Description
Rudgate Brewery was established in 1992. The brewery is situated at the heart of Yorkshire in the Vale of York. The original brewery was situated in the former ammunition building of RAF Marston Moor Airfield which was home to the Halifax bombers that helped defend our country during World War 2. The name comes from the old Roman road of `Rudgate’ which runs through the airfield. This road led the Vikings along our vale defeating the Romans in their steps. This road and its history is what instigated the main theme of Vikings for the brewery. The brewery expanded into a modern new facility in 2010/11 on the same site.

500 ml bottle, from Systembolaget, shared in Oslo by my son Steinar. ABV is 4.2%. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma and flavour of earthy English hops, some fruit, a moderate malty sweetness. Enjoyable.

Amber-brown with a creamy white head and a floral 'bitter' aroma which certainly brings back memories of brown beer from my youth! Basically a pretty solid (best) bitter: a little bit fruity, a little bit malty and a nice bit of floral bitterness

Very pale blond colour with thin lacy head. Aroma has light citrus. It's a plain, simple beer but well made. Lightly grainy taste. A touch of bitterness.
