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.

Cask at BP Dupont. Orange-brown. Filtered/fined. Soapy, frothy head. Fishy English aroma. Caramel toffee tones, no C02, all cask feel. Tastes refreshingly English but rather boring and lacking in the hop department. Watery, awkward caramel/toffee tones. Unexceptional.

Cask at Churchkey. Sparkler used. Reminds me of the days I lived almost in the shadow of the brewery, in Barton Mills, not far from Bury. Clear golden color, thick white head (that’s the sparkler at work). Aroma of lemon peel and citrus. Sweet start, followed by a soft bitterness with a bit of lemon peel. Very pleasant stuff, a perfect session beer.

Cask at the Wharf. A dark amber beer, some white bubbles on top. Clear body. The aroma is bready with a fruity touch. Some cider like notes. The flavor is bready with a cider like sourness. Quite dry. Some bitterness. A rather strange one, at least the cider like notes. 110417

Amber gold beer. Crisp palate. Pronounced Rhubarb that leads to a bone dry hoppy and rhubarb finish that lingers and lingers. Unusual but the palate makes it hard work.
