This is a lovely dark copper ale with a hint of delicious ruby red. There is a light, loose frothy head that disappears quite quickly although does leave a thin layer to give a bit of lacing on the glass.
It smells very malty with a slightly sweet fruity aroma, reminiscent of a thick buttered slice of malt loaf. The aroma is very subtle so it doesn't influence the taste experience.
Southwold is actually a really nice bitter; there is no hint at all of copper coins and it has the perfect amount of maltiness for me. It has a very smooth appearance but is filled with citrus metallic bubbles that race over your tongue to remind you that it's a bitter.

A classic bitter without any citrus or metallic overkill, ensuring that it will be a repeat purchase on my beery shopping list so Ale Be Seeing You Again!
