo, mild ending. Quality brew with it special moments within. Thumbs up.

2.3 # 3512 ersma: spindrift bedeutet auf deutsch gischt und soll die spritzigkeit verbalisieren. karamellfarben, klar mit mittlerer verschäumung. der geruch ist süßlich, ein wenig melassig. der antrunk ist dezent süßlich und leicht bitter. zur mitte überwiegt die bitterkeit, die aber weiterhin dezent bleibt. der abgang wird deutlich malziger, allerdings recht undefiniert, die bitterkeit nimmt schnell ab. die flasche ist ok. fazit: dünn und harmlos, mit der spritzigkeit ist es auch nicht weit her. tut nicht not. 10,8,7,6,10,7 - 7,45

3.4 bottle a golden yellow colored beer with a white head aroma malts citrus white fruits and hops flavor malts citrus spicy white fruits and bitter hops

2.3 Bottle in some pub in Norfolk. Shit pub, people standing in front of the telly when United are on. Didn’t enjoy the drink either. Best I can say it’s pretty easy to throw down when you’re in a mood. Just too watery and bland for my liking.

2.8 Bière blonde pale, assez plate, pas de mousse. Au nez, un peu de malt, légèrement houblonnée : senteur d’agrumes. Amertume moyenne, pas de corps, plate, goût pas désagréable d’agrumes mais quand même un peu fadasse. Ca doit être de la côte est anglaise dont il est question sur l’étiquette ....

1.8 This English lager made in an American style is described perfectly as emulating the ocean beach as it is flat and salty tasting. Don’t expect much from this beer except a nice label and a nice though of good American lagers!

3.0 Botella de 33 cl, adquirida en tienda XXXII. Color dorado. Sabor a lupulo, suave y muy ligeramente amarga.
