Description
Ruddles Brewery was a brewery in Rutland, England. The brand is now owned by Greene King who still brew beers under the Ruddles name in Suffolk, although the current recipes are not those used at the original brewery.
Ruddles became owned by Watneys in 1986, and then Grolsch in 1992, it was sold to Morland & Co in 1997. Morlands moved production to Abingdon only for that site to be closed by Greene King which took over Morlands in 2000.
There is a separate entry for the pre 1986 independent Ruddles.

Fra cask på Charlies Bar, nov-12: Minner fra mitt år i London strømmer på - fargen, lukten, smaken og engelsk pubstemning. Perfekt temperert. Ruddles på flaske og fra håndpumpe gjorde store inngrep i min studentlommebok, og ikke uten grunn - dette er en meget god session beer. Bring it on!

50 cl bottle @ Pappila. Rated on 24.07.2010
Aroma has toffee, some caramel, English hops and hints of hay. Flavour is slightly sweet with lots of toffee typical to English ales. Also some caramel and hints of biscuits. Very English.

Clear dark golden ale with a soapy aroma and a sour crisp bitterness. Not the best taste.

Cask at the Bankers Draft, Sheffield. Clear copper brown pour with a thin frothy head. Not much of an aroma with a slightly malty, slightly bitter taste. Nothing special. Just a thirst quencher. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This tastes a little flat to me. Almost has metallic tinge to it (and it’s from a bottle). Color is copper with small beige head. Aroma is faint, taste is of watery bitter. I tried this many years ago, and it was one of my favorites. Sad to see ti go down hill under Greene King...

500ml bottle - a pretty looking beer, copper body, white head. Heavy hop nose, with a bitter tang to taste. Not bad, but ordinary.
