Gunhill 4% ABV
We are delighted to announce that Adnams Gunhill will be available in cask for February, March and April 2010.
A traditional dark ruby beer, delivering a full flavour. Full aromatic barley malts and an exquisite blend of hops combined to create a wonderful balance of sweet biscuit and subtle fruit flavours with a hint of chocolate bitterness.
First brewed in 2008, this beer can be described as a cross between a dark mild and an old fashioned brown ale. We use a blend of 4 different malts to give a rich dark beer that belies its low ABV. The toffee, chocolate and spicy flavours come from the Chocolate, Crystal and Aromatic malted barleys and the sweetness left from the Tipple malted barley is balanced by the bitterness from the Boadicea hops.
Gunhill reminds me of the days when Adnams brewed a beer called ‘Fisherman’. The Gunhill brew however reaches the top step of the ladder of exellence.
Just enjoying a fresh pint of Gunhill in The George at Dereham…..Delicious……
Wonderful to see the delicious Gunhill available for a longer period casked. This is by far the tastiest beer that’s come out of Sole Bay for many a year; it’s even better than the Old.
