Adnams Gunhill
Tasting notes
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.
What’s the story?
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.

I was in Southwold at the weekend and the barman at the Sole Bay Inn recommended Gunhill to me when I asked for a dark, malty bitter, my preferred style. He wasn’t wrong – it was absolutley delicious. For a few pints over an evening I would probably still go for the classic biiter, but for a mid-afternoon break the Gunhill was perfect.
Had a pint of Gunhill last night with my Adams & steak pie at the Bell in Rickinghall – perfect pint for a perfect meal.
Thanks.
Not bad but I prefer Broadside.
Princes Risborough,Bucks………..Have been an Adnams fan for most of my drinking life, of which over the years if Broadside has been on at a pub that i have visited,there has been no debate…But thanks to Morrisons in High Wycombe,ive just purchased my first bottles of Gunhill…Wow what a beer..it has made my festive period…Although over the period ive tried allof yours,this one obviously suits my pallet,and is an absolutely fabulous brew,and i will be pushing this one to all my friends….Well done
